What's wrong with this car???

Exterior I personally like the exteriors. The problem in India is; people don't understand the difference between an SUV and a Cross-over. The side and front profile of the car is really good looking. Ground clearance is good enough. A pair of fancy tail lights can make it much better. Alloys could also be much better.

 Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Don't have any complaints here. Good looking all black interiors. Space is awesome. Driving stance is high. Ergonomics are good. The touchscreen system gives a luxury feel. Overall, it is much much better & more than EcoSport. 

Features like cruise control etc. will hardly be used in our country, but its never bad to have such features. At this price, feature list is huge. You won't be dissappointed. You do get a "big car" feel for sure.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I like the semi-progressive punch after 1800 rpm. Seems like Suzuki has tuned the 90HP DDiS (Fiat Multijet) engine better than Fiat itself. I don't think a calm driver like me or for that matter any driver "in the city" would need faster pick-up than this. It is a fun to drive car, considering the size and the segment.

Ride Quality & Handling A bit early to comment on this, as it has been all city driving yet. But it is much much better than other Aisan cars. Far better than Hyundai cars. More Euro like suspension and handling. 

Final Words Lot of people were against me bying this car, but I was sure of what I was going for. I was buying a cross-over, not an SUV. I guess, in India people are just crazy after these pseudo mini SUVs and for that, they are ready to ditch a genuinely good product from even a veteran company like Maruti. Nevertheless, it gives a chance to people like me to look different on the road.

1.3 Zeta in under 11 lacs is a steal, according to me. And with all these discounts going on, if your budget is around 14 lacs and you are looking to upgrade, blindly go for 1.6 Alpha. It is a gem at that price.

Areas of improvement Fancy tail lights and better alloys can give something to "looks hungry" buyers.

VFM, zippy drive, space, features, "a proper cross-over"Tail lights, alloy wheels, fear of it getting 'end of life' soon
