    Value for Money

    PURCHASE:
    Not Purchased

    DRIVING:
    Did a short drive once

    Exterior

    FAIR BUT LOWER EDGES MATT FINISHED...WILL COLLECT DIRT EASILY. WILL BE DIFFICULT TO WIPE OFF. NO SIDE RUBBER PROTECTION ON BODY NOR ON BUMPERS.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

    SPACE IS CRAMPED UP .... PRACTICALLY NO SPACE FOR BACK SEAT SITTERS LEGS. BACK WINDOW OPEN HALF WAY DOWN ONLY. REAR VIEW MIRROR IS MANUAL. A/C VENTS ABSENT IN REAR. SPARE WHEEL IS 14" WHILE OTHERS R 15" WILL BE DIFICULT TO DRIVE, IF PUNTURE REPAIRER NOT HANDY. THE SPANNER AND JACK LIE LOOSE ON SPARE AND R SHAKY EVEN IN STILL CAR....WILL ADD TO NOISE IN RUNNING MODE. THEY R NOT EVEN IN A COVER !!!

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

    POOR PICK UP...WEAK ENGINE 1.2L BUT 3 CYLINDERS ONLY, DIFFICULTY IN OVERTAKING A LONG VEHICLE eg A BUS & TRUCK. SHAKES VERY MUCH ON STARTING THE ENGINE & WHEN SHUTTING IT. NO CONCRETE MILEAGE GIVEN  CITY/HIGHWAY.

    Ride Quality & Handling

    VERY SHAKY START OF ENGINE .... THE WHOLE CAR SHAKES BADLY. HORN IS NOT UP TO THE RIM OF THE STEERING WHEEL, WILL NEED TO REMOVE HAND FROM WHEEL TO USE HORN.... OK IN EUROPE BUT. IN INDIA IT IS A NECESSITY... AN EMERGENCY ALARM WHICH SHOULD BE VERY HANDY.

    Final Words

    THE PRE SALES SERVICE IS VERY POOR. ARROGANCE VERY MUCH THERE... THINKS THE. CARS WILL SELL AS HOT CAKES.... NO ITS WORD OF MOUTH . THE SALES ENGINEER & THE, DRIVER DID NOT KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE SPECIFICATIONS. EVEN THOSE WRITTEN IN THE CATALOGUE. NO IDEA OF COST OF SPARE PARTS YET !!! INSURANCE DOES NOT COVER RUBBER PARTS & SOME OTHER PARTS FROM THE VERY, START. HAVE TO INSURE THEM SEPERATELY  & PAY EXTRA FOR IT . SO BECOMES NECESSARY TO INSURE WITH THE DEALER ONLY. NO FREE BEES FROM THE COMPANY OR THE DEALER, NOT PUNCUTUAL FOR TEST DRIVE... DID NOT TURN UP ON THE DAY & TIME DECIDED. THEN ON 2ND CALL CAME LATE BUT WERE IN A HURRY.

    Areas of improvement  

    1. PRE SALES EXEC

    2. PRE SALES PRESENTATION & PUNTUALITY

    3. KNOWLEDGE OF SALES EXEC.

    KERB WEIGHT / UN LADEN WEIGHT NOT MENTIONED

    MILELAGE NOT SPECIFIED

    OTHER THINGS POINTED ABOVE.
