Beats all the car in the same segment
Absolutely Nothing technically but paint works not very lasting.
It takes on very well in high speed, sharp turning and acceleration for such a car.

Reliable with good performance
Dash Board reflects badly.
Wheel bearings need to be changed twice within 3 years of purchase.
This car is very reliable with proper servicing and use.
Fuel consumption is average at 12km/l.
Cabin is quite small and ride comfort is average, but what do you expect from a car that cheap??

Budget car
So far so good consider it is a budget car in the first place. It beats dealing with shabby second car dealers.
Some oil stains found on engine, will have to check for suspected gasket slippage.

No major problem so far, only irritation. OK
The dash reflex badly during the day and worst at night especially if it rains.
At 5000km, the interior plastic handle broke from its place. At close inspection, the hole that was screwed together to the door is too thin. All other door have the same design. Installed a plastic washer at the screws myself.
At 40000km major servicing, the front suspension was changed on warranty. It creaks when going over road humps and during hard breaking. The catalytic converter was also changed after noises came up during acceleration and cruising.
At 42500km the gears acted-up. Sometime its held onto the 3rd gear without any change-up. Early morning drive, the gear simply do not want to change up. Another particular behaviour is when I applied hard braking and the engine nearly stalled. This issue was solved when it was discovered that the the auto-gear oil is not top-up to the required level from the previous services.
All this while averages about 400km per fill-up in mixed driving. Highway driving could returned up to 450-480km per fill-up.

Despite the problems faced which were rectified, do you still feel it's a good car to have? Thank you.
