    DRIVING:
    Few thousand kilometers

    Exterior

     Good appearnce of the car with its classical look which is striking.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

     Good interior with sufficient leg space. Sear level is low, so that getting in and out is difficult. The driver feels as if he is at a lower level.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

    Good engine performanceso far. But the A/C break down at 50,000 km! Break pads lasts for 20, 000 km! Timer belt last for 70, 000 km! The spares are costliest!

     Ride Quality & Handling

    Good ride quality. Handling is tough as the pedals are stiff enough to cause leg pain, and the steering is also tough.

    Final Words

    Phased out model sold in India. Service not available for past many months. Car has to be kept in garage because of frequent major breakdowns. Spares at highest cost. Company supports the dealer and not the customer.

    Areas of improvement  

     Unlikely to improve.

     

    Overall look is good, performance is goodMaintanance cost very high, breakdown frequent
