I bought this vehicle in Feb 2004. I had only one problem from day one till last month. The vehicle used to stop when you de-accelerate (almost 0 km per her). For example when you are moving and you see a traffic signal, you slow down and that’s when the vehicle used to stop. It took 7 months for me to fix and it was fixed by kinetic showroom in lalbagh road. Though I bought this from south end fellow. I do nto recommed you to buy any vechile from southend kinetic showroom.
Otherwise the vehicle is ok. I use it every day for around 50 km per day. Sunday to Sunday. I use it through one of the worst roads in Bangalore. So far no issues. Trice water went into the vehicle due to those heavy rains in Bangalore. No issues. I fixed it by paying 50 bucks to road side fellow. He just cleaned the fuel injection area. I get 42-45 mileage.
My friends have Honda active and I hear lot of complaints from few and few are ok with it. My other kinetic friends have few issues and few like me or ok. So basically all the range of different vehicles are good. All u need to see is mileage and maintenance cost. That’s it.
Few small issues do come in all models you just need to get those fixed.
