In Love with my Petrol I20 after 21k Kms in 1.5 years

The exterior look of the car is excellent and the built quality is good. My car was hit by Maruti Omni from back and only a minor scratch was their. Talking about the interior features the space and comfort is nice and automatic climate control works great. The engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox gives a nice performance for a stable drive.  Talking about the mileage with my experience: 17.8 is the maximum mileage with 2 people and full luggage on highway. 16 is the mileage with fully loaded luggage and 5 persons. 16 is the mileage on long drive over State Highways. 14 is the mileage within Coimbatore City This car is the smoothest car I have ever driven before. Coming to the ride quality & handling: Handling is extremely soft with 100% clutch, the gear moves with 1 finger with slightest force. The pick up is not that great as compared to diesel variant. You will have to learn to drive this car if you extensively drive diesel cars and once you know how to handle it, the pick up lag is negligible. Final Words:  Overall so happy to have bought this car. It has been with me for 21k kms in 1.5 years. Loving it all the way, for long drives I usually maintain 90 - 100 kmph and that gives me the above mileage. Driving at 140 kmph drops the mileage which was my experiment to test the performance. Maintaining 90 - 100 kmph makes the engine stable and lets me enjoy the ride. Reverse camera is a great plus in this car. Areas of improvement:  It misses projected lamps at back side in Sports variant. Fixing the pick up issue (exactly while driving on 3rd gear with a clutch) would make this car wonderful.
