My parents bought this car after nearly a month of scouting....Now, both of them are not avid car lovers but t it was the classy look of the Optra Magnum that clinched the deal for them...The Honda city looks good too..but it somehow lacks the class that the optra has. Though I did not personally test drive the car, I rooted for this car after reading the reviews here...
And finally when I did go to my hometown and drove the car, it was an absolute pleasure..I took it for a long drive on NH5 and it just zoomed on the highway...I was given a strict orders by my parents not to drive at speeds over 70-75KMPH...but once u start driving this car, u can never check urself...110 and 120 seem lik 60 on this car...The only bad part is the fuel efficiency...It hardly gave me 12-13 kmpl even on highways...but that was before even it reached a 1000kms...So probably after the 1st service, the mileage should go up...
