    DRIVING:
    Few hundred kilometers

     

    Exterior Satisfactory from sides and front, looks very ugly from rear, as far as desisgned is concerned- its not better than other cars in the segment.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) FEATURES- Rear door speakers cannot be fitted(they are facing serious electronics problem after fixing rear door speakers as advised by Jia Auto Kolkata and Skoda has to to come-up/advise on this issue till then all Elegance models have to wait for rear speakers), sound quality not satisfactory, rear seats has got less thigh support(i think to show that Fabia has got more leg room).

    If u park the car for 4=5 days with hand brake on, brake shoe gets jammed very often and u cannot drive the car,the wheel gets jammed AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF GERMAN ENGINEERING, REAR SEATS ARE NOT 60:40 FOLDABLE.

    REAR WASHER/DEFOGGER NOT FITTED EVEN IN TOP VERSIONS

    INTERIOR IS NOT VERY EXCITING-IF U COMPARE WITH i20 ASTA, I THINK ITS ONLY UPTO 50% OF THAT, ONLY FIVE BASIC COLORS AVAILABLE: RED, WHITE, BLACK, SILVER AND CAPPUCINO BEIGE, MUSIC SYSTEM GAS GOT NO USB PORT,NO BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox REVERSE GEAR IS NOT USER FRIENDLY, FUEL ECONOMY- VERY BAD, Ride Quality & Handling SATISFACTORY.

    Final Words U CANNOT FIT MOST OF THE ACCESSORIES- THE EXCUSE IS WARRANTY WILL NOT BE VALID. REAR SPEAKER CANNOT BE FITTED,REMOTE LOCKING SYSTEM CANNOT BE FITTED(IN CLASSIC AND AMBIENTE MODELS). IF U COMPARE WITH OTHER CARS LIKE- HYUNDAI i20 ASTA, FIAT PUNTO TOP MODEL PETROL- FABIA IS NOWHERE.

    Areas of improvement EXTERIOR NEEDS TO IMPROVED A LOT, MORE COLOR VARIANTS ARE REQUIRED, THE COLOR OF EXTERIOR IS JUST MAT FINISH-NOT GLOSSY-EVEN MARUTI CARS ARE HAVING BETTER GLOSS, DOOR LOCKS HAS GOT NO M,ANUAL LOCKING FROM INSIDE(LIKE HAVE IN MARUTI AND HYUNDAI MODELS)- THIS IS REQ FOR SAFETY IF U CARRY KIDS, FUEL ECONOMY NEEDS TO BE IMPROVED, REAR SPEAKERS NOT FITTED IN TOP VARIANT ALSO=MOREOVER IT CANNOT BE FITTED - SOUND QUALITY NOT IMPRESSIVE, MUSIC SYSTEM NOT FITTED WITH USB PORT AND BLUETOOTH.

    German engineering needs to be more German.

    BOOT SPACE,LOOK FROM FORWARDUGLY LOOK FROM REAR,POOR FUEL ECONOMY
