    A-Star which is already being shipped to France, Italy, the UK, the Netherlands, Germany and other major markets in Europe by Maruti now heads latin america and africa.

    A-Star comes with the new highly fuel-efficient K-series petrol engine and is Euro-4 and Euro-5 complaint

    I have voted for performance as I have found the engine a fun and zippy one to drive for a 3 cylinder unit.

    I've voted for performance and efficiency. It is a good example for a 3 pot motor. Looks, though good is not the best.

    The motor has to be driven to be believed. Only Suzuki and Honda can produce such awesome motors.

    A-Star is a nice little compact car but is looks are nothing to write home about.
    I voted for Fuel Efficieny, Its the only factor where most of the MSIL cars wins!

    Is it really efficient? How much is the milege? Even the Swift Petrol was supposed to be Fuel Efficient. We now know the truth.

    Are you sure? You've not heard some of the reliability stories.

    Fuel efficiency is good with most products vibhor, but this engine is also a driver's as well as a tuner's delight.

    one ting which i want to mention is that the dash is placed too high...you can hardly see any obstacles which are near your bumper, except that i found everything beautifully done

    Few changes to A-star will make it look good for all. I think many would have liked the concept car design.

    Thats true. When I TDd the A-Star, I was having a lot of trouble gauging bumper to bumper distances. Had it been, set a little lower, it would have been fine. I also found the mirrors to be very small and useless in the most part. But the front seats are awesome with very good lower back support.
