    PURCHASE:
    New

    DRIVING:
    Few thousand kilometers

    Exterior

     2014 model looks fresh, but height is too much and vision from driver seat is not that good.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

     All seats are comfortable, the plastic quality is bad, music system is not that gud, space you made end touching copassenger thigh everytime who shift to 1st-2nd gear

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

     Engine performance for city handling is good, gear box shifts is not smooth you will end up frustrastrated in changing gear frequently. fuel economy is arnd 14-incity and 17 on highway(i really wonder how others get 18-10kmpl).Gear box - 1-2gears changing is notchy it will irritate much and 2nd gear pickup is not there frequent gear change is required a lot in city/highway take over.

    Ride Quality & Handling

     Ride is bumpy when cross 60kmph, on highway you can hear the engine mated sound, power is not there when required you need to change gear. long drive is not at all comfortable. not good for driving fun.

    Final Words

     There are other better car which might be 40-50k more than this but those are worth trying, i'm sure milage won't be there in those but at the end you will not regret atleast when you are driving(forgetting the fuel).The Maruti service is not at its best rest of the competitor have better technician than maruti.

    Areas of improvement  

    1. changing the gear box.

    2. including 4-cylndr engine(if not 1.2ltr, 1ltr with 4cylndr)

    3. decrease the height and dashboard height, height adjustable seat for driver.

    4. remove cheap china made audio system.

    5. maruti service is becoming costiler and not good  - may be too many customer to handle for them.

     

    In Budget, small family cargear box, reverse gear, interiors not good, handling and body roll,
