Cost: 3.5L (on road)
Dealer: KJ Automobiles, Tiruchirappalli, Tamilnadu
Booking Date: 24.02.2016

It all started like this...
Happened in Dec 2015, that fine day me and my wife were relaxing on the terrace and suddenly she saw a car pass by on the road. She was so much amused by the looks of the vehicle. I wanted to find out what model it was and goggled it. But was not able to find it. Then the very next day it again passed by and this time I got it in my Nikon L830. This time I was not going to give up and made a image search using goggle. Alas! and I found out who it was. It was MULTIX MX.
My wife wanted this car at any cost, so I goggled it again and found the dealers list. I also saw certain videos on youtube which showed some kind of new vehicle roaming in Jaipur. Then finally visited the Multix website and got to know about the specs.
I found the address of the dealer in our place and visited him right away. It was very funny for dealer that I did not even ask for anything about the vehicle. I just wanted to have the vehicle and asked him for a quotation. It was a surprise for me as there was a demo vehicle (Red color) with the dealer and we went for a ride.
Thats it, I drove the vehicle to nearby railway station area where the road is like dirt race track. Surprisingly we felt so comfortable and decided to buy it.
The points to note here is...
1. I did not want to buy a four wheeler. (My dad owns a Fiat and My brother owns Bolero) I could borrow it from them anytime.![[:)]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Smile.gif "Smile [:)]")
2. We loved our Hero Honda Passion Plus which we have driven for more than 5,54,000 (Yes correct 5 Lakh plus) all across South India, to name a few Ooty, Kodaikanal, Yercaud, Chennai, Bangalore, Kerala.
3. Although I like cars very much, I never wanted to buy one.
But Multix has changed all that.
The ownership part...
Eventhough I decided to buy it, the cost of ownership somewhat failed to impress me. I just made a quick comparison of various vehicles in this price segment. We shortlisted, Maruti Omni, Hyundai i10, Maruti Swift, Gypsy and also a few others.
But nothing seemed to bring a smile on my wife face except Multix.
So decided on Multix I wanted to book it, so we were taken to the workshop to select the vehicle. There was four Multix one yellow, one red and two silver. My wife selected the silver and booked it right way. Then we went to the dealer showroom and paid the token advance on 24.02.2016. I wanted Multix to be delivered on 21.03.2016 (My wife birthday). Made the full payment through NEFT on 05.03.2016 and waited for the delivery. But I got a call on 11.03.2016 that all the RTO and other formalities were completed and our Multix was ready.
Without any hesitation we reached the dealer with our friend to take delivery. Finally after all the poojas and get together we drove home our Multix at 7.30 pm.
First few days...
I never knew that the maximum speed of Multix was around 50 Kms. My wife was very very happy about the speed. Because by the way I play Burnout Paradise she thought that I would engage the same in real life.
I was quite impressed by the comfort level. The fuel economy was unbelievable. Most importantly our Multix was a head turner everywhere we went.
Even though I purchased the rear cover, I removed it and liked the way it looked without it.
After the first 1000 Kms I went to change the oil, air filter etc.
The Second Phase
This time after crossing 1000 Kms we thought of putting our Multix to the real adventure. We drove to a hilltop in a isolated place without any road (the path was created by the water flowing from the hill). It was like a 1000 mts hill with boulders and hard bends, but Multix handled them very easily (Thanks for the excellent ground clearance). I am stating this point because once we reached the top people were not able to beleive that we drove our vehicle in this treacherous condition. That is the power of Multix. Though it looks cute it has a beast hidden inside it.
The Beauty and The Beast
The interior are simple but elegant.
The seat is quite comfortable and good for your posture.
The stearing wheel and gear are well positioned.
The rear seat had some heating issues because the engine was just below it. (But it was solved by placing a Aluminium sheet during my second service

Engine/Gear/Brake
Engine sound is little bit a concern. It is smooth but not so silent. Torque of this engine is good.
At the time of delivery our Multix was fitted with Constant mess. So the shifting of gears sometimes caused sounds. But after 6 months Multix offered to change it to synchronise gearbox (without any cost)
Braking is also good and simple. The power of its braking capacities was unleased on my first ride to hilltop itself.
Comfort
The most important thing was the driving position. And I must tell you even after driving it for straight 4 hours without any pitstop. I did not feel any discomfort (Trichy to Mayiladuthrai 160 Kms).
The front passenger seat is another comfort zone, the head room and leg room is awesome and you can't find anything like this is any other vehicle.
Electronics
The Multix has a very basic music system. Good enough for daily commute.
Headlamp is very good.
Indicators are spot on.
Brake lights are very good, especially the high raised brake light.
Mileage
Nothing to say here... gives around 28 kmpl. What else do I need.
