Overall Experience I am not a user of car but plan to buy one in near future. I have made a test drive and was motivated to write my pre-owner review of this car. I have gone through the various brochures of the various models but have ultimately opted for Maruti and even booked the Desire LDI after careful examination of various pros and cons. Now I am waiting for my turn to become the proud owner of Maruti Dezire. Definately a day will come when the dealer will inform me to collet my dream car. The waiting is very beautiful because I keep on dreaming and making various plans to go on the long drive. One thing which have pained me a lot is that the features offered by Maruti in LXI, VXI or ZXI(LDI,VDI or ZDI) models are similar in all of its models irrespective of their prices. For eg the LXI/LDI versions of Maruti does not have power windows of Stereos. It can be understood that VXI Model of Wagon R have power Windows and stereo but amazingly, the LDI version of Swift dezire does not have such features whereas its price is very high compared to that of the Wagon R. I am not comparing the Engine capacity because the maruti will say that the higher price is for the engine. This version cannot be agreed because other models such as Tata Manza, Ford Figo are providing the advanced features in their cars if compared to that of Maruti. The winning point is only the services which other cars do not have. I Cannot understand that why Maruti shows  discrimination of features with their models. When someone is purchasing a higher model some basic features should be provided in the higher model as standard.The cost of power windows or stereo is not so much that Maruti cannot afford to provide in the Dezire LDI but it is pinching when such features are available in the lowers models such Alto Excite etc. The Estilo VXI have all features including the leather seats. It is understood that since this model have not become such popular therefore maruti have included these features to raise the sales of this car. The Swift models of maruti are available on the waiting therefore this opportunity is being encashed by the Company and they are offering their premium models on "as and where" basis.You have to pay extra for installing these features in your car whereas you have alreay paid a heavy amount for the higher model. Maruti have a good hold over the Indian Car Market but these cheap policies will bring a bad name to the Company.Though I have not owned a car yet but opted to stay with maruti due their good service network and positive image.I think that Maruti will consider on this point and will find to implement some positive changes in this regard. I will continue to submit my next review when I will own the Maruti Dezire in future.
