Good things about the car:
> Really handsome, especially the rear quarter and the divine C pillar slope, the City looks ugly in comparison with its wedges and curves
> Excellent performance, great pick-up, you don't feel the engine is pushing 1200 kgs, bit noisy but really smooth engine
> High on ride comfort and takes typical Indian roads on its stride, thanks to segment best wheel size and tubeless tires
> Great road holding, cornering and braking, the ABS and EBD are superb
> Beautifully integrated audio system and the entire dashboard looks really smart
A few things I didn't want to write about:
> There is a clutch problem, you feel a judder/vibration when you let in the clutch at low RPM, and it is getting more pronounced by the day. Maruti has not been able to solve this during the first service (is Maruti listening?)
> Indicators and milometer not properly visible when steering is in the lower position
> Sound level of indicator audio very low, if the indicator doesn't stop after you have taken a turn, you have no way of knowing that the indicator is still on as you can't hear the tick tick. Neither can you see the flashers as the steering blocks the view. So as far as the indicators are concerned, you are deaf and blind
> Almost nil rear visibility, reversing is a nightmare
A HIGHLY RECOMMENDED CAR FOR PEOPLE WHO REALLY LOVE CARS AND CARE ABOUT HOW THEY LOOK AND PERFORM. NOT FOR PEOPLE WHO LOOK ONLY FOR MILEAGE AND HOW MANY PEOPLE THEY CAN CRAM IN OR ARE FASCINATED BY BRAND NAMES. A REALLY SPORTY AND HANDSOME SEDAN YOU WOULD BE PROUD OF PROVIDED MARUTI SOLVES THE CLUTCH PROBLEM.Handsome car, great driving position and view, excellent pick-up and mid range, feature packedSmall defects that have to be ironed out, seems there is a clutch problem
