    What’s Cool
    * Quirky looks will attract people in smaller markets of India (read non-urban)
    * Refined petrol and diesel engines defy the 3-cylinder hardware
    * Gearbox is smooth and clutch, steering are light making it easy to drive in the city
    * Pricing although introductory, is excellent for what the car offers
    * Gets some unique features like DRLs, 6-seater configuration and Micro Hybrid engine start-stop
    What’s Not So Cool
    * Non-cohesive design, seems like different teams have worked on different angles
    * Rear seat experience is poor with low visibility, lack of legroom and headroom
    * Lots of wind noise at the a-pillar at speeds of over 100 km/hr, isn’t very stable either
    * Ride and handling balance leaves a lot to be desired, even though this is a monocoque platform
    * Misses out on features offered by rivals like keyless go, push button start, electromagnetic tail gate opener
