    DRIVING:
    Did a short drive once

    Exterior Look like cars of 1970s. Looks like vintage SUV. As a car looks too big, as an SUV too small. So far Tata cars were known for bad styling, Renault & Nissan are below Tata in styling. Micra & Pulse look like Hatch models of Ambassador

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) When you put 10 Lakhs, the features you find in any other vehicle. Space is really cramped. Its neither comfortable as car nor as SUV. SUMO Gold & Bolero at 60% price are much more comfortable and give feeling of secure inside. Is looks bulging from outside BUT inside space can be compared to Alto, Santro or Indica

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox At 10 Lakhs, 1.4 Litre is not expected. Though Ertiga has 1.3 Litre BUT FIAT MJD performs way better than Renault's 1.4. Shame Renault, SUMO, Bolero, XYLO offer engines 2.5 L to 3.0 Litre.

    Ride Quality & Handling ANother issue. Though being a tiny SUV turning circle is small, that is best in segment.

    Final Words It is wastage of money. After initial excitement is over, within a year, its sales can come down the way seen in VW Vento, Polo & Skoda cars.

    Areas of improvement Styling, Engine, Pricing, Size all needs to be re shaped.

    Car with high ground clearance for bad Indian roadsMuch better option at this price Ertiga, Safari Storme, Quanto
