If you are looking for a fancy car, this car is a strict no-no. Bad on aesthetics & finish. There are better cars available today where looks are concerned.
But you definitely wont find a car that gives you space, comfort & ride-quality for the price. Not to mention a terrific pickup and great fuel efficiency. Owing to its weight, its quite stable at high speeds and performs extremely well on the highways. I’ve taken the car to Kerala and back (around 5000 kms.) and am suitably impressed. Boot space is also adequate.
Another area where this car scores low is the high cost of spares and a highly inefficient dealer network. There are good chances of it being further sidelined due to the Palio which is a better choice.
I would rate it accordingly:
Engine Performance: 7/10
Aesthetics: 3/10
Build quality: 4/10
Overall: 4.5/10
