The Best Car in this Segment at a Best Price

 

I bought the 1.6VTVT petrol 2 weeks back and my views are as below.

Exterior Everyone knows that this is a beautiful looking car, atleast for now since there are not many around. The overall physical dynamics are totally futuristic with propotional length, width and height. The styling is way far better than any of the other cars in this segment.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) One of the best interiors ever seen in any of the modern cars in this segment and even in the higher ones. Gives you the feel of a 12-15lac car at just under 10lac. The features are non comparable with any of the cars and it has everything. You name it its here. You dont feel anything has been left out. I hate hond city for not giving a simple climate control which is a standard for this segment. Seats are comfortable but nothing great about them. Headroom maybe less for some due to the fluidic styling but it is sufficient for almost all. Its totally eye candy with fine detailing everywhere.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox As smooth as a butter, you dont even come to know when the engine is idling. It is smooth in all gears and you only hear the sweet gowl of the engine after 3k rpm which is also plesent to the ears. The fuel average as of my new car at just 300 odd kms is 9.5 in the city with starts and stops, but on a free way it shows 14 kmpl. The gearbox is smooth and precise, but sometimes I mistakenly put it in 3rd gear instead of 1st, I will get over it in sometime. 

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is soft which is good for city conditions and is not bad as other people suggest. It feels luxurious to have a soft suspension. Cornering is also not bad as some people complaint. The steering is light and good, it gives you the feel of driving in a videogame. I found it a bit smaller in diameter than other cars. Which is why you need to get used to it for precision handling. But I got used to it in just a few days. Back seats are just about ok, due to the low seating. Center seat has a very hard back due to the the rear center armrest. Its a 4 peoples car as the center people can only sustain a few kms and definetly not a few hours. Front bumber ground clearance is low as much as 2 inches as my swift which makes it vurnable to large speed breakers at hight speed. A little care can overcome this problem. There was a noticable humming tyre noise for a rear passangers on some roads as the copue design moves all the rumbling sounds to the back.

Final Words As for the people who complaint for this car I have only one sentence "If you dont know how to dance you complaint about the uneveness of the floor" A good driver just loves anything he drives. Its a cool car and a well thought design with all the unique features.

Areas of improvement Front ground clearance, rear passanger hard center seat, rear passenger tyre rumbling noise. Thats it, I could only find these things in 2 weeks.
