Had a chance to TD a black Alpha AT. Views below are strictly from someone who’s very used to a Crysta 2.8 AT
- Very manoeuvrable. Easy to drive. Had to drive in some bad traffic at Mysore Road and it wasn’t a pain at all
- Brakes aren’t confident inspiring. Doesn’t stop when you think it’ll stop. Maybe one has to get used to that brake
- The engine isn’t silent at all, as made out by many YouTube reviews. It growls and noise is high inside
- 0-60 will take ages. Had to overtake a Karnataka State transport Sarige bus, but Sarige rules. Could not get across
- Comfort is superb. No roll. Drives like a small car for sure. Was super easy over speed breakers
- Doesn’t attract as much attention on roads like how the Thar did when launched. That’s good to my mind
- Passenger seat, when occupied, does feel ‘full’, but unlike many who said shoulders were rubbing, it wasn’t the case at all
- Head room is quite sufficient. I’m 5’11” and I still had a lot of head room space
- Sorely miss the seat height adjustment mechanism. Might be a big dampner for lower than average height people, men and women, more so, for women, who love to see the left extreme corner of the hood while seated
- IRVM is ok. The head rest of the rear seat is what you’ll see most
- Compact and cute and so so so easy to drive
- And no, it isn’t small at all, as many are making out on various YouTube and blogs. It’s quite a looker and has its own cute road presence
- Lastly, the tyres are a dead give away. They surely appear, look and are really thin and puny
