Review after completing 50K

Hi All,

iam writing this review after personally driving the car for 25 thousand kilometer in Bangalore and outstations like Mysore,ooty,coorg and Goa.

I bought this used car when it had completed 27k kilometers and this coverage was done in 15 months.

However it was mantained in mint condition.So first impression when you see the car it looks solid and well built and small.However the space and boot are highest in the segment and i can vouch my life for it comparing it to punto and i20.Interiors are classy and does look like a posh sedan look.

Far superior than Swift  and punto and cannot compare it with i20 has have not seen the interiors properly of the i20,

Gauge is of the metal is rock solid and you feel like sitting in a tank when close the doors when u compare it with wagonr,swift and i20.however swift and i20 are far better than wagonr but it comes in diffrent segment altogether .

Engine performance is very good and is responsive ,...however the rpm should be mantained and proper shifting of gears ...you have shift to lower gears as u slow down .however in swift u can clear in 3 rd gear while in fabia u have come down to 2 nd gear...but once u are above thrid..the engine rips as press the accelartion and you can touch 120 km in 20 seconds practically speaking ....and it glides at this speed at 120 km per hr with wondowns closed and AC on u do not feel u are travelling at that great spped...once u break u releaize u were at that high speed.the car is rock steady even at 140 km per hr but tend feel slighit vibration that is very very negibile and more ompartanly u fele safe even at that high speed...we have over taken scropios and Swift on high ways with relative ease .to mention scrpio is unstable after 100 km per hr vehicles tends to shake because of its aero dynamics.....Swift can be close comettior to race past u but the car will not let u down in case u intend to go past and you the skill.

 

Mileage:

13 km in bangalore traffic (AC on )..i travel from banskari to mahadevpura via silk board ....bellandur and BTm ...uu can imagine the traffic...it mighit give 1 kilometer more without AC ..however i prefer with AC because when u close the windows and drive with AC on and soft music it pleaseure rather than the noise outside.

Highways:16 with AC has given me 17 km sometimes...but average on a highway is 16 to 15.5 on worst roads respectively....

Power steering is like very responsive and gear box is top notch it glides like knife in the butter ..no other car has this smoothness .....

 

Go for it and stand out in crowd

 

Service cost:

the servicining is for every 15 k .....which like other cars is for every 5k or 10 k......

cost after 15k  would be 8 to 9 k

why:

4000 engine oil (they put shell helix)--4 to 5 litres ..and other minor repairs with replacement...but this would not be there for first 2 years .....

Average cost for servcing after 15k without oil change 3.5 k to 4 k with minor replacements..just servicing without oil change and minor replacements...2k

 

As i travel with 100 % Ac because traffic noise and dust and pollution Ac becomes to be not so effective after 10 k ....but after service it quite normal...

 

Go for it and stand out in the crowd...you will not regret and u will enjoy the drive
