I was reading through the Swift DZire reviews on mouthshut, and just thought of sharing my dzire test drive experience as well. Took a test drive of Maruti DZire diesel at Gurgaon a few days back. Here’s a quick summary of my observations:
1. Interiors are quite exciting compared to my Ford Ikon.
2. The engine is a show stealer. The thrust I experienced at any gear after the rpm crossed 2K is to be experienced to be believed. The moment I revved the engine up, the push it gave to the car was amazing. I haven’t driven diesel cars much, and hence would refrain from commenting extensively. Nevertheless, it was a pleasure to drive Dzire.
3. The gear transmission ration was enviable.
4. Driving position is good and rear visibility is sufficient, even for a medium height person like me.
5. The turning radius of Maruti dzire is quite good.
6. Brakes with ABS are powerful.
7. NVH levels(Noise, Vibration and Harshness) is minimal. One can hardly feel that it is a diesel car.
Dzire will definitely affect the sales of Logan and Indigo. Good job Maruti.
