• Stunning design. Easily the most stylish hatchback on our roads today
• Solid build quality
• Fuel efficient diesel
• Mature & superb ride quality
• Outstanding high speed dynamics. The new benchmark ( amongst hatches)
• Perfectly calibrated & weighted power steering. Deserves a mention here
• 5 star safety, ABS & airbags ( even on the diesel variant)
What you won’t:
• Rear bench space. Cosy interiors by big hatch standards. Not an Indica Vista
• Interior fit, finish and quality are strictly average
• Low FE of the petrol
• Lack of outright performance ( diesel) . No high powered engine ( a la Palio 1.6 100 BHP)
• Engine noise at speed ( petrol and diesel both)
• Service network not a match of say, Maruti or Hyundai
