    Exterior Good exterior but there is cope of improvement to make it contemporary.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) This is one area where this car will beat the expectation. Very comfortable interior and leg-room for driving. There is some compromise in boot space but this is not unexpected given the samll size.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox With my 1000km drive, there is no let down so far with engine performance, It is a silent vehicle. Fuel economy is quite good. For me it has clicked 18 so far (impved from 17.8).

    There is no gear-locking in AMT, with little careless driving gear shifts to Neutral without any clue. We realise only after vehicle stops moving even after intense throttling. This is a design error, which can be corrected with a simple external attachment/cap for gear knob locking.

    Ride Quality & Handling Superb ride quality. Shock absorbers are not so good as of i10/i20, but not bad either. Very easy to handle and maneuover evenin crowded or cramped space. However, the body exterior and bonet do appear quite fragile (very thin material build-up which should be avoided).

    Final Words Very good car single hand driving.

    Areas of improvement ABS is a must for auto-gear car, there is no provision for ABS which is a big let down. Minor features like rear wiper, rear camera, parking sensors would have given a good value addition without any significant cost. Tile steering and driver's seat height adjustment may be considered in future upgrade.

    Good fuel economy, silent drivingFragile gear assembly, weak body and bonnet
