Execellent car fabia 1.2

Exterior

Car is very beautiful and elegant in style and if analogy is  drawn with human species it has a nordic features than negrito feaures the most of the todays hatchback have in common.(it has to be read as purely in scientific temparament and by nomeans to undermine any race or human sub species.

Interior (Features, Spaece & Comfort)

Interiors are beautiful, ample space in cabin and in boot and ride is very comfortable

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

The noise of engine during the cranking can be easily be mislead for diesel than petrol, economy from inception was 16-17km/ltr which included 90 percent long drive+ 10 percent city drive, and 12-13km/ltr in hill drive and at present after more than 7500kms the frugality of fuel and performance has increased considerably although i have not kept the log in the recent past. This i can guess from the fact that how much petrol it use to consume in the past and present consumption covering the same route for eg, darjiling to slliguri and back. Another good thing is that torque availabity is wide thus need less frequent gear shifts.

Ride Quality & Handlingess

Excelent, i have driven the vehicle in all types of roads including the worst type and due to better suspension chances of udercariage hitting aginst the ground barrier are less than swift although swift has higher ground clearance( as previous car was swift).

Final Words:

There seems lot of confusion about the product this may be due to lack of thrust in the area of marketing, but it is a safe product and european product seems obsessed with quality whereas japs product is best balance between price and performance, and may be that is why maruti appeals to so many indians.

 Areas of improvement  

After sale service should be vigorus, and company must try to take regular inputs from owners, and manual provided with fabia is of european version and does not match the indian version as a result  i have personaly some confusion about vehicles service period and some minor questions still in mind about the vehicle utility and features.

 

good style, fuel economy, better ride quality and powerprice relatively on higher side
