    DRIVING:
    Its my mate since ages
    My change of view for MARUTI SUZUKI,I was in Engg. hostel(outer state),i got call from my parents(P) saying we bought car, i asked which told Dzire, i said which brand- suzuki, i suzuki, why suzuki, there is many other good brand then why!. Actually father wanted to buy as surprise birthday gift for ME(oct 20+)& MOM (nov 1+). Which was supposed to be delivered on or after my birthday(when i was at home). But the order of Dzire went soo high that it got delayed to December.[YA THE DEMAND WAS ACTUALLY SOO MUCH HIGHER THAN WHAT MS COULD SUPPLY, 4.5 MONTHS OF WAITING]. But well if it was delivered on my birthday i wouldn't like it much! Why ?:- My view for Tata and Hyundai and Toyota. [{Before (1995,me 3 y) when we were joint family(2uncle+1aunty+dad+dadi+4fuis+8child+fuis husband and extra members). My uncle bought sumo and other uncle had school 8 seat van(omni probably) both bought second hand. In around 1995 just for long trips. And we children didn't like the small van. We loved sumo last row. It was the children's pre booked place. With child lock(removed inside door handle)! Both cars did trips of over 200to 600+ kms one way and return.}][After separation of family we(dad & 1uncle) moved from old home in new but separate house. We continued those trips, but family become bigger then in around 2003 dad bought 2nd hand indigo (FULL FAMILY TRUSTED TATA), SO that we(dad me bro and mom) own an personal car and there wont be lack of space. We continued those trips until 2008 until the big daddy sumo gave up from engine head AGAIN!, Head leakage! this time there were no spares available even from the biggest kabadi wala.! Full engine was to be replaced to no avail. KABADI WALA GAVE TIP:- WE HAVE TO GIVE UP ON SUMO,WE GOT NO CHOICE Either to spend more(which we did once) on repair which has no guarantee. Or sell it as scrap. And get the money. Uncle did cheap repair which run another year and then the engine gave up on trip itself. But slowly and steadily we completed trip and as soon as we dropped uncle took it to that kabadi wala. MARTE MARTE ATAKTE ATAKTE PAUNCHA KABADI WALE K PAAS. THE LAST SCENE WAS SO HEROIC.(I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING FOR REPAIR). And after we did trips with remaining 2 cars with as much people it can fit. IT HAD SERVED ITS PURPOSE TO US. AND REACHED ITS DEATH PLACE.)] Now with growing family separation trend we don't do trips anymore with others. We do in bigger occasion by mini bus. Now we had indigo is diesel until 2014 when it started giving clutch gear problems, engine was perfectly good, just needed bodywork paint and starting issues if kept for too long, Many times had to give push which was no problem if i was in town no embarrassment(no one had car in whole area)., But when we had to shift to daman city, pushing was shameful as many had cars and all had new, our neighbors told to get it repaired or buy a new one. So dad bought new Dzire and kept indigo to hometown to our uncle to use (had his omni scrapped and other uncle bought cng alto/800).in 2016 indigo registration was about to be expired and car was in no condition to be renewed, so we sold to scrap as no one would buy car to repair even if prices kept 80000, some scrap repair business came and took for 35k. Ya engine was still working but gear wiring(mouses) and clutch was gone. And body paint started to get cracks(we didn't attended for care, it just sit under tree and cover) and stopped using it after gear didn't worked. Now in 2022 Dec its (DZIRE)8 years will be complete, with current odo 90k, and we will run for its complete life(i think 15 y) until 2019. If it runs. And if serviceable.(Even if it runs for 15 years its odo will not cross 2L). Until now there has been lot of body work (insurance claims every year for period of 5 years). No major accidents just bumper touching by either reverse or parking in high walkway(thanks to over qualified civil engineers). but every door work has been done including both bumpers and boot lid.(under insurance, its not accidental but its new and shiny) [Tip:- if u want to keep your vehicle for full reg period.:- Do early service, use genuine oil, go to good known non cheating mechanic and do repairs+ service in front of u+ if body scratches/dent expose metal do body work asap before it start rusts(it also looks accidental/ugly. Clean clean- once in six months clean under body specially after rainy seasons. If u didn't do full flooring + leather seat- do it. I use flooring+ company rubber mats + 3d mats for dust cleaning.(similar to bowl- just pick up full mat with dust throw it. Don't need broom or vacuum. 3d is enough + microfiber cloth both for inside and outside. Tyres:- PATTERN:: 1)50k FRONT 2 WEAR OUT, Bought one and used stepany,and use best worn out as Stephany 2)65k one of the rear got torn because life worn/cracks so had to replace both and kept new in front wheels. So a total of 3 tyres bought with Stephany kept old tyre.(will replace as soon as one of the tyre gets worn off.) Used Mrf for long lasting (bit has prone to punctures(may be i'm unlucky)) Electricals:- all covered under extended warranty and insurance. After it twice the bulbs were replaced(gone to mechanic on long trip and he used incorrect wattage, the bulb fused burning the holder. Then used correct wattage and replaced the other too(180/-) halogens are cheap.! Once battery, and starter and egr fault after warranty. Other :-Suspension/steering rack rust+ clutch plate+ suspension noise cost 25000/- which company told to replace not repair for cost of 45+ k.(tak tak taka tak sounds on gravel like. Ruff roads). Once gear lever was out(1-2 gear not working happens sometime ) costing 150/- with coolant top-up oil top-up and greasing with local mechanic. Other than this there has not been any repair Now condition is ok, just 1st gear doesn't engage when needed in uphill, so clutch worning out faster, and sudden high revs without pickup/overshoot while accelerating( may be clutch or turbo). Which is rare according to my driving style.
