    DRIVING:
    Few hundred kilometers

    Exterior Can't be better.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Back middle seat not good. The front deck and back deck are not the best.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is very smooth, fuel economy not yet tested but seems ok (driven on 600 km so far). Gear box is not smooth. Definite scope to improve. Ride Quality & Handling. Very easy to handle. excellent for city drive. amazing pickup.

    Final Words  Overall a great car. I compared with Vento, Altis and City. It is easily the easiest to handle (even better than Altis). Best among the four in following: Turning radius is a pleasure. Pickup and braking is the highlight of this car. Braking from high speeds leaves no discomfort on rear seats. Most silent engine among diesel versions.

    Two major problems: The front and rear decks are both slanting upwards (can't understand why??), marginally reducing visibility on both sides. Two, the driver usability in inferior to Japanese cars by a distance. Gear box is just ok, while the armrest-handbrake-gearstick alignment is not perfect at all.

    Overall, I'd say it is easily the best car among the four. Did not compare with Verna as it has a 6 month waiting and does not look attractive to begin with.

    Areas of improvement  NA.

    Excellent comfort, unbelievable manouvreability in cityGear Box not smooth, essential accessories missing, alternates difficult to find
