    DRIVING:
    Its my mate since ages
    As soon as I bought it I started using it for highway long drives. Strictly followed their input to keep engine under 2k rpm till odometer completing 3k kms. Then continued for regular use and long drives. I was surprised by it's stability and performance in long drives. Couldn't even feel it was at 120 till that irritated warning noise started to come. Got used to it. Based on my experience I feel it's stable upto max 170. However it can reach upto 200 on 5th gear and upto 192 if switched to 6th gear. It has another face of efficient car. Can easily get mileage above 20kmpl on long drives if maintain speed under 110 and proper gear shifting. Be careful and ask for clear quote while giving for 1st year service onwards, they add unnecessary expenses. As per quote it should be around 7k but somehow I got cheated by 4k more. Was too late i got to know. Coming to cons We have to compromise the low mileage of 8- 12kmpl in city drive at current petrol costs. To be frank, there is lot of plastic noise coming from front doors when driving in roads with potholes. Stock lighting is not good, specifically the high beam is not good at all. It has to be upgraded. Not suitable for family with elders rear seating and space is low. It's suitable for bachelors. And also for family of 2 with kids maybe As pros, enjoy the power, it's a monster at low gears. It would frighten people out there. Never ever give the car to a newly/learning driving person. I'm serious about it. I am not new to seeing power. My old car was 2013 Rapid TDI 1.6 with 250Nm torque but test drive of this car scared myself. I never expected such a high pickup from a tiny 999cc petrol engine. In my car I have seen it reaches 0 - 100 in 8.9 seconds.
