I got my i20 Asta petrol two weeks ago.
Cons: Low gears a bit underpowered.
Minor cons: No Blue tooth, Remote is soundless, Front doors open even it is locked (bad for child, but then, you are not supposed to put them in front), sometimes the back gear does not get into groove properly (may be my problem…)
Pros: Everything else.
Minor pros: Head turner, you will see a lot of jaws dropping when you show your car, your neighbors will visit you whenever you are near your car to see it.
Comparison with Swift/Ritz: Swift/Ritz has a better gear ratios and pick-up is better. But once you take the i20 beyond 2000 rpm, its improves, well the car is heavier than the other two…. Everything else is better than the marutis.
Mileage: I have put in 26 lts (+5lts from the dealer) power petrol and then I had to refill after around 415 Kms (with a/c 50% of time). Pretty good for a brand new car even before first servicing (actually I am really surprised but I used to get 18-19 in city from my Maruti 800). Specially in Bangalore where you have speed breakers every 200mts. Anyway, I don’t rev and try any funny unnecessary things and follow the best practices.
Space: Quite comfortable. Don’t expect to push the back seat to the limit and expect the back seat passengers to be comfortable. Boot space is also quite nice..
Price: I wouldn’t mind a lower price, specially as the dealer does not give even 1 Re off… and the road tax in Bangalore is a killer.
Dealer Experience: Quite good, though could have updated with the status a bit more regularly.
Not yet seen: How this one performs on hilly road.
Overall: Quite satisfied
