have been using a versa DX since sept 2003. have done 50,000 km till march 2007. lots of mid range trips from delhi to chail, barog, agra, ranthambhor, nainital, kasauli, paonta sahib, haridwar, rishikesh, dehradun, mussourie, etc. but the longest was delhi- udaipur, 670 km nonstop, in about 11 hours. absolute treat to drive the versa specially between 120-140kmph. good and commanding riding position, very sensitive steering, excellent pickup. regularly raced with safaris, scorpios and lancers on NH 1 and NH2. the versa can hold its own up to 100 kmph before loosing out. the biggest limitation on the flip side is the mileage which varies from anything about 10 kmpl to 13.5 kmpl depending on driving conditions. capacity of a big car to cruise endlessly. did a quick stretch between udaipur and chittorgarh of around 105 km in 50 minutes flat without batting an eyelid. my daughter prefers to take a blanket and cuddle up in the rear seat when i usually drive on long trips. she actually prefers the versa to our house. maybe it does feel like a home on wheels. we are currently trying to pick our next car and the choice invariable boils down to a versa DX, maybe a DX2 this time. at the cost at which it comes along with the standard features like power/ this and that and a hurricane type single ac very few cars can come close. this time i'm only waiting for some vibrant colours before i buy one again.

    You may refer to the very first review on this car posted by me at CarWale.com. I am now convinced that the real reasons for Versa being fairly “uncommon to see on road” are that it has no diesel version (typical expectation from a MUV), its somewhat low mileage and a bad market positioning by Maruti, making this wonderful Versa the most misunderstood car. It will be my pleasure to have your personal E-mail ID for sharing experience and views.

    u have not indicated the model- whether it is the non AC one or the DX, DX2 or SDX. is it from maruti true value or a general dealer or direct from user. 3.0 lacs for 500kms for DX or any other high end model is pretty good if the condition of body work, interiors is ok and the engine has not been damaged. just make sure it is not an accidental vehicle. if it is a non ac vehicle then the price is steep.

    at 62,000km my versa needs a fresh change of tyres. planning to go in for 165R13 michelin's tubeless tyres. any suggestions. mainly plan to use it for highway intercity driving. stability and safety prime concern.
    The headlights are one of the sore points for such a fantastic MUV. Like having an F-16 with a blind fold. suggestions...suggestions...

    y not versa come with lpg fitting,it is truly a family car.and if company do something to increase its mileage definitely it will be another maruti 800 for middle class people.
