Compact Beauty with Brawns

The buying experience was a breeze. The dealer was courteous and sales agent seemed to know the car well. Got a good deal on the Car. The Car is power packed with a punchy engine which is further enhanced by a sports mode. The gear shifts are barely perceptible, the transmission does an intelligent job of reading the drivers mind as to when the driver wants to accelerated quickly. The paddle shifts give additional control in case you want to take it in your own hands. The car is packed to the brim with features. Especially worth mentioning are the safety features - it is the only car with Automatic transmission with 6 airbags in this price range (apart from the yaris which is a Sedan). Plus it has cruise control (works like a charm), brake assist, traction control and of course ABS. The seat belts come with pretentioners too. Bells and whistles like auto head lamps, auto wipers are useful additions. The handling of the car is very good and you feel in control of the car at high speeds too. About the cons, there are some. The fuel economy could be better. In city, I get around 7.5-8 km/l and on the highway it climbs to 10.5-11 km/l. It sorely misses a hand rest on the left side of the driver (There is one but its so further back that it is useless). All in all a great car.
