Good within city limits

Small yet smart car that gives me good comfort.The instrumental panel is nice ,feeling peppy at all the gearshifts,however,the raised bumper could be made shorter so that it would be more comfortable for short drivers like us

864

Good for city ride

After clocking around 22000km,the mileage I get on the highways is 23.45kmpl while in the city ride it consumes about 19kmpl of fuel.Though the nuisance level is good,the gearshifts could have been even better.The interior is good for have a drive with 4 family members however the music quality is not so good

Fuel economy is perfect

I own this car for more than 1 and a half years.Till now,I cannot find any inconvenience with the mileage or comfort.Because the mileage I get on the highways is about 19kmpl with 90% AC and nearly about 15kmpl in the city drive at 55kmph with 75% AC.The areas of improvement could be the front bumper that could be made better atleast to suit the Indian road conditions.

Impression Killer

The department where the car scores the best is in the looks department.It is such a stylish car that would compromise everything in trms of comfort and performance.Why I am saying this is though the handling is nice,the driver does not feel so comfort to drive,also the boot space is not so large to accomodate more lugguages.Moreover donot tempt to overtake a truck on the highways with the full AC on.Overall,if you are a person driving more than 300kms a week,this car is not the right choice
