The driving experience of this car model is simply incredible. There are no possible hiccups or flat spots and the driving experience of this model is quite smooth. During long hauls, the car has an in-built mechanism to switch off its engine to reduce fuel consumption. The system is very quick to respond. But, one disadvantage is that when the engine is off the air con also shuts which creates which only keeps the blower on. This can be highly problematic on hot days. The Celerio AMT also provides a nice proposition for people who don't like to shift gears all the time. The gear shifts operate timely and the AMT typical head nods also occur perfectly. The driver can also take manual control via the gear lever. This system can properly respond to manual inputs, which also add up to its easy driving experience. Celerio is easy to park, has a small turning radius and the suspension can effectively take up bumps. This car is composed but the suspension crashes on potholes.
