Review Comments
Overall Ownership Experience
General Impression:

The car has been very good overall. We’ve driven it on various road conditions, including agricultural farms.

Performance Over Time:
  • Initially, the car easily maintained speeds of 110–120 km/h on expressways.
  • Now, it struggles to go beyond 80–100 km/h.
  • Picking up in first gear has become sluggish as the car has aged.
  • Suspension has started making noise.
Electronics:

After 4.5 years, the following components failed:

  • Steering-mounted controls
  • Power window switch and motor
Ride Quality:
  • Still very good for long drives.
  • Ride and handling are comfortable and confidence-inspiring.
  • All features are sufficient except for the screen, which only supports maps.
Service & Maintenance Experience
Cost:
  • Service is expensive.
  • Regular issues every 6 months, commonly with:
  • Engine mounting
  • Power window motor
  • Average repair cost: ₹10,000
  • Notable service expenses:
  • ₹16,000 for clutch change
  • ₹14,000 (reason not recalled)
Reliability:
  • Part reliability is poor.
  • Ownership experience would’ve been better with more durable components.
Things You Like & Dislike
Likes:
  • Great first-car choice
  • Easy to drive
  • Good ride and handling
  • Comfortable with sufficient features
Dislikes:
  • Reliability could be much better
  • Notchy gear shifts, sometimes fail to slot properly
  • Low-speed performance is weak
  • After-sales service is lacking
