Exterior Personal Choice. I love every bit of it. I like the rear glass a lot as it is pretty sturdy and strong.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Loads of space (except luggage) for passengers, Easy to fit in 5 people. Driver height adjustable seat is really useful. For other passengers getting IN and OUT is not good as the car seating is low. Good under thigh support for everyone. A/C works fine (if alone then close the passenger side vents).
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Poor power at lower revs. Need to downshift gears to juice out the power. But never felt lack of power after downshifting.
Fuel economy is subject to your driving styles. I am a sedate driver. For my daily ccommute from South Delhi to Gurgaon, in summers (with 100% A/C ON) i get between 12-14. In winters (no A/C) i get around 16-17. I mostly drive with Green ECO lamp ON. The best fuel efficieny i got was 25 for the first 100 kms from delhi to Jaipur at early morning (almost nil traffic) with max speed 80. When my wife drives in city with 100% A/C i get barely 10-12 average.
Ride Quality & Handling Very practical road manners. Well implanted on road and never feels like going out of control. Suspension is on stiffer side. which is good for highways but bad for city conditions (esp potholes). Looks low floor but i have never faced GC issues (rubbing with ground).
Final Words Excellent car for daily commute in 5 lac buget. Great fuel economy (only if ECO driving). Loads of power beyond 2K rpm. Great after sales service as service reps themselves detected rear shocker oil leak during regular service and inititated a free replacement under warranty.
I plan to keep it for a long time.
Areas of improvement I always wanted to have Auto A/C in the car. They just recently launched new BRIO with that option.
