At the end of the day, it's still an AMT. The gear changes will be felt, especially at low speed. I'd stick with the manual.

The paddle shifters in the higher variants make a big difference, I think. When you want a more engaging drive, you can take control.

The Exter is more refined than the Punch AMT. If you’re accustomed to a DCT or torque converter, you might find it wanting.

It’s a good compromise for folks who want the convenience of an automatic but don’t want to break the bank. Don’t expect it to be super sporty, though.

I think the rear looks awkward to me, but the front end is cool. It's as if they had no more ideas half way through.

The design is too polarizing. I think it will limit its overall market appeal but it might appeal to young buyers.

Function over form for me. Because of the boxy shape, there’s great headroom and visibility, and I’m all for it.

That's because it looks like a mini Venue, and that's not a bad thing. I think it will age better than some of the more radical designs that are out there.

It's hit or miss for the design, but give Hyundai props for trying something different. It's definitely memorable.

Tata’s service network is worse than Hyundai’s. Even if that were the only reason, the Exter is worth considering for hassle free ownership.

Also, the Punch has been around a lot longer, so there’s more real world data on it’s reliability. I would wait a bit to see how the Exter holds up.
