Have this car in my family since 6 years and it just runs fine. The car never broke down on a lonely road. I still remember there was a problem with the battery in a busy road. Called up the emergency service center and yes the service guy showed up on time charged up the battery( the guy had battery with himself also he started the car with just two flash and the battery charged itself while accelerating) . Last year only, we changed the tires this time it Michelin tyres. In every six month the car enjoys scheduled servicing. The maintainence charge will not be a headache for a middle class man. The car is reliable and confortable.
