Test driven the car for about 15 kms during early November 08 when it was just introduced. Ride was quite smooth and comfortable. AC looked fine however in the already cool weather of Delhi at that time it had to be! so cannot really talk about its performance till temperatures sore beyond 40deg. Checked it specially on 4 speed breakers which are not as per specifications and at a reasonable speed. The undercarriage did not touch. What a relief! But I need to test it on some really nasty speed breakers as I go out with family on diffcult terrains in Uttranchal.
Planning to buy it now as nothing adverse is heard. If anyone has any other experience do share please. Dealers have been recommending teflon coating and rubber lining on the under carriage. I do not know whether this is essential or is only a fad particularly when in north india the rainy season lasts only for 2-2.5 months or so.
