Starting with the buying experience, it was more of a breeze rather than much of to and from dealer. All queries were handled easily. Driving has been a pleasure 100km at 2500 rpm. So calm and responsive engine, I couldn't hear a slight sound from it. Though rubber is noisy per say. It has the capability to cruise to limits without a sweat. People call the design Katana inspired, but I felt it to be more of luxury inspired. This one is 4th car I have owned but yes nothing beats this to any point. Huge 506 liter boot space is unbeatable. It gulps 2 large bags easily and has the capacity for small bags. My daughter has the playground open in the back seat. Space between the seats gives the ample cozy feeling to the members.

Those lovely rotary nobs for AC to kill for and the lighting effect is oh.

Cons:
Not so good low beam projectors.
Low slung, hits speed breakers and carters on the well built roads.
Limited colors to choose from. Black is some color that would be hot cake.
