    Exterior

    I had driven A -Star for about 600 kms from Pune to Aurangabad and return. Here are my reviews.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

    Interiors are quite spacious for placing your daily objects, rear leg space is less, good thigh support at back seat. No clutch foot rest means long drive will be tiresome., small rear wind screen. Driver seat is quite comfortable, but misses the height adjuster. Driving position is quite ok.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

    New K series engine, is doing good job in A-Star, lags punch in 4th gear. 2nd and 3rd gear ratio is quite good and overtaking is easier in these gears, but if u want to overtake in 4th or 5 th really K -series is lagging behind its competitors. K-Series respond well once engine  RPM touches 3500 mark. till then u will feel the same old engine maruti car. 

    Ride Quality & Handling

    Handling is good at high speed, suspension is very responsive, Steering is quite hard. For front seaters ride is good. Initall pick up is good but in 3rd and 4th gear engine lacs the punch.

    Final Words

    If anyone wants a change from Alto or 800 then go for A-Star. Not really VFM, as Maruti has priced this in competition with I10, the value they are offering with this car should be 50K less.

    Areas of improvement  

    Accelerator pedal is very hard, clutch foot rest, change the 3rd and 4th gear ratio.
