I have driven Gli(2005), City(chooha), Altis 1.8 (2005)before this car
This one is the best in comfort and room interior. Suspension is soft and hence comfy. AC is superb. On highway it was very easy to overtake other cars. I just had to put the foot down and here we go. Drove till speed of 160kmh. Though it was accelerating beyond that but I kept till 160 due to tires (they need to be replaced)
Traction control adds safety and stability.
Only in Altis I felt the same driving experience.
No local car is any match in features (new civic must be I have not driven any so can't say),
Gli and city are no way closer in performance
Build quality is superior than local cars
Let me know if you need any particular information about this car
