Review Comments
Overall Ownership Experience
  • Long drives feel breezy, and tiredness is negligible even in peak Mumbai traffic.
  • Some nagging issues like AC cooling were sorted after coding.
  • Using 95 Octane fuel definitely reduces knocking and low-gear dragging.
  • Interior quality and suspension are so-so, but definitely not as bad as people make it out to be.
Service & Maintenance Experience
  • I have purchased 5-year SVP, but still got wheel balancing, polishing, and other minor works done through the service center, which were chargeable.
  • This raised 1st year service cost to nearly 20k (service done plus proportionate SVP cost).
  • They should provide a discounted rate for SVP holders, especially for a few of the things which are required periodically.
Things You Like & Dislike
Things I Like
  • Car is used for regular office use with weekly running of 150–200 kms, most of it on Mumbai roads (including peak hour rides).
  • Seat ventilation is a big boon in Mumbai heat.
  • Initial glitches in Wireless Apple connection have been fixed 99% now after a few software updates.
Things I Don’t Like
  • A bit too ambitious, but maybe they could have provided driving modes in the top model (such as economy, etc.).
