Good Sedan - Value for money

 

This is my first car and I have just learnt car driving, I feel very comfortable in driving this car, got confident within one day after owning this car. Its too smooth to drive. I had bought this car for 5,42,500 with Basic Accessories, temp number and insurance. Since VX version of this car was not launced by 24th August, 2011, LX was the top variant by that time, so I missed VX vesion.

Pros:

1. Mileage - I got mileage of 15 kmpl with first 1000 kms ( 10 days) out of which 200 kms I covered with 1st or 2nd gear while learning. The maximum speed I touched was 90 kmpl on NH10 while going to Sirsa from delhi. I feel mileage will increase when I will be more experienced in driving.

2. Spacious: Car is spacious enough for your comfort.

Problems:

1. AC Belt is creating a lot of sound (Chrrrr..) if you switch on the AC within 2 minutes of starting the Car, even after 1st service it was not fully corrected (sound is reduced to some level) by the  Automobile Sterling, Noida.

2. The side strips on door are easily removable, the strip locks were loose at the time of delivery and I had asked the SalesPerson to get is corrected, they just affixed the same using elfy, after 2-3 days the strips again got detached from the doors.

Service from Automobile Sterling, Noida:

I had sent the Car for First free Service, they didnt charge me anything but after delivery of the vehicle to my office, I found following thing which they didnt correct:

1. they used some black material to affix the strips, instead of repairing the locks they are doing some "JUGAAD", which means it will be in same state after some time.

2. The AC Fan Belt is still noisy (Noise reduced to some level), We dont expect such sound from a New Car.

3. The vehicle was not cleaned properly, even I had told the points of dirt to the driver, still these were not cleaned. 

Good Mileage - 15 kmpl with AC onAC Belt creating lot of noise chrrrrrrrrr
