Hello every one It is very easy ( and pretty fun) to drive in the city. Very! In the 4th and 5th gear however, the pick-up doesn't seem the same. As in it slacks down considerably, but this tuning has been done by the Maruti Suzuki fellows to return decent mileage figures. You will find the need to change to lower gears ( especially on the highway) while overtaking, after which the car simply zips past your opponent. Basically, the car offers more than enough power for your city needs and sufficient power for the highway. But if your in the mood to race, you might as well go buy yourself a race car! Because this car, is no snail, but no cheetah either. The engine is a bit noisy though and gives a slight race car noise at higher revs. Fuel economy is nothing close to what Maruti claims( 17-18 to a litre! in the city! ridiculous! ). It returns about 11-12 in the city and about 15 ( to a litre, petrol) on the highway which is not great, but ok. The gearbox is nice and easy on the hands, but could have been a little smoother on the feel, just a little. The gear ratios also are well set, making this car a very good performer.
