A few incidents to testify the greatness of this car:


1.05 June 2005 - heavy rain - eleven guests with full luggage in tow arrive for a wedding - Qualis can just accommodate the luggage inside - eleven guests transported in Versa in A/C comfort to the "Mandap" - no signs of strain on the vehicle


2. Surat-Dumas Road - 1.5 to 2ft water at several points during 2006 monsoon - average cars fail to clear the puddles - Versa does it effortlessly


3.Surat floods 2006 - car parked in 2 ft water - nothing happens to the car except a stuck clutch plate - freed without removing th gear box.


The overall comfort this car offers is as much as a Scorpio but at roughly 60% of the cost.Do not also forget that this is Japanese technology.


With such low sales,the car continues to be on Maruti's list of vehicles..so do not worry about it being phased out.The Zen was a very good seller but yet was stopped.Same with the old Santro.


One small tip for those complaining about the mileage - get the throttle body serviced every 15000 kms.Also check the idle rpm of the car at normal operating engine temperature with A/C and lights off - should be in the region of 800-900.

    When I came back from US I searched all across the market and found Versa is the right Vehicle that has power, space, renowned manufacturer, slick model to penetrate through heavy traffic, and needs narrow parking, has powerful duel AC, milage wise it is coparable to other big cars. All my expectations came true and I am very happy customer. One request to manufacturer to make it little stylish, People look more for style. Current feature and style will grab the whole Indian market believe me.
