Too good

Exterior Its a personal choice, but A STAR is a small and fast car with a nice look almost like a small sports car.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very good space for the driver and front passenger. Seat height adjustment is really helpful for the driver.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox In city with peak traffic and 100% AC on I get a mileage of 13 km/litre. On highways with AC on I get a milegae of 17. Dont understand why people say that we cannot get good mileage in Auto transmissions. Pick up is a bit slow when accelerating from 10kmph to 30kmph, but after 30 or 40 KMPH its zooms fast. There is no doubt about the engine as it has Maruti's super successful K series engine.

Ride Quality & Handling I have driven it around 120 kmph and its absolutely stable and smooth. Small turning radius so very easy to handle.

Final Words Fantastic choice not just for heavy traffic conditions but also for Highways. Mileage is more then expected in terms of Automatic Cars. ASTAR beats i10 and i20 easily beacuse of its low maintenance cost. i10 gives 8-9 km/lt mileage and ASTAR is far better. AC is also very good.

Areas of improvement Bigger boot will be good.
