Hi, I took the test drive of SX4 today and completely bowled on the spot. This car is really Awesome or I would say incomparable in this segment “C”. Let me go a step back and explain you why I was completely flatted: Well I WAS looking for C segment car from last 2-3 months and I was researching on Web, visiting dealers and taking test drives etc. I took the test drive of Ford Fiesta, Verna, City etc and finally started the process of making my mind that there is no other option then Honda City. The parameters I took in consideration Price, Mileage, Luxury, Comfort, Brand and Resale value. I was planning to materialize my decision soon BUT Suddenly I heard that Maruti is planning to launch a new car and I decided to hold my decision for few more days. And very soon Maruti rolled out SX4. I was swimming on web to find out more and more details and I did get it. I found a comparison chart where SX4 was compared with Fiesta, City / i-Vtech, Verna, and Corolla, and SX4 was leading the chart with best height, width and road clearance 190 MM, better then any other big size car including SUV Scorpio which is min 180 MM (visit it’s site for detail). And finally today I visited Maruti showroom at New Delhi and took test drive of SX4 twice, and spontaneously decided to buy new Maruti SX4 Zxi top model. Below are some minor highlights: 1. It has a fresh jazzy sporty look 2. Extreme comfort for passenger and driver. Adjustable driver’s seat Height. 3. Full of sensors like – If you miss to wear seat belt, car will indicate you before traffic police J 4. ABS 5. Tubeless tyres with alloy wheels 6. Automatic climate control. It also tell you the temperature in out side the cars 7. Joystick control for Outside rear view mirror 8. Audio control at steering wheel 9. Airbags with releasing seatbelts 10. Euro – 4 compliance engine And many more…! Only hidden item which has not been declared by Maruti yet is Mileage. It is a strategic move by Maruti to capture the market but I discussed with dealers and user it will be some where around 12-16 KML, which seems not bad for a luxury segment car. Hope this information will help you, in case of more information visit nearest Maruti dealer only in rare case I would like to answer any query…! Open for feedback, if you feel this information is helpful, do not forget to drop a one liner at pushpendratiwari@gmail.com. Best Regards, Pushpendra Tiwari New Delhi, India

Mileage, Mileage, Mileage....I took delivery of my SX4, SL Copper last week and took it on a drive to mysore, since the first service is pending no speeding, at all. But mileage, hold your breath, 17 km/L with complete AC driving. but in the 70-80 km speed/hr on HP Power petrol. Method used, full tank until auto cutoff, again same method, on reaching Bangalore. 7.84 Lts, filled only....

The SX 4 is a wonderful car....its the best buy in its class and its much more value for the money we pay......its loaded with goodies and looks really pretty n aggresive at the same time....no car in its segment comes loaded with the safety features and the remote in the steering wheel is really fun to have .....its good road clearance and the alloy wheels eat up the indian roads with a grin...maruti has come witha good offering and honda city should be very scared.....guys go for it...

Actually the thing is that you cant really decide.. What i personally think that in this segment, fight is in between City, SX4 and Verna. SX4 is a winner in power as it has got max BHP out of the three.. City has got mileage and is the most spacious. And Verna is actually a blend of City and SX4 with power and class interiors both. Moreover, City's new model will be available very soon in market around 2008 end. so to go for city would be suicidal at this time. I put my money on Verna n SX4

Most pathetic car i ever drove.. no prob with the power n space.. but one thing is for sure that maruti cant provide luxury.. the interiors are dead as in all other maruti cars.. its only usp is its bhp n its spacious... other than that... verna is quite good than sx4 with class apart interiors..

Hi! Pushpendra/all, Gr8 reviews on ur blog... all these would definitely help in excellent choice amongst the "C-SEGMENT" war. Amongst SX4/HONDA/CITY/FIESTA/ VERNA/AVEO my personal choice is MARUTI's SX4 Zxi....... why not, since, its providing u with the luxary of a 9 Lakh sedan(Gurgaon price). Prior to SX4 my liking was Honda City VTEC, for gr8 honda's engine/ odometer/alloys and 100bhp- 8.0 Lakh, a clear diff of 1.10 Lakh and that too without SX4 features. Dipesh Singha SHIMLA
