SX4 - worth waiting and value for money

All of us know features and technical details of this car. Let me start with my own feeling of this car. Yesterday I got this car delivered and so far I have driven in 40Km in city traffic.

Rear middle seat-This was very bad in the demo car but surprisingly my car got good rear seat. Hand rest is seems to be corrected. I think MUL rectified this problem. Yesterday I had driven car with 5 adults (including me) + 1 kid in traffic for 20 KM. Everybody was comfortable at backside.

AC -Yes it was effective and able to chill inside

Rear visibility - Forget about this. This is not so good and I installed reverse parking senser which costed me another 3K. Now I can take reverse easily w/o depending on anybody. It made parking easy.

Music system -4 channel decent sound, though not very powerful. I was planning to add amplifier but no need. Sound is good till 75% of volume control which is 10 times more than normal human listening levels. It is not like boom-boom which can be heard upto half km. I am a DIY and have experiense of 15 yrs in this field (from tube amp to class A, AB, D and class T amplifiers). Still I will continue OEM music system.

Breaks - realy very good than HC. I can say best.

Interior - Yes, it is not as good as Honda City but not so bad. If HC score is 100 then I give my SX4 score as 80. (diffence is there only in door/dash  plastic, which scores less in SX4. Rest of metal finish, AC buttons are very good than HC)

Noise - Engine noise is not heard in normal driving, but it is noisy than Honda. (Doesn't matter for me, I know honda has best engines). tyre /road noise inside cabin is 10% more than Honda City.

Performance - Initially I felt this car is slow starter than Santro. But I observed that I never crossed 2000 rpm to reach 60km/hr speed with 3-4 gear. means power is there. (This was with 5 adults + 1 kid in the car.) I am moderate driver, not a racer. but try to keep constant speed of 40-60 in city. I have yet to test on highways.

Visibility - Some people say quarter glass is producing blind spot. But I dont think so. By properly adjusting the height of drivers seat it does not seem to be any problem.I took several sharp and big right/left turns. no issue here. overall visibility is good except rear.

Mileage - I can tell you after a week or so. I need to drive more. My impression/expectation is 1-2 km less than HC.

Rest you know from other forums.

Summary - I am happy owner of this car and yes it is worth of money. Though some feature are better in other cars, they lack safety or overpriced. Again after sells serive and availability of parts easily is plus point for Maruti. More than one dealer are present in my city means I am not on mercy of any single dealer for service. 

Regards.
