Exterior : OK
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): REAR SPACE CRAMPED. BIGGEST PAIN IS THE BODY NOISE / DOOR RATTLING / CREAKING NOISE OF A BULKY PLASTIC DASHBOARD AND ALTERNATOR WHINING.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: ENGINE PERFORMANCE IS VERY GOOD BUT INJECTORS VULNERABLE TO SLIGHTEST OF ADULTERATED FUEL. TEND TO GET NOISY AND ROUGH. GEAR SHIFT IS AVERAGE. VEHICLE TENDS TO OVER STEER AT HIGH SPEED.
ENGINES GETS NOISY ON SYNTHETIC OIL - ( PRONOUNCED HLA SOUND). SO USE MINERAL LUBE.
FUEL EFFICIENCY IS GREAT. RESPONDS NICELY ON REPLACING STOCK FILTER WITH K&N. AS THE ENGINE IS DETUNED, PERFORMANCE CAN BE UPGRADED BY RE MAPPING AND INSTALLING DEVICES.
Ride Quality & Handling: ACCELERATIONIS GOOD. TC SPOOLS IN TREMENDOUS POWER. DOESNT PERFROM WELL ON ROUGH ROAD AT ALL. LOOSES GRIP ON HIGH SPEED - 140 + .. OVER STEER IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. PECULIAR COMMON RAIL SOUND CONTINUES ON CONSTANT RPM. ( PINGING OR KNOCKING AS MECHANICS CALL)
Final Words VALUE FOR MONEY. GOOD AS A ENTRY LEVEL SEDAN ONLY WITH VERY BASIC FEATURES.
Areas of improvement : BODY NOISE - DOOR RATTLING / CREAKING NOISE OF DASHBOARD - TOO MUCH OF PLASTIC / WHEEL WELL SHALLOW FOR ACCOMODATING RADIALS - 195 MM TYRES. ALTERNATOR WHEENING. /
Peppy & refined engine. TC kicks up good power. Injectors sensitive to adulterated fuel.BODY NOISE / RATTLING TAKES AWAY THE PLEASURE OF DRIVING
