awesome car for the mid sized cars.......to good to say the truth......very fuel efficientsteering wheel not adjustable problem,no folding of rear seats

its been 3 years since i own my esteem VXI BSIII and i was just on the bringe of  a change ; had my car reconditioned engine tuned up feel like my horse has just got younger.

 

though i must say for close to 5.5 lacs tht i paid to maruti they gave me the cheapest possible plastic interiors and lot of vibrations in bumpers and window.

the vehicle is still gr8 and fantastic ; though a bit sluggish compared to new super powers but yeah  no power is enough for a man ...

summarizing ; all you esteem loves ; dont sell your good horse yet !!!!!

you never know maruti might come back with it  some thing bigger powerful yet similar !!!

Exterior

 The esteem may be dated but it is still very propotionate especially with the spoiler and it make the compact sedans of today look like boxes with headlights. The desigh that was once striking is now common and not given a second glance. But although not striking, eye-widening or jaw dropping, it is pretty and you'll still be pleased everytime you look at it.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 The interior is dated as well but like the exteriors, not dissatisfying. There is still good legroom and adequate headroom but shoulder space is tight and three will struggle to fit in the back. Equipment is decent though; you still get luxuries like air-con, a stereo that can play mp3, height adustable driver's seat, power windows on all four doors and a rear armrest. A large glass area helps give better perceived space and reduces claustrophobia. Ergonomics are decent as well. Overall a contemporary and comfortable interior - for upto four people.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 The Engine is Fantastic. It is punchy and responsive. It may come from a time when dinosaurs walked on the Earth but it is by no means inferior to the engines of today. Thanks to its astonishingly light kerb weight and the power of the engine, it has a power to weight ratio of almost 100 Ps per ton. That makes it faster than its successor: the swift dzire. The power delivery is amazing. Torque is well spread throughout the rev range so whenever you put your foot down it has pulling power and a strong surge. It is not that loud too... when you drive normally. But when you drive it hard it becomes louder and more sporty. It is overall an epic engine. The gearbox is great too. It is slick and has well chosen ratios. Despite all the performance though, it remains frugal, doing an impressive 15 kmpl overall.

Ride Quality & Handling

 The ride is supple and comfortable. High speed stability is spot-on and it is planted. The suspension absorbs almost all of the bump and you fell very little. You hear a lot though. The suspension noise creeps in over very sharp bumps. But overall it is very comforatble. But the handling is simply epic. The Swift Dzire handles brilliantly but this is better. The chassis is sublime the, hydraulic steering is delightful to use and the driving position is perfect. It grips well too. It handles better than the Dzire mostly due to its lighter weight and its independent suspension. It is joyous, mesmerising, brilliant and wonderful to drive and you will look forward to driving it in a great driving road.

Final Words

 The Esteem overall is a staggering car. It has all you'll ever want and need from a small sedan. It is an epic car and a more than worthy predecessor for the Swift Dzire.

Engine, Drive train, Handling, ride, smart looksNot comfortable for 3 in the back, suspension noise can be heard over very sharp bumps

Exterior Same old dyes used to create body parts. They start getting rusted pretty soon. I saw the same problems in Esteem as it was with my first vehicle Maruti 800 over a period of time. Body is very light. Dents are pretty bad if got hit by an Auto also.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors are quite old but still pleasant. could  have been improved. Fan speed is very low in the compartment. Mostly seen people installed secondary fan.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox All Aluminium Engine is very good but having an average of 11 KMPL only, Gearbox is not good, I have had and am having Clutch issues.

Ride Quality & Handling Frequent Knocking at lower speeds. Need to increase race when starting the vehicle on first gear. But Road handling is very nice.

Final Words Still value for money.

Areas of improvement Exterior body needs to improve. Body got rusted very soon. I can very bad on that part. overall quality of parts needs to improve.

One of the nice models from Maruti brand, comfortableLow fuel efficiency, interiors are still the old fashioned, knocking at low speeds
