3.0 Exterior | 4.0 Comfort | 4.0 Performance |
5.0 Fuel Economy | 4.0 Value for Money |
Exterior The car does have a unique character of its own. But designing could have been improved, which would have made the character of this car come out more. Front of the car looks better than the rear. The tail lights can be improved some what I feel.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Space and comfort is decent. I like to have my coffee while driving, and there are enough cupholders provided for this purpose. Storage space also is decent. Would have like some additonal features in the VXI Auto model, like E OVRM, rear wiper and defogger. That would have probably taken the cost of the car to 5.5 to 5.7 lac on road. But i still feel, these should be given as optional features.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performace is decent. This is my first auto car, so i was skeptical, but was pleasently surprised by the performance. The auto geaar shift is excellent. One who has never driven an auto car, will take some time to get used to the auto transmission. But once you get comfortable, you will really start enjoying this. I drive every day form Delhi to Noida covering around 70 kms every day in hte Delhi traffic hours, and trust me the auto shift has really made my life so much easy.
Also, the car has a fairly good fuel economy. It gave me an average of around 16.5 in einters, with teh AC off and with AC, the avg is around 15.5.
There are indicators which tell, how much more distance can the car travel with the fuel that is there in the tank.
Ride Quality & Handling The car has a decent suspension and can handle the bumps and the pot holes pretty well. In terms of handing, I can easily maneouvre the car in traffic and in congested areas.
Final Words Overall a good car for anyone looking for an entry level auto transmission.
Its a very good car for people who like to sit a bit high and dont like the cars which have a sunken feeling. Good for people in 50's. While im still 31 and the car is for me as well :)
Areas of improvement At low speeds, when the car is in 1st gear, sometime i have experienced some jerks. Had taken the car to the workshop, but the problem did not occur in front of them, so they could not do anything about it.
Should give Optional EOVRMS, rear viper and defogger.
Auto Gear shift works well. good fuel economy.Exterior styling can be improved slightly. Should give some more optional features in the VXI Auto
