The car is a pleasure to drive. This is my first automatic car and I'm loving the experience. Have driven over 1500 KM on highways and have not really missed manual transmission so far. The power and manoeuvre is really good. I recently had a chance to drive an automatic MG AstorI(my friend's car) and I prefer the Hyryder when it comes to driving and comfort. Really love the look of the car... certainly looks stunning. The interiors are also looking premium and have a decent lineup of features.
Cons: The steering could have been better. It feels tight sometimes. The claimed fuel economy is 27 but I got only 22 so far after driving around 2500 KM. Headroom is a problem for those who are tall. Absolutely no problem for me (I'm 5'7") and my family. Boot space is a compromise for this segment.
Overall, loving every bit about my car and enjoying my ride.
