WOW

After over 5 months of intense comparison, test drives, searching queries etc.I finally bought a SX4 about a week back. After driving it for a week now I have to congratulate Maruti Suzuki for giving us a superlative product at the right price and thereby showing the other car manufacturers that a great car need not cost the earth.

While researching various options avilable, prior to my purchase, review, road tests and "which is better SX4 or Honda City comparisons" the only plus point ascribed to Honda City was its so called "refinement" and "great interior fit and finish" and these plus points made me wait for over 3 months to decide which car to purchase.

And then I test drove both the cars under similar consitions on the highway. I test drove a one year old, a six month old, and a brand new demo SX4. The Honda city that i test drove was a demo car about 2 months old.

The SX4 beat the Honda in almost every department. To list a few pros:

1. I felt like the king of the road, pot holes were decimated, speed breakers meant nothing to the SX4. The power of the engine made overtaking the 16 wheelers on the highway childs play and the ABS/EBD saved a two wheeler that was bombing towards me on the same lane (it happens on indian highways) from being squashed.
2. The aircon was fab at 43 degrees celcius of Uttar Pradesh.
3. There were no rattles even in the one year old car. The throttel response was just great in all the cars.
4. Steering was steady at high speeds (I drove upto 110kmph).

I could go on and on but suffice it to say its a GREAT car and Maruti deserves to be congratulated.

And who cares about milage when driving it makes the man behind the wheel feel "you have the power"
