we bought this car 20 months back and at that time the dealers promised 14kmpl overall and 16-17kmpl on highway without ac...but when we bought the car...it was giving mileage of 6-7kmpl overall and 12.5kmpl on highway without ac in the initial months...when asked by the company ..they asked us to come to the workshop and get it tested...and the results were normal..and they cudnt figure out wat was wrong wid the mileage...so they blamed it on the newness of the car and that the mileage wud increase after the first service...
so the first service is done in due course of time..and the mileage increases to only 7-7.5kmpl...overall...
and again they repeat the same thing when we asked them about this by saying that it will increase slowly after the 2nd and 3rd service...well it did increase...but only to 8-8.5kmpl overall...and we cudnt even get an lpg kit retrofitted bcoz they sed that the warranty will become void...
the plastics arent great either...but wat cud one expect after buying a 1400cc car for less than 4 lacs...
the power windows are another shitty drawback...they get stuck all the time...
the central locking system isnt any great shakes either...
there are some good things about this car too...
the pick up is phenomenal...
the engine sounds like a ferrari when it is raced..vrooommm
the ac is damn powerful...u can get chills sitting in the back seat with the fan on at only one ka speed...
power steering is just perfect...not too hard...not too soft....
and the best part is that theres loootssss of space everywhere...u will never feel uncomfortable in this car...and if the front seats are fully pushed in the front...then it ppl like yokozuna can also fit in this car...
the boot is faily large...and is well equipped...
well all in all if u want to surprise a rash driver my nothcing up ur speed and going after him/her...this is the best car ..coz its a hatch and its cheap..and its pretty fast...
i know u guys wont believe it but i won a against a porche in an outrun race on marine drive and my car was doin 145kmph without any hitch...mayb i was lucky..the driver of the porche must be driving in the second gear or sumthing...haha
looks good,good power steering, being a cheap car..pick up is good, feels like a sedan while drivingprone to scratches on the bumpers due to round shape on all side...CRAPPY MILEAGE...
