        This is an awesome car to drive both on city and highways. A slightly stiff suspension though which is gonna be felt on rough patchy roads. The engine is so good at this price point. I bought the HTX variant 3 months back and already clocked 8000km plus so from my experience it's a very good and fun to drive.
