The spec third takes this grade and then adjusts it for owner count, emissions compliance and how many comparable cars are listed, so it does not read as the plain average of these four.
Each third is scored against comparable listings, where 5.0 is par. The headline is not their average: it adds up how far each third sits from par, so thirds that agree move it further than thirds that cancel out.

The most fun on open roads, but your left leg works hard in stop-go traffic.
Bhai says
Cheapest to buy and to fix, and the most engaging to drive. Just be ready for a busy left leg in city traffic.

Our roads need it more than any feature list. Above 190 mm, a full car clears most breakers without a scrape.

A blessing on the Mysuru or Chennai highway. Mostly unused in city traffic, and that is perfectly fine.
