Exterior Black looks superb and blends in with the B and C pillars. Attracts quite a bit of attention on road. Superb build quality all round. The size is a real bonus in Bangalore traffic. I've been able to park in tight spaces.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The front seats are best. Space management is clever for a car of this size. The dashboard and features are typical European - well thought out with high quality materials. The driver's seat gives a command view of the traffic and lends that feeling of control. The 6 airbags and all the safety features are re-assuring.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is very good. A minor irritant is the tendency to stall at low revs. All in all considering the weight of the car, a 160 HP engine would have been the icing on the cake. Performance is very good along with fuel economy. Very easy to drive and the gearing is a pleasure with short throws.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Build quality is awesome and translates into a sure-footed performance on road. Handling is pretty good though I have yet to test its stability at high speeds.

 

Final Words A quality package - looks unique and is a head turner particularly in black.

 

Areas of improvement The tendency to stall at low revs. I feel the floor colour could have been a lighter shade. The fact that the accelerator is attached to the floor is a minor irritant as I couldnt find rubber mats which can factor this in. A sunroof would have been the icing on the cake.
