Exterior Good looks for this budget, fair ground clearance, Exhaust position & visibility is perfect, dash from backside may result in dent on back door directly ( have a look from side), visibility is good compare to Eon / Kwid.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Space is more, Dashboad is simple but decent, if you are going for unadjustable seat version, then it suits only for few people, cooling for back seat needs blower on 3 / 4 for outside temp 32 & above.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine vibration could be observed clearly if you touch your legs to dashboard, but intensity is not much. After alll 3 cylinders with low budget car. 1000cc engine as expected shows performance difference for overtaking & pick up for low speed with AC ON & AC OFF. Reverse gear shift if not good. Suspension is ok. City 18.5 km/litre, Highway 21.6 km.hr.
Ride Quality & Handling Confident driving upto 80km/hr. Above that ABS is necessery, Steering output could be predicted in any situation, so best for city as well as off city driving. 200 km at stretch driving is not hard. No major mantainance seen in 3 years / 30000 kms.
Final Words Nice budget car. Easily overtakes EON, KWID for sure. People gets confused as price falls inbetween 3.5 lakh cars & 7 lakh cars. However, component quality is fair for this price compared to KWID.
Areas of improvement It's a budget car. How can we expect more than this.
Space,Fuel economy,maintenance,sterring control,city driving easiness.Pickup with AC on lower speed(always happen for 1000cc),sometimes Engine vibration in cabin
