New 2018 Ciaz Sigma Manual Petrol - Pure value for money

Got my car yesterday. Initial impressions are pretty good. Ride is comfortable and enjoyable. Buying experience, initial impressions - Went for the Sigma petrol manual variant, metallic magma grey. Colour looks pretty impressive from the exterior. Car had a hairline scratch at the time of delivery which I have been assured will taken care of during first service - in writing. That being said, buying experience was good and getting a Maruti from a NEXA showroom really wows you. Ride quality, driving experience - Since it is really new, haven't really given it the beans yet. So can't comment much on the engine perfomance. Only that at the top gear, overtaking isn't a cakewalk and downshift is necessary especiallly at lower rpms; works me though. That being said, ride quality is pretty good and enjoyable. Have driven it for around 175 odd kms and averaging 15.8 Km/L as of now. Equipments and Functionalities - Regarding the equipments functionalities on offer, really impressed with the MID and the speakers. Sound system is up to the mark, no issues there as well. Haven't really seen the smart hybrid system in action much (might be due to my highway driving). But initial impressions are that it might not work as desired with manual ac in on condition. Not quite sure though. Sore points - 1. Tire Noise - OEM equiped tires are the Goodyear Assurance Triplemax, the grip being good the problem is with the tire noise. On even roads like highways it doesn't really bother you, but on bad roads, the noise becomes unbearble without music on. That being said, this has been observed as a genuine thing with these set of tires and the noise is said to come down post 3-5k kms. 2. Gear Shifting Had slight issues while shifting gears. The throws weren't ending up at the desired gear spot at times. Might be something to do with driving style and previous driving experience. Thing I would have liked to have but don't come with sigma variant - 1. Cruise control 2. All auto windows 3. DRL's 4. Auto dimming IRVM
