I purchased my beat at its launch.2010 March.It passed all my requirements especially Mileage of 18.6Kmpl.However the best I have done till date is 15.0Kmpl after doing around 30000.
In city, highway, mountainous roads, the range from 12.5 to 15 only.Boot space is not even as much as the M800 but that is not always used.Kids are comfortable on the rear seat and often sleep quite well.The rear thigh support is a bit of a problem for taller people.Rainy nights are painful to drive as the visibility is close to zero.But otherwise it is a reliable car.Handling is very good .
Safety for the front riders is excellent as the head rest is nearly in the mid length.The AC I must add is not as effective at higher ambient temps.
