मारुति सुज़ुकी ओमनी यूज़र रिव्यूज़

I purchased van in 1998, still in use. I had Maruti car & contessa. But I enjoyed driving van in city. It gets. Easily repaired. Even one can repair himself while sitting inside. Once inside, you feel like moving in a spacious place, stretching out completely. The whole biochemistry of vehicles, I learnt through van only One can easily see repairing without being mislead by scrupulous mechanics. parts are affordable & Cheap. THE SHAPE OF VAN MAY BE REARRNGED IN MANNER  SIMILAR TO CAR. TO ME IT APPEARS MARUTI IS DELIBERATELY NOT INNOVATING VAN & UNNECESSARY INTRODUCING  COSTLY CARS. MOVING VERY MUCH AWAY FROM DREAMS OF SANJAY GANDHI van can be made cheaper by changing shape, reducing back space, dismantling back door, reducing synthetic funishings, making windoows like cars body shape/2 nd seat near driver /a/c installation at least in back/ INTRODUCE LOCAL FURNISHINGS. AFTER ALL NANO IS ALSO APPARENTLY BEAUTIFUL CAR.

VAN IS MUST FOR EVERY FAMILY IN A CITY.

Exterior No style statement. Just a box on wheels.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Fuel economy is average.

Ride Quality & Handling It can be easily maneuvered.

Final Words This was the first car in our family. We travelled a lot, driving across India, in this car. I would say that I prefer Omni to Maruti 800. It doesn't amount to very much, but it's ok when the price is taken into account.

Comfortable for 8 people to go at once but non ac makes it less comfortable. Seats cannot be pushed back. and engine below seats don't allow us to fit an ac.

there is no crumble zone on the front and the safety is very low in case of a head on collision. Less road grip especially while negotiating curves. Engine is placed below the front left seat and you can start feel like sitting on a stove if you are in the seat for more than one hour. The rear seats are best called as benches. The rear suspension is only leaf spring suspension which is normally used only in vans transporting goods! Don't forget there is no A/C

If you don't really require that much space, and give style some weightage though, you should opt for Tata Nano

Areas of improvement Comfort level is not that great for passengers. Should be improved upon. Higher models with air conditioning should be made available.

For every bikers OMNI IS A BOON. It's one of the best car to drive and work smoothly in the CITY ONLY. HOW?

1. If you work whole day riding a bike, by evening you get tired and harassed. Omni gives you the feel of owning a car and comfort till evening. Infact you can work till 9-10 p. m.

2. Riding a bike is much risky as your whole body is in the open air and by wearing a helmet you are safe with only head injury but you may break your leg or arms if god forbid you even meet with a small accident which will make you sit idle for 1-2 months bed rest and makes you almost jobless. But with OMNI you will still be inside a car and avoid a big injury.

3. Your cost of the bike is between 60000-90000, Which is almost 30% value of OMNI. It means that make a down-payment of the same amount and get OMNI than buying a bike, rest amount you pay in installments.

4. Bike servicing cost you around 6-7000 a year but OMNI has around 4000 if there is no major accident or scratches to replace any accessories.

5. You wish to work more in a day with OMNI because you can't ride bike for long time.

6. You feel like a small home inside carrying Water, Snacks, Charger, Notepads and Bags, Laptop, Clothes, Perfumes and other necessary things which you can't carry with a bike. Any moment you can park your car under a tree or beside the road and make calls to your clients and also get refreshment.

7. Sometimes you may take a nap and again get refresh and start working, but With Bike for small nap or rest you go to your house and kill your 2-3 hours at home.

8. Most of the time you do half day work and get home early but with OMNI you can stay away and work late and go home late safely.

9. NO AC - Bike has no AC too.

10. Manual Steering - Still easier than accelerating your bike.

11. Door opens fast because you will immidiatly be out and straightaway go to your work than luxury cars. I have seen people take more time getting in the luxury car or coming out of it.

12. Luxury cars give you as much comfort as you get it at home and makes you lazy, but with OMNI you will always feel active so it's good that the driver seat is not very cozy as the other cars have.

13. Drive OMNI on its contro lled speed in the city. YOU WILL HARDLY FIND THE OWNER OF AUDI OR MERCEDES-BENZ CAR DRIVING FAST/RASH IN THE CITY. Drive like a king not as a Thief.

14. Fuel or Mileage is perfect Because you get more than a bike once you Own an OMNI.

15. OMNI LOOKS GREAT WHEN YOU DRIVE SLOW.

16. If it is raining or scorching sun or stuck in the traffic, You will feel better than the bike. So guys hope it would help you to get rid of your bikes and come to get an OMNI. AND YES WHEN YOU DO HAVE TO GO OUT WITH YOUR FAMILY OR ON HIGHWAYS - BE ON SAFER SIDE AND HIRE A BIG SIZED CAR, BECAUSE I THINK OMNI IS A CITY CAR.

People says that there is no safety in this Car, I would say even you are not safe with a HUMMER or RANGE ROVER if you don't drive safe. And I know that it is at least MUCH better than the bikes. Even Doctors advises not to ride bike more while putting on helmet as it may cause you to face spondalitis around your neck. I do started getting this problem as I rode bike more than 7 years. Now I give up and slowly and steady I will win the race with OMNI. And work harder and harder, by the age of fourty you would see how much money did you save - that would be worth buying an AUDI OR MERCEDES-BENZ OR BMW.
