Very subjective review based on self justification. First of all, if you have bought something of your choice, it doesn't mean others have the same choice too. A good balanced review consists of pros and cons but in this review Cultus has been described as Better than even civic and city let alone the Jdm counterparts.
I had to purchase a new Car in 1.0 L category and I was all set to buy this Cultus. I test drove it too. But I waited till I complete the true analysis and comparisons. My preferences were fuel efficiency, performance, looks, drive comfort, safety features etc etc. Toyota vitz, passo and mitsubishi mirage came into the comparisons. My budget was 1.4 million maximum. Auto cultus was beyond that range and in comparison had less features than these jdms. Vitz was beautiful, comfortable but lagged behind in fuel efficiency and power factor. Moreover a clean low driven vitz was more than 1.5 million too just like Auto cultus. So the final match between Passo and mitsubishi mirage. Mirage won the competition hands down and got a low driven clean mirage for 1.350 million. Mirage beats cultus in everything. Fuel efficiency, comfort, features and safety etc everything. So every Jdm is not necessarily a damaged one and vigilance and careful analysis can get you a neat and clean ride. Lastly , I'm not against cultus at all but it's overpriced by 150,000-20,0000 and it's only due to monopoly of pak suzuki in 1.0 L category.
