    Exterior Looks certainly decent especially when you take a look of your car a foot away from the sideways. That would be beautiful.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good comfortable seats, steering wheel, short gear change lever, rear seats have armrest, power windows are excellent. The space is absolutely sufficient for a nice family trip or even a long drive with friends. The steering is tiltable. The rear view mirrors and the aircon controls are electrically operated.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The moment you sit on the driver's seat you feel like you are the ruler of the road. It easily takes you to 40kmph to 50kmph just in the first gear and reaches 80kmph very easily. Only disappointment is that there are few trrr.... grrrr... behind the dash that pops up. This happened only when the techs replaced the condenser. Maybe they did not put back things properly. Apart from that the car is an excellent option provided you maintain it like your kid ;-)

    Ride Quality & Handling Excellent. No vibes at all. Mine was a pre-owned car that had 48k on the odo and still I feel it is a new one.

    Final Words Go for it if you have a nice deal. You will not repent for it. You will enjoy it.

    Areas of improvement Make availability of the spare parts and qualified technicians as well. Maruti should be doing something about this.

    Smooth drive, Excellent comfort, Simly high speeds,Poor availability of spares and lack of knowledgeable technicians
