Exterior

Quite decently lined aerodynamics for all to see, so don't have much to say. Be careful about the bumpers as they are just stuck around withplastic clips. A slight bump and they might partially dislodge.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Good colour tone,comfy seats. Great music system, just connect yr iPod or any decent cell phone to the aux port and you will realise how good the speakers are. Excellent thigh support fr the front seats. If u are a higway type then u will thank Nissan all the more. Pint sized glove box is just good for car papers only, could have been better. No USB and Bluetooth is a big let down. Cup holders in the rear arm rest are just pressed in. Aircon isquite efficient and blower speeds are quite okay. Front and rear defoggers are also quite  good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Sunny XL Petrol I own is among the first ones in the state and till now have clocked about 4000 Kms. Gear shift is smooth and the engine is quite decent. Most comfortable in the range of 2500- 3000 revs. Have got an average economy of 18 kmpl on highway and about 14kmpl in the city but Lucknow is a congested place and since clutch is the most used pedal here so have no reason to complain. Both economies are with air con running and 5 guys on the highway and 3 in the city.

Ride Quality & Handling

Suspensions are light and avrg pot holes on the road are a non issue. Be careful on executing turns at speed above 60. Could detect a slight body roll at that speed. Less than that speed the things are a breeze on the turns. Steering is very light and sensitive and this is a bit of a draw back as u have to concentrate more at speeds above 90-100. For city driving it's comfortable. Front pillar are a bit forward located which creates a blind spot for the driver at an angle of aprox 45-50 degrees, which means that on crossings u some time have to crane yr head for the cross traffic, as simple eye movement will not do.

Final Words

All in all an extremely good package and worth every rupee of the 7.75 lacs u spend on getting this baby home. When I bought the car there were hardly any Sunny around. What  actually required getting used to was the people ogling you from the side then speeding up to see the front and falling back to see the rear . Lol? Yeah and one thing more which I read in one of the reviews here was about getting outfitted with Micra accessories. Ok very right bcos the Sunny accessories werenot in the market. Mine was supplied with Micra foot mats for the purpose of protecting the carpet, but they called up after 4 days came over to my place and changed the mats with the sunny ones without any charge.

Areas of improvement  

 not much. A bigger glove and USB n Bluetooth would make the complete package.

 

Styling and comfort. Miles of leg roomCould have done better with a USB, Bluetooth and a bigger glove box
