    DRIVING:
    Few thousand kilometers

    Exterior

    GOOD: Nice looking car with an excellent appeal from rear three fourth. Good looking Projector Head Lamp.Dark UV cut glasses gives good look to the car. Rear view also good with LED lights.

    BAD: Fog lamps should have a chrome outer design, Rear Bumber not projecting out to good length. Alloys wheels could have been more stylish (now classic look).

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

    GOOD: Comfort seating with more space, Good entertainment system with fast responsive touch interface, Nice AC cools cabin very fast, acceptable sound quality no need to  upgrade if you dont want thumping bass.Back quarter glass gives airt feel to the cabin.

    BAD: Plastics quality should have been better.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

    GOOD: Smooth gear shift, no vibration in gear lever, less need of first gear in moderate to heavy traffic, 2nd and 3rd will do the job.

    BAD: clutch is at the bottom we will have to depress fully to change gear , RPM set to 600 at starting hence may stall on 1st gear if do  not  have experience in releasing the clutch carefully ( being new vehicle slightly hesitent to increase RPM in the morning).

    Ride Quality & Handling GOOD: Nice stable ride (touched 100 kmph with  new car at a windy costal road ), Good response to steering , weight can be felt at high speed thus giving a better feel of control.

    BAD Slightly hard suspension (not 100% smooth comfy ride like some SUVs)

    Final Words LUCY TO GET car with in one month of booking ( booked on 30/10/2015  received on 26/11/2015 white colour ) .Excellet NEXA experience never visited the showroom for booking ( all paper less ( whattsapp and mail) ).Once visited for testdrive and then for taking delivery.

    Areas of improvement When roads of our state improves a more powerful engine to ZOOM around ( as for now this engine is fine for the roads I drive on).

    AC, DRL, CABIN INSULATION ,GREAT MILAGE , GOOD DRIVER SEAT COMFORT AND VISIBILITY , GOOD SPACEBACK SEAT CAN BE BROADER , MIRROR AND WINDOW CONTROLS NOT BACK LIT
