Review from Sukesh after 500 Kms

Before buying Ciaz ZXI i read lot of reviews, so that I know that my investment of over 10 lakh donot go invain. So dear all I am posting my review after 500 km usage.

I bought Maruthi Ciaz ZXI on 23.07.16 from Pratham Motors Bangalore. Before buying i have rode Hyundai Verna, Honda City, Suzuki Scross. I was owning TATA Indigo and also have driven in Swift , Swift Desire, I10, I20, Santro, XCENT.

Pros

1. Ciaz is very Smooth and noise level is the Minimal of all the vehicles I came across.

2. The Bootspace for driver and also the Leg room  for rear seaters are the best . I can strech my keg to the fullest and feel like king.

3. The driving handling is very good and you wont feel the drag or drift in sharp turns .

4. Braking system of ABS , EBD is the best in class . I have driven vehicle which had ABS but Ciaz will make you feel the entire grip of vehicle in your palm.

5. The exterior and styling is good fo me and I wont review it as individual taste is different. I have bought Dignity brown and i like it.

6. Average Mileage for 500 Kms at present is 15.3 Kms in exact with AC in city and Service person mentioned me hat only after one/two service the Mileage will improve. I am happy at present with mileage and expect to better mileage after my service. But for sedan of 4.5 mtr lenght this mileage is the Maximum.

7. The utiliy and storage space inside the cabin is very good and neatly designed.

8. Bluetooth connectivity of car with mobile is within 10 seconds. I have seen with other cars where i have to struugle to connect CAR bluetooth atleast for a minute.

9. The antenna receptivity for radio is better than my previous car (Maybe because this is new)

10. I hav not checked the top speed as its new but at 80 Km speed you feel the vehicle is at 50 km speed.

11. Electrical controlled Mirror, rear blinds, remote Bonnet opening, keyless start, Automatic climate control AC, AC rear vent, Lights in rear bonnet and at leg in front seat adds up to the class of CIAZ which many features are missing in Honda City & Verna.

CONS

1. The rear AC vent to be switched off manually and no control for rear vent is available at the front.

2. There is No gear Indicator in display system.

3. One touch Auto glass windshield is available for only driver side. All 3 doors are only electrical operated.

4. The rear blinds are manual. It can be automated.

5. Blinds can be made available for all windsheild also.

6. Six speaker in Ciaz works as 4 speaks only as there are 4 speakers at front and 2 at back (all in doors). Wofer can be incorporated.

7. The head room is sufficient but people who are 6.2" or more just check before buy as Ciaz is really sleek and Aerodyanamic.

8. Rooftop glass not available and also Daylight runlight. This feature is available in Baleno , maruthi can extend the same to Ciaz also.

According to my survey, study and understanding Ciaz is best buy compared to Verna and City. But yes City has better power than Ciaz thats true.

Thank you.
