मारुति सुज़ुकी एस्टिलो यूज़र रिव्यूज़

My new Estilo is good. Unfortunately I met an accident and some spares needed to replace under insurance coverage. I really surprised that Maruti a company which boasts for after sales service cannot even make a spare available for 15-20days in Kolkata. I have driven Santro all along and thought to shift to Maruti for their after sales service and mileage, but the kind of Spare parts availability scenario I have faced, it reminds me some reviews in the INTERNET sites about Spark.

I didn't expect this kind of service from Maruti. Really disappointed. I wud never suggest anybody to buy any maruti vehicle as their Spare Parts are not readily available.

As a product the car is good, Though I have only driven for about 8/9 days and after that met the accident and till now the car is in the workshop. I know there will be millions Maruti users in this forum, but I am just sharing my experience in this forum and personally feel Maruti Suzuki should not sell such crap cars if they cannot make the Spare available in the market and a customer have to wait for long. They are only responsible for their competitor's sales growth. They have taken their customers for granted and became complacent.

Good Style, Driving comfort, Better LooksEngine vibration, Pick up is not good as 4 cylnder engine.

 

Exterior Very nice,sunlight copper attracts dust.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Brown interiors ok,not in the league of Ritz,Beat, i10, Figo, Spark. Features are not bad,but aftermarket AUX-in and USB System fitted by Rohan Motors,Noida. The 213-litres boot is good for trips.Rear seat feels cramped and no match of Beat, Ritz, i10, Spark, Figo.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Peppy K-10 Engine but feels strained but 67 Bhp better than i10 iRDE2 With 66 hp and Spark With 63 hp. The fuel economy is 26.3 kpl claimed by Maruti Suzuki for Estilo CNG but only 19.9 kpl has been delivered by mine car. Gearbox feels ok but slightly mushy and slow.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Ride is the best , handling is not bad. 155/70/R13 tyres have good grip.

 

Final Words My new Estilo CNG-UCF 00 116772,a temporary number.The car was delivered during 24/4/11.I had to say goodbye to my Black Indigo CS(DL 10C 7126) Feb 2009 unfortunately.It is sunlight copper.The black seat covers by Stanley look crafted and striking as the smart exteriors.

 

Areas of improvement Cramped rear seat,Sluggish K10B engine.

 

Nice looks,Value for money,fuel efficiencyCramped rear seat,Strained K-10 Engine

I recently took a test drive of this car from the delaer "My Car" at Pune. Overall I found the car good. most of the things pickup, power, drivability, interiors, exteriors looked good.
But there was too much of noise from the engine and the AC. And it was unbearable like an Indica diesel. Actually I had zeroed on this car because of its looks, K-serise engine and the Maruti brand. But after the test drive I am a bit disappointed. The dealer told the car just had a major accident and because of that it was noisy. Bu, how much can we trust on this ?? I am going to take a test drive again from another dealer. I will update on that.
Can someone who already owns this new zen estilo or has taken a drive share his experiences in this regard?
Easy driving, nice pick up, good milageEngine and the AC making too much of noise

I bought Estilo Vxi in Nov’07. This is my first car ever and Indeed i feel it was a best pick of the small car segment. Just looks like a tiny Innova and there was no match or similarities to the old Zen but only the name had been derived. It uses the same engine of the WagonR. 

   It delivers better torque even in low RPMs that avoids the frequent gear shifts in the city traffic. The interiors have been designed to an extent with great look. Cabin is well insulated to reduce the noise level. Even when i ride at 125kmph i couldnt find any greater noise or vibrations... The power of AC and the fuel economy is best in the class. At the max i got 21Kmpl in the highways in mixed AC conditions.

   It is a pack of power features like iCATS, Remote Keyless Entry, Electrically adjustable Rear View Mirrors etc.,(Optional ABS and AirBag) . The gear shift is getting good enough with the timing...It has a very good refined and responsive MPFi engine with four cylinders each having four valves. The suspension (gas filled )is also got better for Indian Roads. Considering the bumpy ride on Santro, Estilo is not so bad in handling the potholes.Now they have come with a pack of refined engine and power features which includes optional airbag and ABS for greater safety.

   when it comes to below On Road price of 4,10,000 you couldnt buy a Getz or Indica CS with the features of Estilo. Even in Santro, the features like Remote Keyless Entry, ABS and Airbags are missing. Even though Indica Xeta comes cheaper than Estilo, the style and the features couldnt be compared with Estilo. In the lot the Chevy Spark have some goodies like Rear wiper, Rear fog lamps and tubeless tyers but the Display console is located in center which might distract the attention of a new user. The interior design of Estilo is far superior of Chevy Spark.Estilo is the Tall Boy, is not a big task getting into the seats for a tall man. On the basis of service network, fuel economy and resale value i opt Estilo. Probably it would be better pick for a small family of 4 to enjoy the ride on Modish Machine.

                 

Interior design, Fuel economy, Refined Engine, Power FeaturesRear body design, Features like tubeless tyers, Rear wipers and rear fog lamps are missing

Exterior

 Very nice, i bought VXI and no additional fitments added. New K series engine gives a new look for the front appearance.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Internally adjustable mirror, high level of rear seat comfort (A star, New Wagon R, Beat, i10 are lagging), lot of boot space

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 engine is bit noisy in lower gears, 18-19kmpl

gear box is OK

Ride Quality & Handling

 I have test rided Beat, i10, Vista, A star, New Wagon R and new Estilo. Choosen Estilo for better visibility in both front and rear.

Final Words

 i bought at Amman Cars, Hosur. Very good service.

No additional fitment. all things has come with the car. all power windows, body colour bumber, fog lamps, rear wiper, rear demister, parcel tray, etc., I have taken a long trip and th engine silently going beyond 100 km.

Areas of improvement  

 Second gear, Plastic regidity

 

Mini Innova, Spacious, High level of visibility, Good FEPlastic quality and rattle noise, no day night mirror

We bought it from a showroom in Ghaziabad Buying experience was enough good The suspensions of the car and also the metal used for making it could be of more good quality The car seems to be promising you may consider buying it second hand The height of the car could be more The car has less of the features but is very good and last longing.

Exterior

I've got all VXI features in an LXI. The nose dive design though was catchy, the overall look is acceptable (Compared to the boxy WR). The Plastics holding the bumpers are bad.The A pillar blocks vision@specific seat poistion.The quality of paint is bad. The metal in use!! feels like PowderTin & doesn't give confidence on Highway.The missing spoiler @back lets the back screen spoil.

Suggestions : Increase in overall body width(like Swift, UVA) will have more takers. (With new model the gear shift probm, I suppose is takn care of.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Suzuki-Change the seats! thigh support and back positions are currently bad. When Figo could do the magic why can't an Estilo? 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

The old Engine I am referring to is good for City,on Highway it's a fair one! Gearbox though was little notchy & you would've to find those 2nd & 5th gear. Economy -In my usage I have got 13.4Km in City with A/C and 18-18.6 on Highway. With A/C on at times you'll feel the power lag, but much better than an alto if you are considering. (1.1Ltr takes the point).

Ride Quality & Handling

 In city, drive is fine If you get used to the gear changes. Above 80Km need to be careful- the steering is light and body rolling is evident and at 100 it does demand you to control your emotions. The milage though improves on Highway; with constant speed or lesser clutch usage.

Final Words

 A car for city drive for 3to4 with enough laguage space & lesser back space. Get used to the Gear shift & Vibrations.

Areas of improvement  

Required on : Overall width of vehicle, change of seats, handling & quality of metal body & plastics clips in use.

Good for 3or4, Space feel@frnt, A/C & Fuel eco.Ofcourse! the Maruti service.Gear shift(trans2nd gear),Cabin noise> 60K& control>90Km,Bench-type Bck seat,Plastics

I am a proud owner of a VXi Silver Beauty. The BEST part of this car is its superb engine, excellent performance and the stability it shows when on and off the roads.. The car is great at mileage I get 19-20.5 on Highway (Without AC) and 16-18 on City roads. This beauty comes with amazing colour choices; Silver being the most common on roads.

 

The car is specially designed for a small family of a couple and 2 kids (Yeah, I will not recommend this car if u even have a single more family member because of its crunchy back seat space). The second thing that makes me shameful is its AC. The blow is not powerful enough to make the back seaters stay cool. I prefer to open the windows if traveling with full passengers capacity.

 

In all I will say a very good looking, fuel efficient, excellent performance car at very reasonable price. Excellent Engine performance on Highways as well as country side. But all these goodies come at a price of very small space for the back benchers. Also poor AC blow which leads to turn the car in to a hot frying pan for those who dream of a joyful back ride.

Superb engine, excellent stability on roads and Great fuel efficiencyless specious, big turning radious, small wheel base.

Exterior Good yanky, stylish fog lamps & head lamps, good tail lamps.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Two tone colour , good space for rear & front perons. Comfortable seating on rear seats. 3 spoke handle is easy to ride & power windows help easy opening & closing.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance good, good fuel econmoy in hills & city roads, engine is little noisy, but ok as it doesnot feel from inside much.

Ride Quality & Handling Smooth, easy & comforable, in highways  120km speeds car remains stable, good braking system, turning radius is good & smooth. cluth is smooth, driver enjoy to drive the same. ground clearance is good.

Final Words Good car, paisa bassol.

Areas of improvement Gear shift area is less, some time a bag, kids foot disterb gear changing, as spce is less. due to less power gear change is required frequently in city roads. in dump roads its whole body oscillates.

Good fuel economy, easy handling & comfortLow performance on AC on, not good car for mountain roads
