This car is a great car; I have spent 1 month with this car and its simply a pleasing great car. 

Few of the positives that i recall:

1. Stylish car when compared with the other sedans available in the market.

2. Good/gentle pickup and smooth driving.

3. Cool car; don't find it disturbing under any circumstances.

4. Very spacious/stylish interiors.

5. Very very good on nice road.

6. Fully loaded with niche accessories like reverse parking camera etc.

Few of the negatives: (in detail as this is very important for new buyers)

1. As everybody mentions, when are bumpy roads, if you are speed is decent (40KMs); you happened to hit the car frame. The sound is annoying as though it hit the car frame. Bangalore roads are pretty bad in some places, and I happened to get this hit 3-4 times so far in an avg speed between (25-45). However, this is nothing too worriable if you are careful with bad roads

2. Next: Bluetooth: the bluetooth goes off when you switch on the engine (it doesn't stop when you switch off the engine though). In bangalore you tend to do this on every other signals ;) In case you have a call connected via bluetooth you should not turn off the engine otherwise you call gets disconnected from the bluetooth when you turn on. This is kind of annoying.

Also it takes wild time to get connected (about a minute).

3. Music system: I would say, its a new wine in old bottle. This doesn't recognise the iPod/iPhones when connected directly via the USB. The car comes with a external card that kind of helps connecting the iphone/ipod without any issues however this is not going to help if you have a iPhone 5 or later. The same issue as of point 2 for the music via bluetooth. once the engine is turned on during the signal; it begins to play from the beginning of hte player; no matter which song you were in.

Basically I feel bluetooth feature in this car is for namesake. I think this will not be a issue if you are not turning off the engine (long drives this is not an issue).

4. Mileage: I get about 12kpl (diesel car) (please dont mistake this point; the peak hours i use the car, i move at a spead of 5-15 for 45% of the time). So I dont think my review should be considered in terms of mileage. To give a better idea, I have driven 800kms so far and my avg speed so far is 16.

5. Seat: The color of the seat forces you to put a leather seat or any cover on top of it. So be prepared to spend on that.

After all these issues, I would still rate this car good (hopeful to fix all these issues in the upcoming versions).
