I have Dzire Vxi Amt bought last year and it has been great choice since then. The car may have become a common car on roads but it's completely worth it. I believe the biggest USP of dzire is its engine which is extremely peppy and fuel efficient. The engine and combination of AMT gearbox is the best that you can get in a car of this size and budget. The engine is very refined and powerful in its low to mid range and sounds really good when rev hard. The AMT jerkiness is very well contained and the gearbox is not hesitant to downshift utimes even two gears while executing a quick overtake. No matter how you drive the car, mileage never dips down below 16kmpl in city traffic. Moreover its comfortable ride quality is a great asset to have. The steering might not be as direct and connecting for the driving enthusiats but it's very light and easy to handle which makes it a great city car to tackle daily traffic and parking issues. The suspension is quite abosrbant and ride feels quite planted at high speeds as well. The tyres though run out of grip when you try to push it hard around the corners which of course is not a daily practice hence not a deal breaker for many.
The car is quite roomy from inside as there is enough seat padding as well as leg room for all 5 occupants. The height adjustable driver seat is a good feature to get yourself into the perfect driving position. The car is equipped with Bluetooth connected audio system along with steering mounted control which offers very decent sound quality as well. The flat bottom steering wheel enhances the riding feel while full size windows help in keeping the ambience airy. All doors have bottle holders and there are enough storage spaces to help it qualify as a family car.
For passengers there are rear a.c vents, 12V socket with a comfortable rear bench which is very useful while you are using it as a family car including the boot space which can swallow two full size bags.
To conclude Dzire can easily be used as a daily commuter as well as family car for outings. The convenience of AMT is just an icing on the cake. The price, features, space and fuel economy along with the low maintenance charges makes Dzire undoubtedly the most desirable compact sedan in our country and that is shown in its sales numbers as well. Me signing off as a proud owner of Dzire, go and get yourself one!
