I ve been using this car for a year and it is sort of mixed feelings to the car. The ride quality is good and driving in heavy traffic is also not that hectic. The pick up at times considerably drops which can be irritating. The vehicle handles great. Compared to the zen the 1000 is far better(personal opinion). Being a sedan it has its advantages. Performance is quite satisfactory. Overall I rate this car as value for money.Absolutely good looking & can beeasily manouvered in trafficAC not effecient & lower pick up with AC on
