True, when I write this, Iam overwhelmed with contentment of owning this small thunder on wheels!
I have a Palio also in my stable, and I acquired this after trading off my zen. The first drive from the dealer to my home was really thrilling, as I had driven almost all cars in this segment, and owned a few. The manoeuverability, the engine response and the riding comfort all speaks volumes about the brand chevrolet!, uncompromising on quality, which counts. The steering with the power option is simply majestic and it takes on the curves and bends with ease and elasticity. The seating is comfortable and view is superb, and drivability ofcourse beyond compare in its segment, nay even a segment higher, I would vouchsafe.
The ride is superb, with the suspension which makes the riders, feel as if on air, floating, (that is what my daughter told me) .Then the AC., really powerful and makes you shiver in a few seconds, if you put it on a moderately cooler mode. The ground clearance is excellent on Indian roads it is a boon. Turning radius is also appreciable compared to other small cars, and parking in busy roads is very easy.
The lighting system is beyond compromise, and the adjustable head lamps with the rotating switch is simply marvellous.! The upholstery is very good, and the rubber parts are of high quality, which is sledom found on cars offered at this price.
fuel efficiency is another aspect, which gave me a cool 16.5 on city roads, over and above all the pep of the engine, which responds to the minutest pedalling is beyond comparison.
I love this machine, and would recommed, to the whole world with full heart.
