Exterior
Versa with make up, Good Body Graphics, Clear Headlights looks good and Bumpers are of good quality.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)
Dashboard - Reasonably good plastic quality, well position gear but would loved to have a hand rest for the gear. Height feels good while driving. Electronic Trip meter gives in an added advantage and for a car worth 3.5 on road this is a luxury item. Front seats are comfortable but would prefer to change the rear seats to Bucket seats as it feels more like benches which reminf me of my old school bus. A/c is effective. Front seats support till the end of the thigh which is good for long drives where you do not strain your leg.Baby seats can be added after the rear seat.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox
Smooth Engine, 1169CC, shoots out a smooth Drive, No need of Power Steering as the car is very maneuverable, Fuel economy as told by Sales Rep of Maruti was 17km/lt but my assumption that with a/c on it would belt out 1km/lt with economic driving.
Gear Box is smooth and well position although As I had commented a hand rest would have been an added advantage but anyway it can be installed after buying the car.
Ride Quality & Handling
For long drive rear seats would not be comfortable but front seats have all the comfort that you would look for.
Rear seats would make you feel the road if its bumpy but not as much as Omni.
Takes curves perfectly but am sceptical of speeding above 80 -100 km/hr as the shape would not permit the CG to hold on to the car if sudden turn needs to be taken even at 60 km/hr so dont take risk with high speed in this car.
Car does not sway and even though there is no power steering , the car steers as per the command of the steering which feels good and is responsive.
Final Words
Full value for money.
If you can spend another 30,000 bucks, change the rear seat into something more comfortable or bucket seats.
Areas of improvement
As told earlier, rear seats.
