மாருதி சுஸுகி sx4 யூசர் ரிவ்யுஸ்

Exterior: Very Good looks, Good tall boy appearance, When you park your vehicle near other cars SX4 looks very tall and bold. Good Quality Paint used. I have purchased Metallic Glistening Grey Colour. 10 Spoke alloy wheels looks very good. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): Good Quality Stereo. Twitter effect is good, USB response is good. Missing Bluetooth connectivity but I have purchased external bluetooth unit and it works well if connected to cigarette lighter point. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: Engine very smooth and pick up is great. Performance very good and gearbox is smooth and very responsive.

Ride Quality & Handling: Ride quality is superb and handling is like cake walk.

Final Words: My Car is SX4 ZXi (BSIV) with VVT Engine. I booked the car on 27/12/2011 and got it delivered on 29/12/2011. I am very happy that I selected this car as I am totally satisfied with everything in this car. But I miss the indicator lights on the ORVMs, electrical closing of ORVMs and Multiple digital information in the dash board but Nevertheless I am happy with what is offered. The points missing are not very serious but performance wise this vehicle is topnotch. I was given freebees like Transparent floor mats, Rear Parking Sensors, Full body cover, Boot mat, Car Perfume, Leather Steering Cover, Number Plates.

Areas of improvement: Quality of tyres - makes lots of noise. Should have given low fuel indicator, Multiple digital display of fuel in dashboard. A pillar blackout. Rear view.  

Exterior I like the looks of the car when it stands near any car. she tall and man among the cars.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Features are good and practically acceptable. Space is good and 5 people can sit comfortably.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox 1.3 lit. engine is state of art. it is very silent and also powerful, VGT is amazing. Fuel economy is good. The odo of my car shows 1100 kms and it gives me 17 km/lit before first service. The gearbox smooth and as usual maruti cars need little effort to slot reverse gear.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride is composed upto 100-120 km/hr speed. I didn't go beyond this speed. The handling is superb but need to careful till you get to used with A-pillar which obstructs when you take right turn. But once you get to use to the A-pillar then you can throw the car at any corner/turns without problem with confidence. I am driving my car in hilly areas at the speed of 60-80 km/hr.

Final Words This is allrounder car. If you want to drive car not beyond 120 km/hr speed need complete family package then this is the car for you. This car will never let you down in power front as compared to any cars.

Areas of improvement Interiors should have been more up-market. Maruti dealership in small towns.

I purchased car from Vittesse, Andheri.  I had bitter experience with them.  In JulyWindshield was broken, which was replaced, & damaged my front bumper, which they havent replaced despite several reminders.  It seems they are not interested to do it.  I have sent emails toVittesee, Worli and  Maruti, New Delhi, but no response at all from anywhere.  It seems they forget the words "After sales service", once they receive the money and deliver the car.  Only intention appears to make more money by selling engine coating, wax polish, etc.   The space insite vittese workshop is so cramped, the cars mostly gets damaged, and or scracthed.  Anti rust done in January 12, at the time of deliviery was not done properly, and many areas in the engine area were found to be rusting.  They applied the black color anti rust, and the work was so shoddy that many other parts in the engine area had been stained with black color, giving it a shabby appearance.  While replacing the windsheild, the black wax for fastening the windsheild were spread inside and outside at many places.  It took them 5 days to change the windsheild.  Overall the labour work appears very shoddy and lethargic.

Exterior Its having an amazing exterior look..its an real macho type..Its having amazing exterior look..good storage for luagages..

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior was not that much apealing for this car..rear seat space is very less, not at all comfatable for 3 persons..Its having good suspensions and good ground clearence too with an appreaciable tyre thickness, so for rough rood, its fine with the ride.. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is having very good performance and power.. I got around 17-18kmpl with petrol on an avg speed of 80-90km/hr.. so thats an great deal for me..

Ride Quality & Handling Its having an good ride quality on speed around 140 also..so, this speed is an good one to enjoy your drive on highways for the this middle segment car.. 

Final Words U can give an thought while selecting in this segment for SX4.. Do proper maintanance and servicing at regular intervals..Since, maintenace for any car can give you good performance as well as average.

Areas of improvement The interiors has to be improved a lot. I am not at all satisfied with interiors. Also the rear leg space can be more for an long comfartable journey.

Exterior Its robost and musculine and gives the feeling of a sedan.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Quality of interior could have been better especialy the plastics. For people who are not too tech savvy its ok as it has very limited features on its dash unlike Verna. Space for driver and front passenger is good. Space for back passengers is better than its some of the siblings. Comfort level is satisfactory but could have been better. Boot space is one of the best compare to its siblings and some of the other competitor.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is proven and it is one of the best in its class yet could have been better as its the same DDiS engine being used in Swift, Dizire and now in Ertiga. Fuel economy is far below as claimed as per ARAI. On highway one can expect 18 to 19 kms/L and in city conditions 14 to 16 kms/L. Gearbox is ok and nothing great about it with 5 MT.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is good but it will also depend on what kind/type of road one is using. We all are aware of our Indian road conditions, unlike in Europe and other advanced countries. The longivity of life of a vehicle purely depends on road conditions. Handling is good. At high speed also it gives full confidence that I am with you. I have gone upto 160.

Final Words I found the car is very responsive.  I am nearing 10,000 Kms now and its due for 3rd free service as I had purchased in May 2012. Till now I have not experienced any major problem and completed quiet a few long journeys. My bet with SX4 is purely personal. Following were on my paper.

1. Maruti vast network of ASS

2. Basic things on dash.

3. Milage

4. Trouble free

5. Little less on my pocket

6. Simple yet musculine looks

7. High speed handling.

Areas of improvement Power of engine, power of headlamps and its quality, Ground clearence, overall look and few gooddies on the dash to be with other competitors. ABS and Airbag should be made mendatory in all variants.

Exterior It looks very muscular and eye catching. I purchased in Nov 12. Has been a very good purchase.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very confortable in seating and driving. The rear seating is positioned at a good height and very easy to enter and exit for aged people. Music system is excellent. Since I need a good sedan with driving  confort, I didnot want many features in other cars.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I have driven around 1500 kms in one month with 1000 kms within city of Bangalore and 500kms on highways. The pick up has been very good though some times I feel second gear is not enough and have to switch to first gear frequently. The mileage I am getting in city is around 14 and on highways i got 16 to 17. Over all very good driving experience.

Ride Quality & Handling Initially when I bought the vehicle, on the first day itself, I started getting rattling sound from front left side. It was very uncomfortable and next day I took to Maruti dealer Kalyani Motors, Mysore Road. I must say, the service at this dealer is really wonderful and they solved the problem withinhalf day and now that sound is no more. Due their service that, this is my third car from the same dealer and I have never been disappointed even once. Got first servicing and went for long drive on highways for around 500 kms. Drove close to 130Kmph and car was fantastic and never felt that I was drivingat that speed.

Before buying I took test drives of most other sedans line Verna, Skoda Rapid, vento, sunny, duster etc. Only verna came close to my selection. However considering its low ground clearance and expensive after sales service and spares, chose for Sx4 VDi.

Final Words Dont go with exteriors alone. It is the quality, service back up, number of service centers on road count a lot. Just got a feeling that, with every other car purchase, I was purchasing one or the other problem with the car. Hence went ahead with sx4.

Areas of improvement Exteriors can be modified.

Exterior Awesome look, its really a man's car. I had purchased this car about couple of years ago, and i fell for this the highest end model ( ppl who actually love the cars will understand my words) for others its having a macho simultaneously decent and as well as kind of a officer class look. Its having an Awesome groungd clearence which you wont be getting in honda city, PERFECT FOR INDIAN ROADS, MADE FOR INDIANS ONLY.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) I purchased the high end model in petrol without leather seat. it is fully featured from inside, wel I dont think you will not going to find anything less about it. music box is good but at the same time bad for those who like to show off from music by playing it hard, because for show off it will going to disapoint you. But the juke box is nice really nice and very clear sound you can get. I dont know about others but for me its my first sedan class vehicle so i mainly got attracted to a joy stick which is given at the drivers door. By that joy stick you can manage viewing of both the side mirrors without even touching it. If we talk about the steering wheel, its adjustable and got all the controls on it, controls like for volume of music system or changing tracks or chaning modes from CD to USB to FM anything. temperature sensor is also given to it which show the temperature in celcius. The BEST OF THE BEST part I like is the music system control panel and the knobs given for controlling AC. ITS JUST AWESOME because I'd seen the honda city's control panel and knobs they look ly an semi automatic washing machine but in SX4 its classy. and yes you'll get fastes and awesome cooling by AC upto the rear side also. space is just great. I'll suggest that once sit inside and feel because its unexplainable. Overall its 10 on 10 for total comfort section.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is outstanding, the power you get while driving will be more than great. But on the other han I have some complaints regardin fuel economy.As using AC it will give you 10-13 kmpl max in city, without AC upto 18kmpl. Gear box is too soft. ppl may complaint but I dont feel any problms, its smooth, soft and adaptable.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride Quality is awesome, I'll say take a test drive and you'll know i m not wrong. And handling part drive at whatever speed you want vehicle will not going to leave the road or it will not make you feel that its going uncontrollable. I touched the speed of 140kmhr and trust me it was in control.

Final Words Awesome vehicle.  But go for high end type or else u'll regret afterwards that why didnt you went for high end vehicle. Why i am sying this because its fully equiped.

Areas of improvement I think mileage. But still its fair enough. They shuold provide a glass holder for rear ppl also, apart from providing on gates.

Exterior Graet macho looks. The boot is a little on the higher side, blocks the rear view vision. Could be a trouble initially for reversing and while driving in heavy traffic. However, it is not something that would bother you after driving the car 2-3 times.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The stearing and the seats are very good. The dash is well placed and easy to access the controls on the music player and the AC. However, the interiour plastic quality isn't the best.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox This car has very smooth transition. If you are driving on the highway and maintain 4th-5th gear, it gave me 16.5kml with the AC. However, the overall fuel economy is only around 13.5/14 kml.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride Quality is smooth and the handling is Awesome.

Final Words One of the best Cars to go for as a second hand investment, provided you get it in gr8 condition :). Servicing is cheap and overall gives you a very pleasurable drive.

Areas of improvement The Boot obstructing the rear view is an area that needs to be looked into. The interiour plastics aren't all that great. But overall, you cannot complain much about this car once you drive it, you'll love it!!

Exterior Elegant looking which has a bold exterior which has a royal look on the roads. Looks like a MAN. Great exterior finish and a strong body.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Excellent interiors, good space to fit a family of 4. Comfort able seating both rear and front. Huge Boot space. Leg space is in the rear is the best of all the cars. Gives a feeling of sitting in an SUV than a sedan. No sedan can be compared with SX4. This is the best in the lot. A very good family car.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox High performing engine. performance equivalent to big cars with 2+ litre engines while this is just 1.6.

Ride Quality & Handling Great driving experience. Feels like sitting in an SUV. You will not like any other Sedan once you start driving this.

Final Words I own this car since 5 years and don't feel like giving up. I drive this more than my BMW. Great car for a daily use and also highway driving with family. My family loves this car.  

Areas of improvement None. Keep it original.
