I bought Kinetic Nova 135 after a in depth research over available options. And I considered Activa/Dio/Nova 135. While Activa was out of race being outdated in looks. Dio was shown doors by the specifications of Nova 135.
135 CC engine,
Great space under seat,
Great power,
Good dealers,
Good response from Kinetic over my queries before and after purchase.
Now I have been using Nova 135 since last 4 months and I am in a situation to give true feedback about it.
Here comes my true comments for the vehicle:
The pick-up of vehicle is really AAHO. and I like this thing very much.
Mileage is no where reaching above 37-40Kmpl. Despite myself being very particular in driving it in the ’’green’’ limits of speed.
The tail light needs a cover to prevent itself from cracking even due to a small collision.
The head lamp needs a focusing, which even dealer finds difficult to do. Plus the bulb that I got in the vehicle is a local made....Why not use phillips or any other of repute.
Kick start is inconsistent in working properly. Sometimes its good even in morning, and sometimes it doesn’t get me my Nova on.
Mirrors are little outside, and helps in saving the vehicle but, easy to get in collision with other vehicle’s mirror in a crowded road.
Other then these, there are something that can be
improved at dealer’s place:
Dealers should be able to show the mobile charging point working. So they should have the required attachment to show it to customer. That will improve level of confidence in customers.
Something should be done to perform the mileage test.(in real road conditions, so just running it for 100ml petrol will not do the job)
