Exterior Attractive and catchy. Even though the presence on road is for last 3 years, still it is able to attract the attention of the crowd.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) I have the top end version i.e. LX which comes with HVAC, front power windows and fog lamps. All the controls are conveniently placed, except the power window switch. Had it been placed on the doors, would have been much better.
The car is quite spacious and comfortable on both front and rear seat. Space is enough for four adults. Lacks boot space.
It does not have power steering, but since the engine is placed on the rear end, power assist is not required.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I have done around 3100 kms in last 2 months. A good responsive engine with excellent pickup. It is easily giving me 20+ kmpl in the city and 23+ kmpl on the highway with AC.
People who say the they get 14 or 15 or 16 kmpl, I feel either they are driving with their foot on the clutch paddle or they are paying for a liter of petrol and getting just 800 ml, or they are not able to calculate it.😝
Yes obviously there is a compromise with the top end performance as compared to even its nearest competitor i.e. Maruti 800, but see the size of the engine as well with just 2 cylinder, 625 cc and 38 bhp, whereas Maruti 800 has a 3 cylinder, 796cc and 40 bhp.
Still I was able to cruise it continuously between 80-90 kmph on Delhi - Agra highway, been to Agra and back.
What else does someone expect for a car with this price tag.
Ride Quality & Handling In short: VERY GOOD.
Final Words I faced minor problems with the malfunction indicator light in the beginning, but it was solved. Other thing is that I personally feel the car is not meant for first timers or those who have just learnt driving. The machine is delicate. Over all this is what I call value for money.
Areas of Improvement A little to be worked upon electricals and interior finish.
Compact, Great Fuel Economy, AC (Keeping in mind the size of the car), Good for city driving.No Boot space, No Glovebox, Small Fuel Tank, Problem with the electricals.
