Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Fuel economy: I have reached the max average mileage of 28 Km/l at a distance of 45 km from rohini to noida for the whole trip. Please find the pic attached showing that. My daily travel Rohini to Noida around 110km. Avg Fuel consumption 22-23 in winters and 19-21 in summers depending on traffic jams. Mileage increased after 10000 Kms. You will forget to visit Petrol pump. Filled once for 1450/- drive at least 750 Km. It will show you mileage the best thing.
Ride Quality & Handling Handling is cool, Ride quality is superb only one thing a bit low ground clearnace need to take care of ditches.
Final Words Must buy, I have driven it 18000 Kms. Best thing service interval 15000Km(cost 4000/- approx.), very warm welcome at TATA service centers and special attention for FIAT customers. Service centers are every where. Happy customer till now. Parts easily available eg: My wheel cap was broken once I got the original one from service center for only 210/- for emotion. One more thing I liked is that it has some separate air filter for AC which is for only 35/- you just replace that after 15000KM and your car AC will chill you out that's the best thing no need for AC servicing every alternate year. I had drive it from DELHI to SHIMLA wonderful performance on hills with mileage of 16-17 on hills and 25.5 on highway. Its true you own it and you will love it.
Areas of improvement I do not see as such complete package but I would say if your city has more ditches then roads. You should think then.
