is new desire worth the price?

Exterior looks good than old.from front view.but cut off boot is a negative.the bumpers provided at front and back are too thin and breaks even by slight hit.the old desire bumpers were  very strong.door,body construction are very light.very thin metals are used.ever thinner than my ritz.altogether the car doesnt feel strongly built.get damaged easily even by a small hit.and one have to spend quite afew bucks for the body work once damaged.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) good looking interiors.looks posh.but beige gets dirty easily.maruti has cutt off the bottle holder provided on the back doors in desire.thats a negative.knee room though bigger than the old car, still cant match with other sedans.ever lower than figo. if anyone compare the seat length and width they can realise,its smaller than even the ritz seats.if u dont believe,check out the interior measurements given in autobuild mag to campare between swift,ritz and desire.only area where swift and desire scores is in knee romm which has incresed by just 2.5cms than ritz.but is the desire worthy for all the money we pay?just for some boot but with less built strength.its my request for all to compare  in detail about all the cars than giong just for cars with image.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox performance has increased more from the old car.but its because of reduced body weight.its nearly 60kg lighter than old desire.its because of  reduced boot, light metal for body, very light weight bumpers,use of plastic fuel tank,reduced thickness of glass etc.inshort the built strength of the car is not good.typical light japenese built.due to this slight increase in fuel economy.due to use of detent pin technology in gear box, the  gear shifts are lighter.again the length of gear knob has been reduced to cut the cost. 

Ride Quality & Handling improved due to less weight.the rear suspension is softened a bit.so it is not that stable around corners.tends to get wallowing at high speeds.should have used stiiffer suspension like swift.the car is now easy to handle now.its quite natural due to less weight.a car which weighs less will always be easy to handle,but i would prefer much more solidly built vehicle than a feathery light vehicle.  

Final Words what maruti has done is,it has increased the look of the desire,both interoir and exterior,reduced its length,reduced boot space,reduced the amount of solid metals used,so by doing this company has reduced their production cost and made more profit.by reducing the length,the company has got excise benefits.but they have not passed on that benefit to customers.they will introduce a vehicle with a reduced price tag first,will create a long booking list and by the time the car reaches the customers maruti have already increased the price of the car by nearly 10,000-15,000.this is a trick maruti is playing every time they launch a vehicle.then, is their any meaning in saying that maruti vehicles are economical to buy? if they are cheap,the quality of vehicles are also cheap.maruti vehicles had a reliability earlier.but now the company knows all the tricks to fool indian buyers.people of india never realize this. we always talk about looks,mileage,0-100 etc.but have any one considered how much solidly their car is built?is their car worthy of such a huge premium they are paying? 

Areas of improvement built strength,warranty,features compared to the cost of vehicle

 

better looking interior than old. but its practicability and maintanance is a question as beige getless space interior and boot and unneccessary increase in price by maruti
