With the test drive of 14k kms car, my feedback in short is - Once you figure out the accelerator inputs and shift rpms its pleasant. Or just moving to manual mode is easiest to have a smooth drive. Have to decide the purchase by tomorrow!

Brio and the i10 Grand which I had test driven as likely contenders before the purchase.

b) Esp. in case of the Brio, real world usage.

I second everything stated above. I recently purchased a Ignis Zeta AMT and drove only about 400 km all of which is in peak city traffic. I'm getting 11.5 in MID. Except the mild jerk while shifting between 1-2 everything is smooth. Coming from a Tiago AMT which ran about 2600 km it is a vastly superior experience. Can't predict anything long term. But overall it is a very good car. My only gripe is the transmission shifts too quickly. At around <40 kmph I'm in 4th gear🙄

Sutripta, the AC in the Brio seemed alright to me during the test drive, perhaps the blower may have been too loud.

Overall you won't go wrong with the Brio too, however, the main cause of rejection in my case was the extremely jittery ride quality. I took a test drive twice, checked the air pressure the second time to make sure. Did not find any issues with the ground clearance as such.

3 people on board, Brio barely made it over the typical road hump. With four people am sure it would have scraped.

Whatever said and done, Brio is a better car to drive in automatics. And i have paid for Ignis Alpha AMT :)

One thing i realised over this week is- we don't have a single automatic option that would tick all the boxes for OTR 8 lakhs in BLR. Each one of them has a compromise to deal with! I bit the AMT bullet and placed my trust on Maruti which is a very well known devil for me. lol

Yes, I did notice it. Test drove a 2017 Ignis petrol recently, and the clutch wasn't being released smoothly even though we take the foot off the pedal in a very seamless manner. Thought it was a problem particular to that car only.

Same here.
In my test drive car this effect was too prominent. Sometimes that even resulted in stalling the car. The was about 15K KM run.

BTW got a test drive on brand new car (not a TD one) after informing the service center that problem still persist till 2nd gear. Guess what - the new car also got the same issue.

At what RPM you shift up from first to second gear?
In our petrol Swift, if the upshifting happens at less than 2000 rpm, the car jerks.

Try once with a delayed upshifting than your usual. Hopefully the problem will be solved.

Hi,
I have purchased 2018 ignis alpha. My cars don`t have autolock features as soon as gear is engaged or car is above 20kmph. Also door mirrors don`t open and close when car is locked -unlocked. Is ignis not supported with this features.
