My 5 years experience with Creta

I have owned a Creta 1.6 SX petrol. Drove it for 5 years and 54000 KM. I would like to share my experience. There is no doubt that this is a car which will thrill you with its pickup and happy feel when you are driving it. Excellent gearbox and shifter, all excellent features. Then you will realise slowly that it has one of the worst blind spots, many accidents happen due to it, I had one and then used to be very careful. ABS of course is defective and can not be improved as per the company, many times you will regret it as the car is swift and so responsive but due to bad ABS accidents happen. The headlights are placed badly, during the rainy season, it get coated with mud very easily and you may need to get down and clean them while on highways. The car antitrust treatment is bad and it starts rusting much faster than you expect. Mine started rusting in less than 3 years. Unfortunately, these things are not covered under warranty and you have to pay to get it fixed. Very frustrating and disheartening. The suspension is also hard and behaves badly at low speeds especially. Finally had to sell it off. I feel, better cars are available in the market at that price, safe if you care at least.
