The best your 8 lacs can get!!!

Exterior The looks are not the best you can get at this price (as you can buy an entry level model of verna with this money), but not at all bad as well (It might end up being second or third based on exterior looks).

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The interiors of the car are as inviting as non other car's (in this price) would be. The features are awesome, with navigation system and a good responsive touch screen. This is the most spacious and comfortable car one can fetch in this price range. In fact, the car's rear seat's recine angle is said to be more comfortable than the Mercedes Benz S-Class.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The engine is a great performer and one can easily clock 150 kmph, if the road allows you to. Also, the car gives no lags in performance even if the AC is kept to its fullest. The economy might be somewhat around 18 to 20 overall. The gearbox is swift and its quite easy to shift the gears.

Ride Quality & Handling The ride quality and handling is a differentiating factor for this car and the others at this price. Its great to be at the driver's seat. The steering is as much responsive as it should be. Even the suspension is worth a praise.

Final Words - Overall, with all the good features and one or two odd negatives, the car stands to be a great value for money and a must buy if you have 8 lacs to spare.

Areas of improvement As mentioned in the cons, the NVH insulation needs to be improved. And seeing the size of the car, a rear parking sensor should be added. Also, because of the space inside the cabin, the car seriously requires rear AC vents (which are now available in Xcent).
