It is my first car and I am absolutely loving it. I have started trusting this car. Trust is kind of big and heavy word. I totally mean it. I had a very close encounters where desperate pedestrians jumped in front of my car and the breaks just did the task they are supposed to do. Perfect balance and absolutely great breaks and handling.
I get the sense of safety when driving it. Safety was my first priority. And no other car could beat it at this price range. It's loaded with all safety features.I took top end petrol model.
Since it is my first car, I was very nervous about how would I drive it. Now I already drive it around 600 KMs, just in city, city called Bangalore, known for it's horrible bumper to bumper traffic. I am very much comfortable in it.
My advice: If this car is in your budget, and safety is your priority, and you want to enjoy the ride, go for it. If resale and milage is your priority, you know nothing beats Maruti.
