Ertiga- Owner's review

Driving around in the car for last 7 days...

Exterior Except the front look, I found the car looks beautiful from all sides and angles. The shape, size and proportions are great. Maybe MS should look at this and improvise. They can sit with some good designers and see what can be done. The quarter glass in front helps in improving vision on curves. They should have provided stylish door gaurd strips (body colour) to enchance the looks.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The dash board is good and sufficent for displaying all information. Upholstery is wow. Passenger comfort is also wow with proper adjustment of seats. Boot space  is yes, less as one would have desired. As per the dimensions, space utilisation is fantastic. The middle row blower is great for cooling the last seat as well as the 2nd row, also since the control of blower is independent of front seat blower, it helps.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is very good , quite and efficient.Tried only city driving till now, but touches 80-90 easily and fast. In traffic and slow speeds, you need to downchange gears on braking, pikup is good so helps in moving quickly back to earlier speed. Gear shift is easy and good.  Steering is very light. Fuel economy: metre says 11.0 KMPL in diesel but my calculation says it is higher than that.

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent on plain road. In potholes/uneven road the body roll is more, you need to get adjusted to that (Maybe due to new shockabs??). Speed breakers are handled very well. Less fatigue in driving.

Final Words A very good vehicle from Maruti and also well designed from Interior and Exterior point of view. First time I liked a car from MS & Bought it. If MS is thinking  like this, I can expect more and better designed cars in near future.

Areas of improvement No car is perfect, as enumerated above.
