Buying experience was good.
I have driven the car 500kms and it has already made 3 trips to the workshop within a week of purchase.
Driving experience -
1. mileage is bad (7.5km/l)
2. the rear camera is of the lowest quality possible, It looks like a school project camera.
3. the car rushes backward in reverse gear, thereby increasing chances of an accident,
4. the car rushes forward when you release the brakes thereby increasing chances of an accident when parking the car,
5. the brakes make a lot of groaning and screeching sounds, and the brakes don't give a lot of confidence on high speeds
6. there is no front parking sensor and mixed with the jerk with which it moves forward you are bound to crash your front bumper into the wall sooner or later
7. the car has no beep when locking or unlocking. if you forget where you parked it, you will spend a lot of time looking for the car
8. The touchscreen panel and the instrument cluster are not great. The interface is clumsy and takes a lot of clicks to get anywhere. You can't see riving data or economy or avg economy in one click...everything that's important usually requires 3 clicks, and that is dangerous when driving. So best to do it when your car is parked, and avoid changing data you want to see while driving
9. Plastics are hard, cheap and clunky
10. The AC keeps making a loud constant hissing sound in the cabin of the car, It almost never stops.
The car lacks sophistication and is not value for money.
Looks great though.
Have only driven 500kms so no Service done yet.
My recommendation is to avoid buying a Slavia and go for a City or a Verna if you want a sedan. I have a Kia Seltos, and that is a far superior car for the same price and significantly better mileage, noise levels, AC effectiveness, smoothness, convenience, interior quality, and ease of operation.
