The leader shows the way. Review on Maruti Suzuki SX4

I am using a Santro (zip +) from 5 yrs, which is very comfortable for me in the city. While taking my first car I felt its not good for the looks but I felt comfort and reliability is all that drives any person to buy a car.

I started my research with......high end cars..b’cas I want to know the actual difference and arrive at the value for my investment. Every dealer from Scoda to Honda.. Suggests and talks a lot about the safety features.... that’s the ultimate thing u get in a luxury car beside the comfort and feel. Safety is the top priority of any luxury vehicle.

O.K coming to the actual thing. Maruthi is a real leader in the market (with maximum market share) They showed the way how other car manufacturers  have to follow. Why should the Indian version of Honda city   lacks the safety features while all the other country people enjoy the benefit, ......Price..? the Indian car prices are comparable to be higher   than to the US. But less in safety features. Why?? Honda has to answer.

Leaving the basic version.. the sx4 ZXI have all the features of the luxury car segment.(except the cams. LCD’s and computerized settings etc) All the basic safety features like ABS, Airbags and features like integrated stereo, alloy wheels etc. the simple luxury features like   controls on steering, climaitiser   etc. of course almost all the reviews   named them already..

Above all these features the must considered thing is the ground clearance...   We are living in India I think every one needs to ride on the roads with speed breakers (killers), I need to travel every 4 months to my village and regularly to my Industrial estate where I work.... the roads have feet deep potholes. And park in the cellar where the Honda city ground clearance is not suitable.

The ride in the sx4 made me feel like a SUV with the 16inch wheels it’s the best-fit vehicle. I actually want to go for an SUV for my regular travel but as I cant afford of a second vehicle and my family members want me to go for a sedan only.

The final conclusion is there might be a few followers soon. And the sx4 will definitely be the leader.

the final conclussion after driving 2000 km.....

the best to have on indian roads.... the fuel efficiency is better than expected...just now compared with the features of civic and corolla... it have an additional features.. I now request every one...to compare with corolla and civic and not with city or verna...its a bit inferior in engine power than corolla and civic.

Hope my review  is considerable facts... if not suggest me
