A good car

A good car is a good car I like it. It is a budget car. If you have less money then you go for this car person car. Also available. White and black color is good. It is better than Alto

Very good family car

The car is big, has an ugly grey interior but rides like a dream.The 1.2 engine is nice but not very friendly to racing away. The 1st gear is worthless above 5kmph &amp; 2nd gear is worthless standing still. So in the stop-start traffic, the gears need a lot of work unless you want to listen to the engine wail in 1st gear while crawling. <br>However, it does have enough grunt to take the highways in 80-100kmph, beyond which the tyre noise is irritating. At 80-90 kmph, the engine doesn't make any sound.<br>The ride continues to be the best part of the car. The a/c is good but drains a lot of power, esp in lower gears. The blower is silent for the 1st two speeds &amp; noisy after that. But I guess thats pretty standard and the 2nd speed is good enough.<br><br>All my friends/family/relatives who have sat in the car have loved the space inside. Its as big as any of the sedans out there from the inside &amp; even with the driver seat pushed back completely, the rear leg-room is just about adequate.<br><br>The mileage in the initial period was a poor 8-8.5 kmpl with 50% a/c usage. Quite below my expectations. But it was also used only in mumbai's peak traffic or for short 2-km runs. So I'll give the new engine the benefit of the doubt.<br><br>Once they did the 1000km checkup &amp; removed some sort of "speed-limit" i've taken it on the highway &amp; done a few hundred kilometers. I've got around 12.5 kmpl with 70% ac usage with half in the city &amp; half on the pune expressway. So I guess its not such a heavy drinker when given the freedom to rev.<br><br><b>Verdict</b><br>I'll give the u-va 8/10 for my requirements. Its spacious, comfortable &amp; reasonably economical. I'm not a rally driver &amp; like to drive smoothly without an adrenaline rush. The car keeps me calm.<br>very spacious & comfortable, good looks1st gear selection, grey interiors
