Good perfomer
Overall good performance, mileage is good around 40-45 in city ,requires proper maintenance. Equipped with ABS provides safety and confidence. The tyres need to be replaced around 25000-30000 km . Battery can last long 4 or even 5 years . Should go to service at proper intervals , which ensures long life .
