A perfect compact car for first time buyers

Exterior Without a thought, its the most stylish looking car in its category, especially appealing to the younger crowd.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors have an upmarket feel about them, the 2 tone interiors offer a refreshing change from those seen in the Alto. While front legroom seems to be ok, rear legroom as well as shoulder room seems to be deficient. 3 adults would be a tight squeeze at the back. Boot space seems good enough for a car of these dimensions.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox While quite manageable for drives within the city, overtaking other vehicles is an issue. The engine lacks the grunt & power to effortlessly overtake while driving in the 4th gear. There is a lot of jerkiness experienced while shifting up from 1st to 2nd gear, which the according to the service centre guys is an inherent problem with 800 cc engines. 

Ride Quality & Handling Due to the tiny 12 inch wheels on D-lite+ variant, the bumps & potholes on the road are easily felt. Quite nimble while tackling corners & the power steering is very responsive, thereby resulting in ease of parking in tight spaces as well.

Final Words Its a perfect compact car for any first time buyer, looking to drive mainly in the city itself, well suited for a small family of a couple & 2 kids. 

Areas of improvement The engine could have packed in some extra punch, rear legroom needs to be improved. I feel both the driver & passenger side ORVMs should be offered as standard fitment on all cars.
