Interior
The dashboard is Ok. There is no rpm meter which would have been a stylish factor. Lighting of the dashboard control is good. This car is made for small families (2 adults and 2 kids) and some people expect 5 elephants to travel in this. But I found this car can easily pull 5 adults and reach 100km speed on highways. I have got extra fittings like car audio, tinted glasses, matching seat covers, steering cover, dual horns, power-windows for front windows and fog lamps. This makes my car look very nice.
Engine
Gear shift comes with some kind of locking. So if you are in 2nd gear, you cannot shift to reverse easily. Thats good as well as bad at times. Gears arent smooth to change. Needs some effort at times. Engine performance is good so far, and it pushed me till 125 kmph with 3 adult and 1 kid inside. I understand that speed is less of car, but more of drivers confidence, and I wouldnt have crossed more speed in a better car. so I am Ok again. Fuel economy is good. I have travelled in plains and hilly areas, and average so far is 18+.
Ride Quality & Handling
I cannot expect the riding comforts of a Ferrari in this car. Suspension is good so far. Handling wise, power steering and power breaks are very good. It has helped me save few minor accidents so far. This car is far better then M800 in all ways so far.
