Has been more than 2 years and I cannot still get over it. With self driving, it has given the joy of being a part of the technology, efficiency and the ease of driving. Even with AC on full time it gives around 14 on average. Ofcourse I stop the engine in case the stoppage needed is more than 20 sec.
Manuvering with this car is a child's play and the radius of turning is like a small car - 5 mtrs. The boot space, Leg space and the width is enough comfortable. The pickup is good once on roll after 3rd gear. It has very high stability and is excellently silent.
However there are still some areas for improvement to make it more worthy for Indian roads. Clearance - it touches everytime there is a big bump. The pickup power in the lower gears are a wee bit low with the AC on. The power of the 1500 cc engine is bit less. Now with i-Vtec it has become good.
All in all, it is a great car to be an owner and keep for life. Service in Chennai is excellent. Ofcourse we need to get the car serviced surely every 6 months if not less. That will keep it on top condition for long time.
