    PURCHASE:
    New

    DRIVING:
    Few thousand kilometers

    MIne is top end 110 ps-Done 6000 km and 2 months old. Paid 13.50. Nice car to be self driven, does extremely well in Hiways, intimaidates others in city to have your way, easy to manuouver and park. What else you need in a car  when you are in it for not more than 2 hours at a stretch or 200 km.

    Even in rural TamilNadu, Duster did a great job in after rain roads and holes. No noise or rattling in the aftermatth.

    Except in 2nd, it has good power in 4th and 5th. Need not get into lower gears even in 60kmph. After 110-120, it roars and asks u shift to 6th. Smooth as any other luxury cars on Autobahs in 6th doing 110-170. No noise or roar. Even in 170 it holds the poise.

    Braking is good, gear shifting is smooth and driving is comfortable. The lumor adjustment in really thoughtful.

    As far the passengers, front seating is comfy, cool and roomy. Back seating is fine for small built, dont know about taller ones. Boot space is enough for a week'd travel for four.

    Now to the down side: The CAR LEAKS. YES. Ask the service people in Khivraj Pearl, Chennai. There was water and first I thout I had driven through watel logged places so some water got in. When it rained last week in Chennai, i realised it really leaks. Servce people said beedings wrongly set( in a new top end car !!)

    The Audio system was working perfectly for about 15 days, then it started swithcing off every 10 minutes( exactly 10 minutes) . Have complianed but yet to get replacements.

    So beware. Can anyone guide me as to how to go about these complaints.

    Good Power, Roomy, intimidates autowallahs, Averaged 16.73 kmpl ( highway and Chennai).Value for MoCar leaks, mats soaked with water , audito switches off every 10 minutes
