    I bought an Elevate CVT VX and am happy to ride; there were no issues with pick-up or engine roaring. I like too much. More spaces, comfort, and build quality are too good in these segments.😊

    Congratulations on your purchase. What a way to start the video. Elevate at the signal behind 2 Honda City's. Honda is a word of mouth car with very minimal advertisement. When launched and even in the subsequent years, Honda City was preferred by Professionals . For Elevate the negative reviews are far and few.

    I must say that your review is much informative and helpful to a genuine buyer as compared to professional ones. I agree on points that this car should have rain sensing wipers and ventilated seats. In Delhi during rains sometimes you go under flyover and then comes out and the dry wiping of windshield is not a good sound to ears. As for ventilated seats they are offering some 'jugad ' for ventilated seats but I don't know how useful it is. Please give your review on that. One question I am curious, does collision mitigation also functions like front parking assist sensors? Please reply.
