Park your worries behind with SX4 Man worth spending on.

Hi everyone,since i am gonna celebrate my White SX4 ZXi birthday in 4 days from now,i thought it would be wise of me to pen down my one year of ownership of this fabulous vehicle.

Dated:31.10.2008
I was as eager as always for the new SX4 delivery date ,ever since the idea was instilled by my mother to have a new vehicle considering old 800 which had completed more than a decade and a half.

Initially it was little hard to accustom the shift from 800 to this beast,the tall stance has always attracted me,since i am more of an SUV enthusiast than premium cars.
I was loving this car with every drive i had with it and even today.
And with such enthusiasm i had my first service in 45 days.
second one was after 6 months and last one, a month back.

All the services were well done.
Only time had me realize that no wonder the car is thrill to drive but the mileage was not the one to be boastful about.[unlike my friends with OHC,]
But Of cars in the segment and above have just fairing with an avg of 10-12 kmpl ,with mine 11 kmpl. avg with lowest being 8 [at times the way you drive the figure shoots down if you are not those happy drivers who love driving more than Racing] made me more than content for the joy of driving this vehicle which behaves always in your total command no matter what comes your way.
What i found was the number of comments from people appreciating the dash board which looked more sense than just looks,well it was futuristic with those matt chrome strips next to the centre console.

Steering was very much repsonsive at any speeds you go except the plastic feel that slips from your hands when you sweat.
Aircon is good and chills down very efficiently even at the back.[so i wont demand rear vents unless in sahara desert,yet i will welcome them]
The Electric controls for everything never ditches you.Yet it comes with a tag-I am some cheap plastic yet user friendly.

Quite comforatble are the 3 centre controls for the ac and rear defroster.
Being an avg driver i prefer my Seat to be in extreme position and yes at times the steering tilt came with a welcome note for me.
The side door bottle holders do justice.
Seats are not the most comfortable ones,specialy when you are  tired from work and driving.More specificaly on the lumbar support.

No rattles what so ever since the purchase.The engine is rock solid and maximum speed achieved with the engine is 170 KMPH on noida toll bridge,thats where you start feeling it wont reach beyond that point unless luck is in your side.
Its a fun drive vehicle in city traffic,with those hydraulic Clutch,driving seems effortless.
The engine buzzes at higher RPMs which is very much attributable to the DOHC engines whihc produce humming at higher RPMs.
JK tyres dont do justice at all with the kind of noise they produce on road while crusing at high speeds unless you have nitrogen in them.
Apart from the above negatives i feel the vehicle is worth every penny you have spend, for the VFM and the STYLE it has in offer from young to old,from ladies to a MAN.
Biggest plus is the ground clearance and the manueverability.Keeping aside the fact that the Maruti ASS has become more userfriendly than ever and even minor issues are handled carefully if brought to notice,i feel the car does fair pretty neat.

It screams of justice for more number of plus than minus.

With time SX4 has become more obsolete in styling department and needs little aggressiveness in styling from inside out.
So if you looking for a VFM sedan,i would definately recommend you SX4 without hesitation.


Gem to ride,sticks to road,manueverability and the tall stance-road looks llike that from an suv.engine noise at high RPMs,interiors dull and seats are not one of the most comfortable ones.
