Hi !!!!


I really appreciate kinetic's moves to bring in better,efficient and powerful vehicles,,but their initiatives in the recent years have proved futile. Infact,Kinetic's sales and pride has gone down in recent years.


All tis due to their poor engineering and very poor after sales service.


The vintage kinetic honda was much much better which started heads turn to the kinetic company.


All the aspects of tht vehicle was good and the customers liked it..


Then, came the NOVA which was much expected vehicle. The external appearance and designing was all fine but the vehicle didnt prove good in the long run.


First, the kick starter, the worst in its kind. I rarely used the kick starter and when the necessity arised,,the kick starter broke in two or three attempts. The teeth of the sprocket gets damaged and the service people blame us for not knowing how to use it. BUT,,this continued even after servicing and all the expediture and it developed the same problem within a week or two after its service. Obviously,any company has to take responsibility if the problem persists immediately after service. But,the service centre were mean and said another paid service. Who will like to pay money again for the same problem. Then,we directly contacted the kinetic head office and after they took the steps these people here in chennai service it again without any charges. They had an annoying face all thru the service period.


Next, te body is so poorly engineered that it develops some protrusions over a period of time and creates hinderance when you drive. Foe example, the corners of the foot rest.


The switches get clogged frequently and the performance of the vehicle is very very poor. The vehicle vibrates even at a spped of 40kmph. The pickup has drastically come down,,,even after servicing they are not able to bring the same pickup which was there at the time of purchase.


The vehicle has been handled only by me and my father and both of us are safe and soft drivers.So,,I truly dont handle the vehicle roughly.Inspite of this,the vehicle develops problems.


God knows the plight of the vehicle in the hands of rash drivers.


Overall,,the vehicle does not satisfy you in the long run although it may seem impressive compared to other brand at the time of purchase.


The kinetic needs to test the vehicle properly taking into mind whether these vehicles annoy the customers in the long run or not.


I have checked out most of the comments in mouthsut.com...Although,,people rate the vehicle very good,,even they dont have good comments about the service centres all over india. So,without good service centres even a very good vehicle will deteriorate in the long run.


The new kinetic blaze again looks too good.....BUT,,who knows the problems it may develop in the long run.


Thanks,


Arvind.
