Best VFM practical & safe car below 10 Lakh price point

Exterior is overall nice, but bright color options should be given and LED/DRLs/HID should be given as accessories atleast for styling and for modern looks. 4/5 star Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors are the functional and OK type not so great, funky dash colour doesn't look premium though. Front seats offer excellent comfort, while rear seats offer OK type comfort due to the fixed headrest, no 60:40 split and thigh support is OK type. 4/5 star. Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and gearbox are also excellent and USP of this car. 5/5 star. Safety features: Loaded with tons of safety features like ARP, traction control, Hill hold assist, Electronic Stability Control (an outstanding and unheard feature in this segment ), 6 airbags. Chassis is built well. So good mix of active & passive safety features. ( 6 out of 5 star rating here :) Ride Quality & Handling Outstanding in ride & handling, not stiffer nor soft. Perfect balance of sporty Vs comforts as I observed. Best in class and USP of this car. No other Car from any manufacturer matches in this dept. 6/5 star rating here :) ( polo & punto are other two contenders in this dept ) Service: Ford service costs is cheap unlike earlier but the quality at service centres, interaction with customers is improving but still not in the league of Maruthi or Hyundais. So, you can bear the service with excellency of the car. The product is outstanding but service is OK type. Together still on the +ve side. Final Words overall, this car is 4.5 out of 5, ( exterior styling & interior needs enhancements ) but when you match it with price, its definitely 5 out of 5 star rating. Areas of improvement Fixed rear head-rest, no 60:40 rear split seats, no Sporty Colour options like red, blue, all are plain jane colours. Interior funky colours given, not looking premium. T+ should have given higher tyre size option. No LED/DRLs/HID for styling & looks even as accessories (especially compared with competition).
