Fun Fact, the same engin is in the Kia Sonet. In the begining I got 7 litres per 100km, now its more like 5.9 l per 100 km. Same drive to work etc. It just gets better. It has better fuel consumtion than my pervious car the 2019 Picanto 1.2 smart manual. My Sonet is 1.5 Manual and very punchy. I bet the Sonet is more punchy than the Creta since the Creta is longer. They width and heigh is very similar. I just LOOOVE the Sonet!
Thanks Juliet, what an honest, unadulterated car review, and the advice on the SA context of the taxi industry, priceless. It's time for Mbalulla to appoint the lovely Juliet McGuire as his new Mentor😎. Gotta love Juliet ❤️👌
Nice review Juliet, I will say it again get a Suzuki Vitara Turbo, more spec and more power that costs less. A full panoramic opening sunroof, keyless entry and start, part leather and suede seats. Even the fuel consumption is less than that Creta, with a normal 6 speed auto with shift paddles. On the comfort side auto climate control is included and for services you get a 4 year 60k service plan with a 5 year 200 000km warranty
I agree about the taxi drivers. If you just let them do what they need to and stop trying to police them, all is good. Yes they drive like maniacs sometimes but I give them priority on the road because they transport a lot of lives. A bit of kindness goes a long way and as you say, makes for a more calming driving experience for everyone. They make us all better drivers because we need to be super aware of our surroundings.
Interesting you find the 1,5l engine acceptable. Maybe at the coast it's ok. I've been driving this car up in Pretoria and it's a slug. Very flat with very little torque and constantly changing gears to keep up with other road users. For me just frustrating.
Some countries have priority lanes for vehi les carrying 3 passengers and above. Meet taxi drivers in the middle is thee correct attitude in mzansi. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few
That's true about taxi drivers they really are unlike some us, best advice.
You right on point there about taxi! Great review on a Creta!

Solid point on Taxi drivers, they can be frustrating at times but they are carrying assets that contribute to the economy of our country ❤️

Don't trust that on board fuel consumption for accuracy but rather do your own calculations. Most are out with their calculations...nice review Juliet

If I got a facelift and it looked like the Creta, I'd be disappointed AF.
Lol enjoyed the taxi part
We've got very different experiences with taxi drivers
