1. If you're targetting mainly for City Drive dont' go for diesel. Opt for Petrol. Occassionaly you can have long drives. Just because Petrol Price has increased doesn't mean you should go for Diesel. Have Diesel only if your monthly Drive is more than 2500 Kms. Petrol Engines life are more and less... on maintenance.
2. ABS & Airbag - Though are good but ABS can be felt only if the vehicle is running in excees of 80 KMPH and is in skidding. Airbag will open only if the impact is say head on collision @ 120 KM.Hr and a minimum impact force is required otherwise it will not open up. So you may not require it practically.
3. Both Beat & Ritz are good. It's only the Maruti Image people go behind Maruti. As far as Petrol Vehicle is concerned both are good. Only advantange for Ritz is Engine is more powerful and internal Space is more compared to Beat.
4. There's no issue with Beat Brakes even at high speed. All are good. Don't listen to any build up.
5. Gear shifting is this category is something practically speaking you can't expect smoothness of Mercs in this price category. You need to get adjusted. For me both are smooth & hard. Depends on how better you use to get with it.
6. Stability @ > 100 Kmph for both depends on how loaded the car is @ running. the more people/weight on board the better stability you would feel. don't expect these cars to be rock stable @ 150 Kmph. these are not Mercs/BMW, But you should still be good to limit yourself @ 120 KMPH
6. Both cars are good for highway. There's no issue with slopes & other...
7. Maruti has the advantage of better after sale. GM too has but depends on city.Read More

Man!!! You’re getting good acceptable mileage 13 Km/Lt is really good for city. check your Highway it would be 15+ surely. Getting more completely depends on your footwork. The more softer you’re on the more you’ll have.... and really the car is capable of extracting more atleast 2-3 Kms in my view....
As far as your ground clearance - yes it is there but to a extent. It’s not that really ground touching though.
As far as enhancing the Headlight Power - Keep in mind no car in India you can really upgrade bulbs to a certain extent. As per RTO Norms all cars provide standard bulbs only that’s 35/55. Anything above this is completely illegal 90/100 100/135, etc... In order to use these bulds u need to have additional wiring with cutouts. This would cost you some 1500 INR and any Car Accessory Shop wil do it + The cost of the buld Model 90/100 or 100/135. If you can spend some more say 8000 INR you can go for HID Without Projector. But again these are too banned by RTO and is only valid if its’ installed with Projecter (what Merc, BMW, AUDI have). . And installing it with projector will any how cost you 12K+.
As far as the servicing cost - Man you’re a CAR Owner how can you expect servcing cost to be in Bike category. In today’s time Bike Paid servicing comes to 1K close. This too every 2500 Km. 4K for Cars is quite resonable that too for Ford and remember you would be servicing every 10K KMS only. They have really slashed out their price in the past 3-4 Yrs.
Your car is really good and Enjoy it to full... All the best!!!Read More

My Bike Color:-
1. Full Black.
Some Enhancements Did to My Bike:-
1. Added additional Powerful 2 Horn from ROOTS - Awesome Sound to Hear
2. As Tyres are now Tubeless - I'm using Nitrogen Air in it. This increases Tyre Life, Maintains constant tyre pressure for longer time. I would say 3 mont...hs easily you dont' have to re-fill air to it. The same I use for my car also.
Something which I don't like about:-
1. No Kick Start. Only Electric Self Start - Not sure why companies are now doing this.
2. Engine under cover guard is just fiber, it should be mettalic to bear the hit.Read More

Hey both are good cars in it's category. I'm owning Wagon R DUO for over 2 Yrs. Now and has done some great long drives (Hyderabad to Mumbai, Hyderabad to Delhi). I'm good with it's performance. Getting 15 Avg. with AC in HYD CITY and long 18+. The advantage with DUO what I find is Fill Up Full Petr...ol & LPA and you can go Non-Stop for atleast 850 Kms :) . Ritz is also a good car. But what I suggest is go for LDI (base version of diesel) instead of Petrol. And then add beauties to it from outside market. In long run you'll find it worth with the engine.Read More

Well I believe 3 months shouldn’t be the case. But it’s been seen with Swift Diesel & ZXI dealers across india take some un-wanted buffer time. But once booked within a month (atleast with ZXI) it should be get delivered. Of course depending on the Colour availability you’ve ordered. And also th...ey will bring in from nearby town/city where your specification is available with.
And yes ZXI is anytime much better than VXI with ABS reason being you’ve Airbags, ofcourse ABS, and most important Auto AC & 14’’ Tire. excellent decision made!! Don’t worry you’r 50K additional investment is worth for ZXIRead More

That's a very good decision. Estilo I personally like it. Though the previous version had some look & feel issues but I personally feel both the previous as well as the new are good and that too this new version is with all new K Series.
My Friend has bought Beat LT (Top End) and I had a test driv...e and to be drive it really lacks power especially when the Auto AC is on. The power/pickup of the design is definitely very less than the Estilo. I BET ON THIS!!!!
Though from internal look you can feel little more rich :) but Estilo is no less...
i10 also willn't give you the mileage what Estilo will give by ease.
Regarding Estilo - Drive carefully and you should get 15+ anyhow in city and 18+ easily on Highways all with AC FullTimeRead More

Hi,
Why don’t you go for Wagon R?? In this you can either opt for ONLY PETROL or DUO. The Price for WAGON R PETROL ONLY and Zen is more or less same and Wagon R scores on resale value. The only +ve with Zen Estilo is it’s Beige interiors. I would rather suggest you to go for DUO as it’s having du...al fuel. Santro I wouldn’t suggest. The only cause for this is the Rear Leg Room where Zen & Wagon R scores. If you're going with Zen and you're sure you'll stick to it atleast for 1 Lac Kms then I would say go for it because after that even if you self/exchange it out you would have taken back you'r money.Read More

HI all,
Well now it's too old to give my review on this product. But accidently i was just going through it today and saw your inputs. Thnx for your quotes!!!!
Well, for me it's now over 2.5 Yrs. and I would say till no issues with this AC. Working properly and for the past 2 summers just get it c...asual check up & internal cleaning done with Samsung Peoples that too they personally called me for checkups and I'm sure only once 1 paid around 150 Rs. 2nd time I got for free. May be some free service camp was there. Otherwise till now i'm just satisfied with this piece.
A newer version of this is now in market.Read More

Congrats for your new car!!!!
Yes ofcourse because of the size greater than Swift and engine being the same the mileage difference would be there but still on long run you would be happy. And we're to drive the car not for racing purpose :) :) so Pickup wouldn't make you much difference. Once you'r...e done with your 2nd Service you should be getting an Avg. close to 15+ (with AC ON) on Long Drive with Diesel but before that around 11 only (per your driving style). If you're an OLD Driver you can expect 11+ if new don't worry will improve as you get comfortable with it. Also the Spares & Service of Maruti is always going to be on your side.
Enjoy & Have a Gr8!!! Driving....Read More

Yes, 'kschandrakanth' I was able to Test Drive both Petrol & Diesel Ver and I would say in Diesel with AC On you would like to have xtra power especially on highways. The 75 BHP though works good for SWIFT but not for DZIRE. But Yes, Petrol is good. But again, when both Ver. if u compare with Verna ...corresponding, I would say Maruti has to do a lot with Power & Pickup. Check Verna Petrol & Diesel, It just ROCKS!!!!Read More

Hey u need 'something like SWIFT' means r u referring to Mileage or Looks or Pickup or.....
If u r looking for Mileage, as DZIRE is having the same engine of SWIFT then I can bet it's not going to give that mileage because of the size of DZIRE, but yes would definitely be better. If u r going for ...space Aah, I dont think Swift is spacious, even DZIRE, rather u can go for INDICA TOP End. Check it out.
Well, if u r really serious for Space, Mileage & Budget, I would say go for LOGAN Diesel Base Model and get all the xtra accessories from Outside (ALLOYS, TOP Loaded MUSIC SYSTEM, Leather SEATS, bla bla bla...... then c the total u spent on it and the final product u r having - I'm sure that would beat all in the market from Mileage to Cost :) :)Read More

Yes, SX4 is now as best as Honda City as far as the back seat leg space is concerned. Front is also good.
Boot space in my view seems bigger than Honda City and Logan. Should be close 550 Ltrs, which is now seems to be the biggest available now.
Well, regarding Electronic/Electrical Power Stee...ring, you really have made me confused :) you know y??
I just checked the brochure that I received from showroom and also checked MUL Site, 1 very strange information I've caught, which I'm sure all would have skippped.
Nowhere it states whether the steering is Electrical or Electronic, it just states 'Power Steering (EPS)'. You too pls. check it, I can't believe this :) why they have not stated. MUL has forgot to write or is it intentionally?
But 1 thing is dam sure, the steering is veryyyyyyyy light on high speed which I think is not safe. When old drivers like me got feared :), just imagine what would new feel?
But 1 thing is sure, the price range and the feature wht SX4 is offering is just awesome!!!!Read More
