    DRIVING:
    Few thousand kilometers

     

    Exterior I have driven it 1800 KM. Exterior really looks awsome and surely a head turner. You feel like spcial when you are driving in the traffic.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Its really comfertable with very good two tone interiors. Intially I thought of changing seat fabric but the OEM seat is really good and suits very well for interiors. Bucket styled seat will give you maximum comfert and leg space. Clutch foot rest is a very good feature. Audio is pretty decent and performs really well even in high volume. AUX and USB is good too. Seat hight adjuster which is not avaiolable in magna 1.2 version is a turn of. I have I10 and Alto VXI other than this newly added I20. I feel superior while driving this car. The width of this cat is greater than honda city and most entry level sedans. boot space is good too. Legspace in both front and back are good too.

    Not available 60:40 foldable seat feature and electric OVRM feature is another turn off in magna 1.2 vertion. Automatic climate controle is very good and performs well.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Magna 1.2 petrole vertion is having very low acceleration. I mean to say. when you are driving your car at 80-90 KMh at 5th gear, and when you want to over take another vehicle, the power is not readyly avilable. You have to gear down to 4th and over take. Every one drives 1.4 version vehicle for test drive as the showroom guys will come with the top end version only. I also drove 1.4 ASTA version and got fooled by pic up and acceleration.

    I suggest every one to test drive the version wheich they are intented to buy. Even after first service, I am getting only 9kml in city and 14kml in high way (Bangalore mysore high way). So milage is very bad. I drove this car at 160KMH in Nice road Bangalore. What i observed is speed slowly builds up and is not readyly available as in swift or ritz but car is very study even at 160KMH but ritz and swift (test drive vehicles) shook like they were in fever at 145KMH in nice road.

    Ride Quality & Handling Suspention, gear transmission and steering is really really butter smooth and you can enjoy the ride real good. Engine is not noisy and performs good.

    Final Words Really good family car for those who are not worried about power and milage.

    Areas of improvement Definatle power and milage. Same 1.2 versions of swift and ritz give much more power and acceleraion.

    Exterior looks, interiors, ride qualityVery bad milage, bit under powered.
