Very good car

 

Exterior Clearly best looking car in this class .I was opting for swift & my wife was in fovour of  chevyUVa But when we both saw this car we fell in love with this car because of the stunning looks. we bought this car on 2nd Dec 2009 & have driven 18000km so far without any problem.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior space is comfortable for my family of 5  A/c is powerful & music system is good.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is solid But the pickup is less in lower gears may be due to more weight of the vehicle But in Indian cities we can not accelerate 0-100 in 10sec. so that is not an issue. But on highways  i have driven upto 150km/hr. without any problem .The gearbox is smooth bu some times shifting to 5th gear is tricky. I have got consumption of 20km/L on Pune Banglore highway & abt 15km/L in Kolhapur city.

 

Ride Quality & Handling very good handling at high speeds i can take turns without reducing speed on highways suspensions are the best in this class.

 

Final Words This is one of the best premium hatch. Unfortunately there are so many adverse reviews  published regarding service etc. It scores in all three major areas like Engine, Chassis & suspensions which are contributing factors of any good car.also service at Kolhapur is ok I think lot of hallabulla about service network is created to defame such a wonderful product.

 

Areas of improvement Ground clearance.
