Good car for a middle class family

Exterior After a long wait , with lot of excietment,  Maruti launched a new Sedan - Ciaz, we were lucky to get delivery before Diwali.

It looks a hybrid of SX4 and new City and it doesn't impress you on exteriors however you will not be disappointed by its first looks. .

After a more thorough examination you will find it has some good exterior features like telescopic headlamps, indicators on ORVMs (internally adjustable) in lower versions also like that of mine, etc.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) What impresses is greaaattt space both in front and back. I drove down to Jaipur from Delhi and back with my family and It was a great confortable drive for us. Including me, we were total five members (we all are tall in my family) in the car and no body complained about the discomfort. Great legroom and not to forget its extra spacious boot.

My car (Vxi+) is definately loaded with many features which are usually not found in many cars at entery level versions. Finishing inside is also good, Maruti should have more focused on finishing on the interiors of doors which gives cheap plastic feel. 2 din music system with 6 speakers is really beauty.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Except for its hard transmission, driving Ciaz is a pleasure. Till now in 11 days I have driven it around 850Kms and the average of around 17Kms/Ltr has come as a pleasent surprise to me. If it is 17Kms/Ltr in the mixed condition w/o even first service than who needs a diesel car.

Though petrol engine is just OK, however sometimes it lacks in power and demands for a slightly more powerful engine.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is good. Can't comment much on handling except being lengthy, car needs to be driven with extra care on roads to avoid any brush-ups.

Final Words Maruti has come out with a good sedan which is feature rich at a very very competitive price. Looking at its price, its minor shortcomings can be easiely ignored.

Areas of improvement Engine pick up..and some on exterior..over all the car is very good and if u want ot purchase it once u should purchase this car for maximum u can hold this car for seven years.
