Excellent Performance vehicle but could have been

 

After doing lot of research I owned one i20 Asta CRDI. Now I've crossed more than 6000 Kms. Eventhough, I liked performance of Punto 90 bhp, decided to go for i20 due to better resale value and service network

Exterior I'll rate this as better than Swift and Punto. Will consider swift slightly old aged, even though looks are person dependent.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Looks classy and feels rich. Better than punto or swift. Looks very modern and can compete with any luxury car.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox One of the best in its class. Will call this an yamaha RX 100 (if someone has driven this legend of 80's) among cars in 3L to 10L category..

After 2000 rpm, engine gives lots of pick up. I've touches 170 kmph and still vehicle was stable. plain road acceleration is excellent and can beat any SUV on highways. Will not feel like driving diesel car.

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent ride quality and safety features on good roads. 4 wheel disc with ABS,EBD and airbags gives confidence to the driver.

Final Words If you are looking at performance and not bothered much about mileage and mostly drive on good roads and can afford to spend slightly more for performance.. then this is the car for you.

Areas of improvement The biggest drawback which i'll tell is its poor ground clearance. In a moderately bad road you will have every chance of lower bumper getting scratches.

Further suspension also is slightly soft which can unsettle the car in slightly bad road. But on good roads this car rules.
