Worst Braking System

Exterior

Poor Front Bonnet Paint, especially Black; Lack of wider colour choice; Very Strong Bumpers

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Average Plastic; Sounds from Front Dashboard on bumpy roads[Plastic components are loosely fitted and cannot be tightened]; Never imagine comfort with 3 rd passenger in rear sitting; Average boot space; Tough for people with Back Aches & Neck Aches; Discomfort for 5.10" above tall people sitting in rear-specifically for people with larger Knees.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Solid Engine, Very Good Decceleration; No Nonsense engine performance; Poor fuel economy[100% AC on tighter traffic roads yields only ~ 10 KMPL, but reletively low medium traffic streets yield ~ 12-13 KMPL; Engine Idle/Neutral Fuel Consumption is abnormally high; Gearbox is near perfect-but still you need to get used to it especiaslly moving between 5 to 4th or 3rd seems stiff;

Ride Quality & Handling

Superb Ride quality for driver and his front companion; Below average for rear passengers; Doors make huge sound when closed; When in 3rd Gear you notice Window vibrations; *****Poor brakes when in 2nd to 5th Gears specifically when you Decellerate, sometimes brakes Jam and infact you cannot apply brakes as the Pedal looks like jammed. This issue is both when AC is On/OFF. Poor braking on wet roads. No guarantee of car stopping even when you are under 20 KM speed.

Final Words

Please donot RISK your Life with this Car because of Extremely Poor Brake handling; 100% UNFIT for Highways because of Btrakes Issue. But then try to apply/release Brakes 3 times in succession to control the car, and thats the only way. ABS is of course a choice.,

Areas of improvement  

Power Steering though hydraulic can be more smoother. " Hello Chevy/GM" change Braking Components/System. My Dear under 4 lakh Budget Buyers, either stick to Alto or squeeze a little more and Graduate to i10 Magna or 1.2 Magna.

I Own a 2009 Novermer LT Model, and this is my 8th car change after Maruti 800[2]/Zen[2]/Fiat Padmini[1]/Ambassador Mark 4[2].
