2019 మారుతి ఎస్-ప్రెస్సో

This is my first car. The buying experience was so - so, the dealership tried to upsell a lot of things, and we had to cut down on some and settle for some essentials. The performance of this car is amazing. The car is quick and nimble for city traffic. It is best suited for city travel, though the mileage you may get in city conditions would be a bit low. On the highway, it does give enough power to maintain a steady 100kph, as long as you drive in a straight line. The taller body doesn't inspire much confidence during turns though, for a comfortable experience, 60 - 80kph is the sweet spot. The power provided to the wheels is ample to make those overtakes be it in the city, highways, or even ghats. For steep climbs, it is recommended to drive in 1st or 2nd gear, 3rd if you are being adventurous. You will enjoy driving this car, thanks to the power it packs. 3rd gear is the sweet spot and offers a wide band of power. In case you are a fan of launching your car, this is the perfect one for you, the well-tuned 1L engine combined with the light weight of the car, lead to an amazing pickup. The boot space is decent for the size, the rear seats can be folded for more space, and I have personally hauled a whole bunch of stuff (2 stand fans, 3 chairs, and 3 mid-size boxes) in a single long-distance trip without much trouble. It makes for a great first car. Service can be a bit pricey if done from the "official" channels, however, given the simplicity of the car, local mechanics can pretty much fix anything if required. Some negatives of the car are poor safety rating, and lack of rear power windows even in the highest trim (like seriously Maruti Suzuki?). The center-mounted instrument cluster is annoying. If you are driving with parents or anyone perhaps, they can see the speed and pretty much everything. Most cars have clusters near the steering wheel, this car kinda trains you to look for the speed and other info right at the center, this can be troublesome in the future once you move to a different vehicle. It does take time to get used to though. The controls for power windows are given on the center console instead of the driver-side door. It's a great package for the price and the power is amazing, fuel efficiency is half decent in the city, but amazing on highways ( I have gotten 20+ kmpl on multiple occasions).

Car excellent in condition . In city running very smooth, spacious . In average context its amazing , seating is good . Being top model lacks some. Features. but over all 5 stars. Cons Maintenance is very low. power windows lock not available. Up and down seat adjustment not available
