This review is posted on 21-02-2015 but the car is purchased on 30-09-2011
-I purchased from Ghosh Brothers Guwahati(Now closed down).
-My first car, even when I did’nt know how to drive then.
-First went for a Puja(Photo attached, without side bumper).
Price Quote- 2.2 Lakh, Got a 10K discount, 10K free accessories(Seat cover, Mud flap etc)
Mileage- variable: Once calculated - 26kmpl, once 23 & once 18 after a 2 hrs standing in Jam.(True for any vehicle)
Accident:
i) Broke the rear wind shield while turning, hit with a tree. 100% insurance claimed.
ii) Lower body dented inside with a pillar, Dent repaired & painted(Rs. 2200)
iii) Killed a goat on highway at Manikpur, Bongaigaon.(Rs. 7000/- costed; Bumper replacing & colour. The yellow colour is costliest and ready-made bumper comes only in black)
iv) Killed a goat again on highway at Pathshala(Barpeta), Hit at the front number plate, nothing happened, just the radiator thumped inside a little. Nothing replaced or repaired.
Look
Stunning, long lasting and yellow color is just awesome.(look at the latest photo, Showing number plate. Number plate edited for security purpose). It’s a 3.5 years old car and unlike Indica DLEs, did’nt became old granny, unlike Altos, not looked like overused or unlike Chevies, lost it’s colour. Inside, simple spacious and my beige fabrics, well maintained & gorgeous.
Sound
No, this is not at all a sleeky hissy like Suzukis, but not a Lawn mower either.
The key is Lubricant. Usually I change lubricants 700 km interval apart from mandatory initial changes. This keep my car smooth, fuel efficient and less sound polluter.
