Exterior
I got a Champagne Gold 1.2 Magna.. The exterior looks beautiful.. It is Strong and the Curves at the Front gives it an elegant look. ALso the rear end completes the design.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)
Interiors are Very Comfortable.. Lot of space and headroom at the front. A liitle less leg space in the back seats. The AC is very powerful and cools the car in a matter of seconds.. The Controls are also easily mounted and very handy..
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox
The Unique palcement of the gears very close to the Dashboard gives a very handy feel while changing gears. The engine is cool and revs beautifully at the slight touch of the Accelarator.. Also there is absolutely no noise whoch comes from the engine to the inside. It is a smooth upshft whcih happens while Accelerating.. U will not notice when the car went from 40kmph to 100kmph. Car gives an efficiency of 13kmpl on Crowded city conditions and have been able to push to 17-18 kmpl on the highway driving..
Ride Quality & Handling
Superb Ride Quality. The Car zips across the streets with almost no challenge. Then it can be a crowded trffic infested street or an empty highway, climbing on the ghats or coming down the ghats.. The car has excellent control and reacts to even the smallest requests. Very good suspension takes car of almost all but the worst potholes without any discomfort...
Vibrations can be felt only at about 130kmph and higher.. Below that every speed is comfortable.
Final Words
This is the Car to go For.. Even if you are looking at small traffic infested distances or long drives during the weekends..
Areas of improvement
Small cars have the challenge of Smaller Rear leg spaces and Smaller boot spaces.. But Leg spaces are much bettter than the Santro and Swift. Also features like rear defoggers and rear wipers need to be introduced in the Magna too..
