The New Star in My Life

Finally after days of moving around in the market , browsing at all options (i-10 , Swift, Wagon-R, Spark even the i20) i decided to opt for the A-star ZXi.
After having driven Maruti Wagon R for the last 3 years and esteem before that.. i am confident of a Maruti serving me again faithfully.
To state my needs, i was looking for a city vehicle which is good on FE, pleasure to drive DAILY to work and back, good feature and looks, Weekend outings with my family (wife and two small angels). The A-star suited my needs the best.
I agree with many that there are negatives the A-star has viz.
1] Cramped rear seat - Leg room for the rear passenger is less, but not cramped as what is said about.. infact i checked practically and concluded that at a Normal driving position of a driver (5.6 ht driver) the rear seat provided enough leg room to a (5.10 ht passenger). (similar to a wagon r). Yes.. the Third person at the back means its a tight fit... but all  hatchbacks face the same issue.. maybe not in the swift...or Getz
2] Boot - SMALL or may be non existance... but i do not carry suitcases to work everyday.. so not an issue (atleast not in city drives) for long vacation drives.. yes.. boot space will be missed .. but as per my calculation... the A-Star will accomodate 1 suitcase less than the wagon r in the boot. (my wagon r accomodated 1 large suitcase or 2 suitcases and 2 small bags..)
I could have opted for the Maruti Swift but since i drive 60 kms everday FE was something which A-star wins over the SWIFT. Swift diesel definitely would have been a great option for me.. but 8 weeks waiting and a 1.5 lac more was not worth it...
i-10 kappa was also a great option but again the A-star wins on FE, cost and features on the ZXI. The legroom is almost as similar in a A-star maybe some inches better in i-10.. but seating 4 is comfortable in A-star too... Boot in i-10 is better yes... but the same argument with the wagon r won me over.
The A-star in drive - Much refined engine , excellent gear shift ( better than the swift and i-10 and much better than the wagon -r ), better ratios and better suspension. Very responsive than the i-10... i guess similar to a swift

Great Style and Excellent Fuel EconomyLess Boot Space
