I took delivery of this car on 1st Sep. 13 from JMD Auto Thane & so far driven 900 Kms..

Exterior I realised the quality of exterior when I attempted to open the door for the first time to sit on driver's seat. It is so heavy  that for a moment I thought as if I am opening some bank's locker. The bonnet is also very heavy to lift. The gauge thickness shows the obvious safety of the occupant. You cannot compare this car with any of its filmsy Japanese, South korean or American counterpart of same segment.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) This is hatchback car only for name sake giving total comfort of Sedan.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox  Initially I drove this car in 2nd & 3rd gear in city traffic of Thane which yielded  average of 8Km\lit. Later I had a long drive on Highways driven on top gear at 80Km/hour  which gave me amazing milage of 21 Km\lit. The gear shifting is very smooth.

Ride Quality & Handling It is  truly European car. You can realise the power of turbo when throttle is pressed slightly. It just keeps on gliding on good roads & driving is really effortless. You are in different world when windows are shut & AC is put on.

Final Words I decided to take this car inspite of reading so many adverse reviews & even knowing that this car is coming to an end in India. I  donot think that my decesion is wrong. It would not be an exaggeration if I say that this is poor man's Mercedes.

Areas of improvement Too early to comment.
