Hi,
Its been 6 months(May 21, 2013) since I bought this elegant classy drive. The name has been aptly kept by the Koreans, it flows like fluid. Smooth. Fluidic is filled with features which none other car in this segment provides you with. Right from the retracting rear view mirrors to 2 way adjustable steering with calling and receiving calls features along with audio controls, Rear View Camera, Rich Interior quality, Leather and wood finished Interiors, Cabin Light with spot light kinda effect which does not disturb the driver even if person next to him has put the light on, Big Boot you can take all your wardrobe along which is also sufficiently illuminated, the key less entry and Start Stop Button for the Engine are smooth operators, the looks are exuberant and too Classy for the price. Now to our favorite question(Kitna deti hai?) : p Average. Not surprisingly, as the classic Verna also was known for its fuel economy, the Fluidic too does not let you down. I have received an Avg of 15-17 in City limits and 20+ on Highways which is way above any of the competitor cars in this segment.
Rear Seating is a bit of a set back as its low and angle of seats is very erect and not comforting on Long Drives, also the hump in the rear seating(between 2 seats) makes 3 seaters uncomfortable. Head Lamps could have been more powerful and also the Interior Lighting of buttons, like the power window and other buttons on driver panel is not illuminated, at nights it gets difficult to locate the buttons.(Vento priced around 11 lacs also provides lights) Also the Shock Absorbers also could have been better.
More Pros than Cons and some cons can be overlooked just like I did. The car being one of the best featured cars, lives up to the expectation. True Value for Money!
