    Nice car if the front shock absorbers are changed.

    Few hundred kilometers

    Exterior

     Love the looks. Really sleek and high end. paint job is great.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

    Other than poor lateral stability for rear passengers it is very comfortable. Probably the only car that seats 3 adults comfortably with lots of legroom even for the middle passenger. 

    They have cut some corners, for eg. even the VX-D which is the highest model has manually adjustable side view mirrors. The speedometer and rpm meter are refreshingly new. The digital gauge is a joke if you compare it to the VW Vento or Tata Manza.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

     The engine is as smooth as a diesel can get, fuel economy is at 16km/l after having driven 600km. Hoping it willl hit the 20's soon....

    Ride Quality & Handling

    On really smooth tar roads it is a woderful vehicle to drive. On concrete especially rough roads it is a nightmare a all the bumps get transferred.

     

    Final Words

     If I can see the mileage going into the 20's and the front shock absorbers improving the it is a lovely car...

    Areas of improvement  

    Front shock absorbers just have to be improved or changed, they transfer every bump straight to you. Gear shift could be smoother.   

     

    Looks, space-3 adults on the back seat comfortably, boot is enormous. Getting 16km/l driven 600kmWorst are the front shock absorbers, makes a thud sound over all speed breakers.
