Exterior
Descent design , may be not at par with Elite i20 but looks great.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)
Space - Very Spacious , Great leg room, Huge boot as well (Actually bigger than dzire also .. by 4 litres).
Infotainment System : You wont need to change this one. Speakers are very good, with punchy bass as well. Did not even find the need of the missing tweeters.
Auto AC - most reviews out here say that the feather touch AC forces you to get your eyes of road, but i dont think so. When i start i just touch the Auto button and the AC Does its job very well.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox
This is main point of focus. My daily driving in city is around 40-50 kms (mumbai)
If your driving on open highways without turning the speedometer blue, the car will easily return you between 22- 24KMPL.
The overall average in city driving is between 18-19KMPL. It drops down to 17 if your driving in traffic conditions.
Ride Quality & Handling
This is a pocket rocket. The engine is silky smooth with a lot of power pumped in. You wont find the power missing at any point , acceleration is liner and delivers power just perfectly.
Handling is no where difficult. The steering is perfectly weighed as well.
Final Words
A perfect car for the city & open roads as well. Price may be a bit on the higher side but none of its competitiors offer this power except the Polo where the rear passesngers will have to compromise of the space badly. Thus this is my pick as it is the best blend .
Areas of improvement
Small minor issues like connectivity issues in the bluetooth.
Wiper water leak (observed in on the second day of delivery)
Nothing else apart from the two above.
Best in class mileageA little more premium set of plastics could have made the game even better
