I am using a 2001 1340cc Manual Transmission K11 for about a year now. The car is pretty good for driving in city limits. A long distance drive with 4 adults would be a bit uncomfortable becuase of the lack of rear leg space.
I beleive it would be a better choice than a 5-6 year old indian car, considering safety, comfort, performance etc. Fuel economy wise it does about 10.5km/l in Colombo & around 12.5km/l outstation.
