    Hi All,

    i m driving in Delhi. purchased my logan on 1st nov 2007

    i have been reading lot many reviews abt Logan. I own GLX1.4

    my logan has done 20000kms and have got my 3rd service done

    my feedback as on 22/8/08:

    1. mileage : Delhi @ 12-13 kmpl w/o AC & highway = @ 16-17 kmpl (Awesome i shud say- considering a 1.4L engine - 8 valve)
    2. driving comfort :

               - Power steering : harder than expected ( I had 2000 model of Ford icon 1.6Zxi prior to buying Logan and i found the steering of old ford to be slightly smoother than my new logan.

             - seats : very comfortable 

              -  cockpit -- good , on the contrary to the reviews mentioning reverse wipers and indicators -- i would definetely point out that the wipers are much stronger than most of the cars and the direction anyways doesnt bother the drive. Indicator direction may require initial adjustment(Ford too has reverse indicators keys)

    3. AC : here i had some issues - it is not extremely hot these days in Delhi but still during the daytime i donot find AC to be actually chilling the Car as expected.. === AC of all my other cars {ALTO,ZEN-Estilo, Ford and WagonR(both of which i have sold now) was/is better performer}

     

    UPON SERVICE IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS SOME LEAKAGE IN THE AC HENCE THE PERFORMANCE WAS NOT GOOD== got it rectified under warranty and it is now working much much better.

     

     

    4. Pick up ::  Good pick up lets not forget it is only 76Bhp beauty and performs upto the mark . Although the ABC (Accelerator, Brake and clutch) are positioned closer to each other hence sometimes it may disturb you.

    5. Braking: excellent - have encountered couple of instances where i needed to bring the car from 110-0 and i think it did in at max @2-3 seconds flat.

    6. Gear shift==  excellent --  i understand Renault is respected for both their Engine and Gear box and i should say they are both outstanding.

    7. space -- should i comment on it?

     

    overall i am content with the vehicle at this price and truly a Value for MONEY car.

     

    THESE DAYS I M IN BAHRAIN AND LOGAN HAS BEEN RECENTLY LAUNCHED (OCT-NOV- 2009) AND TRUST ME THE SPECS HERE ARE FAR FAR BETTER THAN WHAT THE R IN INDIA... AND THE PRICE IS SIMPLY BEYOND COMPARISON. 

     - 1.6L LOGAN - AUTOMATIC IS @ INR 6L ON ROAD HERE.

     - TOYOTA COROLLA - AUTOMATIC 1.8L - @ 9L ON ROAD HERE

    - HONDA CITY - 1.6L  AUTOMATIC - @INR 6.5L 

    DUTIES IN INDIA ARE MAKING THE PRICE SKYROCKETING ---  @ 2-3 TIMES THE ORIGINAL COST .... TOO EXPENSIVE..

    if any one differs with my review pls send me the feedback may be i have overlooked some thing in last 10 months of driving
