DZire Zdi - Best in its class

Hi,
after waiting for two months i got my RED ZDi delivered on 13th June. i was told i was very lucky to have the delivery so soon so i will not go into the waiting aspect and concentrate more on the car and its features etc.

Just after taking the delivery i took the car from Chandigarh to Delhi and then from Delhi to Jaipur.  There we drove it in city and on kuccha road equally. within two days i was back in chandigarh through the same route driving 1300 Kms in 3 days with appx 800 highway driving and 500 city.

The car is a treat to drive. The diesel in very silent and there is hardly much cabin noise. The coil does not need any time to start. the wider tyres on ZDi and alloy wheels give a very solid feel to the car and it gulps ditches and bad roads quite well. the climate control is very nice - just set the temperature and the rest is taken care. During way back to Delhi from Jaipur, there was lot of rain and the demister worked very well giving a clear view. Gear shifting is no problem and pick up is superb.

the car reaches 120 kmph within a blink on higway and at speeds upto 125, it is very stable and you are very much in control. ABS braking is spot on. it just comes to stop within short distance.

The average i got was about 20 with AC (climate control) always on.
Night driving is easy as the lights are good and give a clear road view.
Steering is light and city driving is very smooth.

Ride comfort for both driver, co-passengar in front and back is very good. six feet people can sit in front and back. 3 people at the back is yet to be tested.

all in all, it is the best value for money.
The trunk is 440 litres but due to the beams it gets reduced somewhat.

The steering mounted controls are the best part. while in delhi i was easily changing FM channels without searching for the button on the control. When ever there was a mobile ring, you could mute and unmute without taking your eyes off the road.

The dial illumination in the night time is very nice. Even the illumination on the integrated sterero and the cigeratte lighter is very good. Two lights in the front and one in the middle are more than enough for night reading.
In city also, the car is giving mileage of 20 kmph.

Earlier i had to fill 1000 per week petrol. Now i fill 1000 rupees for a full month.
