      This car is comfortable for a small family. It’s suitable for short trips, budget-friendly, and one of the cheapest options. I preferred the automatic version, but due to budget constraints, I purchased the manual one.

      The Kwid is truly beyond imagination — an absolutely awesome car! It's not just stylish and cool, but also incredibly safe, making it a perfect choice for a small family. If you're planning to buy a new car, you should definitely check it out. I love my kid, and I love my Kwid — it’s the ideal combination of comfort, safety, and style.

      The mileage of this car is quite good, and it’s a great option for a middle-income family. No extra expenses—just get it serviced and keep enjoying the ride. So overall, it’s perfectly fine.
