1. Buying Experience
Bought the car during Navratre 2016. Booked it during Shradh so got a discount totaling 50k including exchange bonous for our 22yr old 800 and corporate benefits. Finally delivery was smooth with all the customs and formalities.

2. Riding Experience
It can give you feel of speeds in excess of 150kmph but would suggest not to test and be below the 100mark. There is not much to complaint about at this price point.
Smooth ride if driven with a light foot.
AMT needs time to get used to
3. Looks
This car brings positivity to your life with that smiling face welcoming you.
Performance
Within the city its a cracker won't disappoint you when you floor the gas pedal.
4. Service and Maintenance
This the part where I laugh the most.
Its been more than two years and regular services apart from the 3 free services I even got the 4th one free from Rana Motors. And total cost of servicing my car is just 2500till date which includes 2 oil changes and coolant change in 4th Service.
So its almost INR100/Month till now.
5. Pros
Fun to Drive
Powerful for city use
AMT makes it breeze to drive through those congested lanes.
Pocket Friendly
Cons
Strictly limited for 2 adults and 2 small kids, anything more than that would be really a task to accommodate.
FE till now in city(Delhi) has been 11-12km/l in city with Full time AC & 13-14km/l without AC.
Highway mileage can vary from 16-18km/l with AC
and 19-21km/l without AC
*these mileage figures have been regularly calculated since the day I bought the car through tank full to tank full method. And the figures have remaining more or less the same, 21.23 was the best I could achieve on highway without AC by driving in the range of 60-80.
The AMT sensor failed once in the 3rd month when the car stopped responding to gear change, had taken the car on flat bed towing machine. The car has been working flawlessly since then.
Should have some advance technology or atleast dte and mileage indication in instrument cluster.
No rear wipes and defogger.
A lot of cost cutting in terms of quality and features.
Finally would conclude by
Worth every penny spent.
But if AMT is not a necessity you could consider a trendline polo 1.0
