Good car for average indian families with a balance of in and outstation rides with a good boot

Exterior Very smart finish with prominent lines from the tail gate, looks quite smart from the rear with large tail lamps. Front is pretty good with dual spoke front grill and also large headlights, over all very smart looking design. The best designing factor is that the boot has been integrated very neatly to the body design and don’t feel odd the way the D'zire looks 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors are not that impressive though they could have done a better job however seats are very well designed and comfortable, the best point is that the rear seats are so spacious with an arm rest is a plus point while compared to other models in this segment. Lot of space to stow your water bottles and the front seat is curved from back side to make more room sitting in the rear seat.... they should have provided back seat pouches for storage. The best part is the trunk and it is of 400 liters which is very essential for an average Indian family while travelling out of stations and this is a clear cut advantage over other cars in this segment.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Indeed Performance is very snappy and quick response for a diesel car, however the clutch should have been tad bit smoother (expected from Honda's reputation). Gear shifting is a pleasure and very close and performs pretty well even in the busy city traffic roads. As regards to the fuel economy it is pretty good but not to the promises of Honda but for sure it returns the best in class fuel economy. Fantastic pick up and absolutely no lag in the performance.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is very smooth as accepted and handles very well as the steering response is immense and the turning radius is fantastic. It gives a great feel while driving and never makes you feel that you are driving a diesel car but for the cabin noise

Final Words Very good car but to my feeling it is a bit over priced and they should have considered a better interiors and some latest features like Blue tooth etc.,

Areas of improvement I thoroughly feel that they should have given a push button start in all the variants and also should seriously consider upgrading the interiors. Must add an armrest to the drivers seat for the comfort. They should think of a better music system than that of the existing one. They should have incorporated an airbag at least for the driver.

Fuel Economy is good but not as per the boasting of Honda , Spacious trunk, spacious back seatEngine noise a tad bit louder, no Bluetooth, interiors are just average
