ANHC 1.5V MT

Exterior

One of the good looking Japanese sedans. The positive additions are alloy wheels, fog lamps and improved plastics.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Great space for all the passengers. Rear passengers also get (sort of) foot rest, due to the presence of fuel tank under the front seats. Very good comfortable driving position. Reversing is not easy, as one needs a good judgment or reverse parking sensors.  It lacks several features which are available in modern cars as simple as auto AC, leather seats, electric folding mirrors, etc. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Performance is great and silky smooth engine. Pickup from any speed is very good and controlling the car is excellent while driving (I didn't try more than 100kmph) and braking. Fuel economy is also very good (Average 17 kmpL). The gear box is very sleek. 

Ride Quality & Handling

I like the ride quality and the handling is superb. It is very easy to drive, esp. in 3rd gear the minimum speed I could go is 20 kmph and maximum (recommended) is 60 kmph. Hence, in city traffic (not bumper to bumper) the gear changes are minimal. Although several people have mentioned issues regarding ground clearance, I did not face any. This might be due to I go slow on the speed brakes. I cannot comment in pot holes since I did not come across many. Even if I did, there was no problem for GC.

Final Words

It is a very good sedan, powerful engine with great performance and a good braking efficiency. Although, it is expensive compared to other cars in this segment, the extra money partly can be recovered saving on fuel (high mileage).  

Areas of improvement  

It needs lots of comfort features (within this price) like European cars (esp. Linea) such as Telescopic steering wheel (only tilt is present), electric heated and folding mirrors, key-less remote with trunk opening, auto AC.
