The great title

Safety , power and mileage are strong key points of this car. I dont care about looks , this is what I feel when I drive. Its amazing experience and pleasure to drive. We own Vento 1.6 litre petrol Highline model for almost 3 years and my experience says sales and after-sales maintenance from the company side is GOOD.

Bad experience at Nexa cybercity Bhubaneswar.

The buying experience is very very bad. Starting from booking to deliver. Now at Maruti Service centre, here also the same experience. CIAZ is a good car but people handing Customer need more training. I can say its terrible man touch experience

Future is brink as future of Sedan is the lowest currently !!!

As the car market is more towards SUV's & Hatchback in future, I don't think there is any resale in future.... The share of Sedans in the Indian market currently is only 17% and still decreasing & Skoda has market share of less than 1 % after so many years in India, I don't think there are is a bright future.... The new prices of Rapid rider plus is Ok, but it's more of the lowest model without seat adjustment, fog lamps & carbon wheels which i think the new generation of customers will accept... Now Indian car manufacturers are on par& its better to have a higher model than go for a lower model where we get nothing....... Hope VW & Skoda wake up to this & its already too late..... I can bet more on Tata, Renault, Nissan Mahindra & ford who have a better vision against industry leaders like Suzuki & Hyundai
