Its been a month with the Maruti Suzuki Dzire Zdi.

Few observations:
1) Got 18kmpl before the first servicing[city] with 50% AC.
2) Getting around 19kmpl after the first service[city].
3) Quite satisfied with the car.
4) Starting up a slope you feel the clutch shudder [as pointed out by other members.] Also feels as if something is preventing the car to move ahead freely. Although it happens for a brief moment.
5) Once in a while, when you engage the first gear with fully depressed clutch, you feel as if the gear has been changed with half clutch and can feel a slight jerk.
6) Automatic climate control is good as you can set the temperature to a comfortable level. One complaint here is that even if you keep the air-vent at 'inside-air-circulation' mode with the blower blowing at a minimal level, it manages to bring in some smell from outside [for example, if you pass by any beautifully laid intra-city sewage canals that you come accross so frequently in Bangalore, you would come to know how it smells like].
7) Personal opinion is that the headrests are unusually long. Could have done with something smaller. This I am saying cause if am sitting on the rear seat, I would personally like to have a good view of the road ahead which is not possible with such large headrests.
8) The lever to tilt the front left seat came off on the very third day.
9) Waiting period is a serious let down.
10) Last but not the least, got this vehicle for the shear VFM in the diesel category with some of the top end features like ABS and airbags and the fantastic diesel engine.

Will keep updating more in future.

Another small update:
The adjustable steering is a good comfy feature but when you tilt the steering to the lowest position which I found very comfortable to drive in, I cannot see most of the things on the console. Personally I always change the gears based on the speedometer. So I would have loved to see an additional digital speedometer like the Honda Civic on top of the dash. Also the turn indicator audio is hardly audible and sometimes I miss it and forget to turn it back[in situations where it doesn't automatically do it]. I would also reccomend a height adjustable seat for the co-passenger as my wife keeps complaining that she feels as if I am sitting on a mountain. The built-in music system doesn't seem to have a fast forward button when you are playing a CD.
