Riding experience: Definitely a driver's car...a segment above in terms of driving experience. Long drives are not tiring. The rear seats too are quite comfortable contrary to what many portal reviews said.
Details about looks, performance etc: Looks are a personal preference. To me it's got a great stance with sporty looks.
Servicing and maintenance: Driven 7500 kms till now with only 1st free service done...and that was the only time service station visit was required. No service expense as yet, except washing. Will see what happens at 10K km.
Pros and Cons: Pros - Fun to drive, good power (at right RPM), revvs very sporty sound (if you like it), excellent handling & braking, suspension is good even on very bad roads, hill-climb assist works, effective climate control, SYNC3 experience is very good
Cons - some tyre noise, interior plastic good but creaky fitment at some places, below average headlights, a little notchy gearshift, 12 kmpl petrol mileage in city (if you expect more), may feel powerless at <1000rpm, no seat-covers due to six airbags
