Congrats memo for A*. looks cool in pics.

jayakumarkp · 5th December 2008, 20:33

Hey,
It sure does look cute! Aptly named "TiffinBox" by your dad.

Can we have more pics of the interior?
How is the legroom for rear passengers ? is it really scarce ?

Caramelo · 5th December 2008, 21:19

the thing i like the most about the a-star is the rev meter. just so cool.

Presuming the same for i20 which is being manufactured in Chennai plant(if i am right) then we in Delhi will get the delivery in say atleast 6 months(Companies don't have so many bullock carts i guess

)

condor · 5th December 2008, 21:47

@memo, that was fast.
But is the car faster .. or you, getting delivery of the car ?

Congrats ! Hope you folks enjoy it for a long long time ..

Don't worry mate am sure as Hyundai ain't a Maruti so no delays as such.

Moreover if you check my signature am also awaiting its launch to buy(though maybe Linea if priced correctly may steal my heart from i20 in midway

)

YOUR car looks cooler than what i thought it would.
Congrats on the buy.
The front space looks quite comfy for a car its size!

ravi@64bhp · 6th December 2008, 01:15

Congratulations mate! Nice 'little tiffin box'

livealike · 6th December 2008, 18:12

It looks great !
I feel darker shades would have been even more attractive, something like red color.

On the whole, you have chosen the best car for your mom to drive in the city.

Latheesh · 6th December 2008, 21:50

congrats on your new "tiffin box", which variant is this?
what is the OTR price?

I am planning to buy this tiffin box in March-Apr next year :-)

phamilyman · 6th December 2008, 22:45

Congrats - A* looks decent in this color!!

btw, What is it with maruti and reversing? This is a quantum ugly leap ahead of the swift's horrendous C pillars.

With all those useless stickers, how does your mom reverse? I find swift a pain - this seems worse!

/NOM - the rest is surely typical good MSIL stuff!

blue_pulsar · 7th December 2008, 00:26

Congrats on your car! Silver looks good on A-star!

I somehow felt the quality is on par with Swift and SX4. But since the car is a segment lower than the Swift, it feels more solid. That is, same sheet metal quality, smaller size, it feels more solid. But one thing I appreciate is, doors don't shut with a gentle push. They have to be shut hard. Thats how the TD car was. Is it same with your car too?

Hi memo,

Any update on the mileage? I think you would have driven enough to get an idea by now?

Thanks!

throttleking · 9th December 2008, 14:00

congrates buddy, how much did that cost you on road and which variant?
