A-star is on the road

I have been driving this car since few months now and have done a few thousand kms. The longest drive was from Mumbai to Bharuch, approximately 700 kms round trip. The car is commendable in performace and clearly beats some of the powerful sedans in pickup and speed. Overall, it's a great small car for city driving as well as ocassional weekend breaks. However, due to the small boot size, carrying large suitcases is not advisable.

Another area where the car scores is its interiors. The forward coming dashboard looks sporty and the integrated stereo CD player delivers great sound. The highlight of the car is Maruti's K10B engine (Kappa ka Baap). Being a three-cylinder engine, this one surely beats some of the four-cylinder engines on road. Maruti has also rolled in safety features such as Airbags and ABS, that even Toyota Innova does not provide at 10 lakhs.
