1. Buying experienced was good.
2. Awesome driving experienced, great handling, road grip. I also drive Creta BS6 through hilly areas in Meghalaya around 1000kms and recently I went to Raipur from Guwahati and drive my Kicks around 3500 kms, but I feel Kicks handling, suspension and drivability is better than Creta.
3. No doubt Kicks is a funky looking SUV presently available in Indian market. I really like it's side profile, bigger than is rivals. As far as performance is concerned I feel Kicks really made for highways and long tours. Good hilly performance.
4. Service and Maintenance cost is reasonable.
5. Pros: Handling, Drivability, high-speed stability, cornering ability, perfectly tuned suspension, diesel engine refinement, build quality, safety, cabin quality, music system is also good, Ac glove box, really good AC, class leading GC of 210mm
Cons: Some interior ergonomic issues, no cup holders in front, music controls are behind the steering wheel.
Verdict: If You love highway driving, long tours, drivability, stability, above some unnecessary features than you should definitely consider this vehicle above it's rivals.
