      The spacious cabin, comfortable seating, and smooth ride quality make it a comfortable choice for both drivers and passengers. The car?s suspension system also contributes to a comfortable driving experience, absorbing bumps and uneven road surfaces effectively.

      Not bad not too good. Only problem is the body built-in quality of dzire. Can't even express in words about the consequences of having poor body built car. But I will suggest to buy strong body cat specially 5 star global ratings in strength. Mileage didn't make dead people alive. Be smart and choose smart.
