before sharing my experience I told that I remained a driver of santro club since last 10 years on regular basis moreover I drove honda civic, toyota xli, cultus, lancer, mehraan, charade.
In my opinion faw v2 having 1300cc dispalacement has no optimum level of engine pick up as I was expecting it feels just like santro engine drive. It has VCT engine but after attaing higher rpm its speed or pick could not be felt on higher side.
Transmission was changing like of suzuki cultus, on the other hand clutch was very soft and working accuratly, break was also not very good but was acceptable.
One this about pickup was appriciating was that upon starting ac there was no extra presure felt on the engine.
Its stearing has EPS system it was giving a good experience but the stearing of wagon r and xli is more soft tha this one.
Regading interior the ac nobs and other window nobs are looking & feeling having a weak & poor quality.
In conclusion it can be said that it may be compared on the level of cultus or other 1000 cc cars and other 1300cc cars have better brands level than this car
