Good first timers

 

Exterior The exteriors are overall good but not stylish or smart looking.At least two rear view mirrors should have been provided in LXi models.The body is too light and even a little bump creates dent on the body, the paint quality is poor as at few places rust has appeared despite taking much care of the car.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors as far as the front seats are considered overall is good but the rear seats are really cramped.A/c is quite good but the pickup is quite low with a/c on.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox As far as my experience goes it is raelly a trouble free ,low mainteanance , cost effective vehicle.The fuel economy is very good but the gear shift is not very smooth.

 

Ride Quality & Handling In the city ,ride quality is quite comfortable and handing/manouverability in congested and narrow lanes is very good with power steering. But with A/c on the pickup is very very low when you are in a broad trafic free road.It is shaky after you cross a speed of 90 kmph.

 

Final Words A nice car for the first time buyer and middle class family. Perhaps the most economic car in India after maruti 800.If you have a budget of only Rs 3 lac only, you should go for it.

 

Areas of improvement Overall in this budget it is a very good product of Maruti with very very affordable spares and wide service network.The improvement could be done by providing a remote boot opener and both side rear view mirror.  Little improvement could be done for pickup with a/c on also.

 

Good manouvarability in conjested roads with lot of slow trafficThe interiors are not attractive but better than 800. Less spacious rear seats.No remote boot opener
