Hi, this is just a teaser the full review with comparisions, with Ford Fiesta will be out soon.I waited patiently over half an hour at the dealers, but the car was out for test drives and I was running short of lunch breaks....they had a top of the line car on display so here are camera pics
from my mobile of the same.
Ok...so they want a minimum 150 words to actually get this review online? Hmm...so what i’ll tell you is the findings from the car on display I sat in.The displayed car was a1.6litre petrol top of the line version.I had already seen the CRDi(Diesel) model zip past me when I arrived at the showroom.
First looks....well nothing actually as it is a very bland looking car.It has a leaping stance, but apart form that, it is not going to turn any heads. It is actually the Accent replacement, but I guess HMSI is taking a leaf out of Maruti’s book, and keeping both the models on sale.Remember the Baleno was the replacement for the Esteem! Infact since there are already quite a few numbers of these cars on the roads now, I am willing to bet, that you haven’t even noticed this car when it passes by.
This car doesn’t make you want to buy it.......like say the Ford Fiesta or the Skoda Octavia.
From the inside the interiors are refreshingly new, but I just went over to the Sonata on display...lo and behold, the centre console was the same! The moment you sit inside, you begin to feel claustrophobic....seriously! The sloping Front windshield, makes you feel like you are sitting
inside a small car, restricting space. My left leg after adjusting the seat, hit the gears, not good.
Seating is comfortable, if you like getting squeezed. Why would any one want to spend so much money to get in a tight jam?? Applies only to nearly 6 footers and above. For the rest of the public, this cars will provide sufficient space.

Incidentally got a call from the dealer at Skoda and got a unofficial test drive of the
SKODA Fabia! Test drive report coming soon! Also got a test drive of the new Indgio
CS(compact sedan)!
