After investing considerable time in figuring out which auto geared two wheeler is good for the family , I zeroed in on Bajaj Wave. I was impressed by its power and the driving comfort. In particular the rear seat comfort was something my wife and mother felt was better on WAVE then its competitors on a bumpy road ( They accompanied me in evaluating Honda Activa and Kinetic Nova).
The power of the vehicle is very good to pull you out of traffic hazards quickly. The mileage is something I am yet to monitor closely and would not be able to make a statement now. The DTSI Engine should not disappoint me on this front. The other factor is the cost. It is probably the most competitively priced autogeared scooter in its range. It costed me 37500/- (Bangalore) on road.( Activa and Nova are close to Rs. 45000/-) and is certainly a good value for money. Other positives are its looks and is very contemparary.
The acceleration and power 8ps/110 cc is something commendable and the road grip is good.
Overall it is a good experience and Engineers at Bajaj Auto have done a good job in configuring this machine excellantly.
