Hi,
After waiting for 8 weeks and endless calls to the dealer i got my SX4 ZXi on 19 Sep 07 and was on the road ...................1st thing first i drove down from Delhi to Dehradun maintaing a steady speed between 60-70 kms and i got the average of 13.2 kpl. This puts to rest the worry about the milage of the car.
It was after a lot of delebration and repeated test drives of Honda City, Verna, Aveo and Sx4 i have decided to buy Sx4 because
(a) Sporty look, well defined body lines
(b) Safety features .ABS, EBD, air bags, tubeless tyres,
(c) Upmarket feartures like audio control on the stearing wheel.
(d) Alloy wheels
(e) Climate control ...............Aircon very effective
the list is end less ....if we start comparing SX4 with other cars available in the same segment.
The ride quality is very smooth and the car moves to the touch of ur fingers. Dehradun is not a city of wide roads ........most of the roads are narrow where only two cars can pass each other with lot of slow speed manouvering and the cars moves so smoothly and navigates narrow streets and bylanes its a delight to drive it....................... The rear view visibility is more or less the same in all the c segment cars just drive for a few days and u will get used to it.....one has a option of installing sensors which are available for 4000 to 5000 rs.
The rear armrest was a bit too big for the seat which has been taken care of by installing good quality tight fit seat covers. .......................
The only point Maruti missed out was ....................they should have provided a little better interiors .especially the seat adjustment lever, joystick for rear view mirror (the plastic finish could have been improved)
Its is good value for money and is going to be the king of Indian roads........................MEN are BACK.
Enjoy your drive
regards
