Exterior Box type rear end, but luggage space is jaw dropping. I own a Java brown version and I really have to admit it command attention and I enjoy it immensely. I had an friend who was on the verge of booking a Maruti Swift Desire. After he witnessed what he could get for relatively less sum had purchased a Logan instead.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good and toned, boot space and rear seat leg space is also good.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Excellent on fuel economy, handling and response. I had clocked 23.6 but now it is delivering a steady 22.5. Slightly sluggish till the 3rd gear after which it is a treat to to ride. I have seen comment on the Power Steering being hard, but I differ in this comment. I have also heard that the Bosch Fuel pump incorporated after Jan 2010 which does not match upto the french original, but then again if it has to be service or replaced, better to stay with what is available in the market
Ride Quality & Handling Comfortable and gives a mighty feel good factor. The only problem I have been facing is the differential wear on the rear-left and front-right tyres. But then this can be attibutes to the tyre quality also.
Final Words Best value for money for the segment it serves. My first service was at TVS which was horrible. They did not even touch the vehicle and pocketed the first service slip. Subsequent services have been with ITL Motors and their service has been impeccable till date.
Areas of improvement Clutch is little too hard. For me slight improvement in the packaging would be good for servicability. Recently I had a problem of water in the diesel filter.Access to the filter is limited. There is huge blind spot for the driver. Also the direction of the wiper swaying can be modified. The brake is hydraulic so it u cannot pump it after is engine is switched off. This can be problem when parking on a steep ramp, if we do not know that the vehicle has been braked with the hand brake on and the gear shifted to 1st. I am not sure if there is method to do so.
