Do not Buy this Car, cos its not a keeper

 

Exterior ITs a good looking car but not an eye turner even though there are not too many on the road.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The Seats are a nightmare, when i bought it i did not realise that the base 2 models have a one piece seat in the front which is a little too high totally blocking the view from the back seat making the ones seated in the back feel blinded and that also affects the flow of ac air as it gets cold in the front but back is not chilled.The back seat is too thin and low so no neck or thigh support for rear seated. ** Gear box is not smooth and gives a plasic feel which would break if handeled roughly. All Showrooms have top model for test drive with abbs but the base models without it are not good at breaking and above all the engine performs well i have driven it for 1400 KM and its giving me 13.9 Average, and the engine is smooth though makes noise like a deisel engine if the car is not moving and has viberation which you can feel inside the car. I have driven the car to speed around 120 but at that speed the stearing and engine is so smooth that you dont want to zig zag the car and just drive it straight, its frightening to drive the car at above 80 as it feels like its sliding over the road or gliding too smoothly on the surface and not sticking to it. Dont buy it you will want to sell it of right away.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Gear box is noisy and gives a cheap feeling. Engine has good power specially at 3rd gear and above but if you have the ac on and the car is not moving the sound from under the hood is that of a diesel engine. theengine has idel viberation. Mielage is good i have driven it for 1400 km and is giving me 13.9 and increasing. It is with ac on at all times mix driving conditions of highway and city. I think mileage will increase once i have the first service done.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Suspension is strong so pot holes are not a problem but the car has a little roll, you wont enjoy turns on sreeds in excess of 60 km.

 

Final Words Please dont buy this car until and unless you like to change cars frequently.

 

Areas of improvement XE model interiors are plain black, not at all apealing, the car comes with no wiring so having a stereo fitted means it would require the whole car to be opened up and wrining to be done, you also need to get the central locking done which comes in the xl model only. the seat cover are cheap thin plain black fabric and the seat in the seats in the base 2 models are very cheap and not good to ride.
