Nice Small Car For The City — Performance - acceptable for a 3 pot motor, torquey engine for zippin in traffic Build Quality - can be better Appearance - Quite nice, no oddball (since its been aroun for almost a decade!) Cost of ownership - if u can maintain a motocycle, ur on! Fun to drive - Sure!

Nearly Everthing In A Tight Budget — Acceleration is okay since it has a 3 pot motor Build Quality is not so good, sheet metal shud b reinforced Looks quite good & not an oddball Frugal engine makes it quite fuel efficient Good handler after slapping on some good rubber!

Great Car — Superb Acceleration...very very quick off the line, very good braking, choppy handling, fairly decent build quality, looks are quite familiar and pretty old, but still looks good from the front... excellent value for money and yeah a great car to drive... maybe not the best in terms of handling or road grip but the engine more than makes up for it...

An 800cc Car With The Power Of 1000cc — even though the car is just 800cc it performs like a 1000cc car.. with great breaking. since d make is from the best makers of indian cars there is no doubt abt d build quality . the riding comfort is superb ..

A Good Car With Great Mileage And Ok Performance — tuned for mileage and low on horsepower so it cant perform really well. the gauges look cool. ownership cost is real low. got the perfect mileage for indian roads. its got power steering so driving can be easy. thats it

I Give It 3 Stars Overall — ohk..... d cars a gud 1.....but not very gud...gud 4 small rides around town but not 4 long drives....it cant top 140....its an 800 cc engine so it aint got dat much power either...handling is...hmmm...ok....braking is gud.... build quality is acceptable...hasnt needed any repairs til now...but problem is...d body isnt aerodynamic... one main advantage of dis car is dat its small and makes traffic drivin easy.... the main disadvantage is dat it is a big disappointment to those thirsting for adrenaline.... exterior can be improved with aerodynamic body...but interiors are highly unsatisfactory....its about time MSI introduced dual tone interiors.... ownership and maintenance cost is very less....and mileage is one of d best in d country....21 kmpl.... its fun to drive for amateurs but not for daily adrenaline seekers....like me.

Great City Car — Well the performance is pretty spicy but a 1.1litre transplant would do a lot better nmuch more fun to drive. Braking is good n it handles pretty well too.. It is a very fun car to drive.. Esp thru narrow lanes
