In my humble opinion, if you can manage with the’A’ Pillar design that blocks the right turn view, it’s a superb car to own, no, possess. As Ifiercelypossess a ZXi AT(automatic).
Superb engine in terms of pickup/acceleration, I was doing 160kmph on the Mumbai Pune expressway and she was steady as a rock with enough power left.
If you drive decently enough, not racing all the time, she will turn out a pretty decent mileage I’m sure. I figure I am getting 10 km/l. This should improve quite a bit after the second service(just had my first service a few days ago).
Superb suspensions - last night a big gaddha(like an inverted speed breaker) turned up on the road on a turn. I had no way of predicting it and saw it only just in time to hit the brakes to go over it at 10 to 20 kmph with 3 people in the car. Superbly handled. Just a little more sound than a baby’s cough.
Ample room in the rear and front. Great features. The intermittent wiper timing can also be controlled. The USB port for pen drives/iPod can make life lot easier and one doesn’t have to carry a whole bunch of CDs.
