I am a senior citizen and went for the automatic. I have been driving various models of vehicles for over five decades.
After buying Dzire,(Petrol) , I realized how much Maruti Suzuki has been keeping on improving and offering advanced technology.
The car is noiseless and has excellent acceleration. It is too early for me to state that the mileage matches the manufacturers claim. Within he city its giving me close to 13Kms/Litre and should be plus four ie. about 18 kms on long outstation trips, which is below 22 Kms/Litre claimed by them. I need to run he car and can only then sit in judgment.
It has a nice roomy boot and ample leg space inside. All in all for he price I paid, I consider it an excellent buy
