Maruti Versa

Exterior Compact appearance with an attractive snub nose. Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Driver and co-driver are generally more comfortable than passengers in the middle and rear rows. The jump seat is very convenient to use. The floor mats at the last row did not have appropriate cut outs to accomodate the seat belt positioning.  Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox 1. All in all the feedback is good. The driver has a very good view of the road and oncoming traffic. 2. I had to have the clutchplate "skimmed" after around 25,000 km and the liner changed after experiencing clutch judder.   3. The service center seems to service the brakes each time the car is serviced.  I don't know whether this is really needed.   4.  Fuel economy in the city was 12km/l and 14.6 km/l on the expressway with AC working most of the way. Ride Quality & Handling Road holding and cornering was OK and I never faced a problem with stability. Final Words I have done 32,300 km or so in 6.5 yrs and have gone in for a Swift which I have as yet to receive.  I hope it will deliver to my expectations.  The car was a good asset and served the purpose for which I had purchased it.  Now that the purpose has been completed I have decided to go in for another car. The car has been discontinued from manufacture but I would recommend it highly. A friend also bought a new Versa after confirming with me and checking out my car and is still happy with his decision. Areas of improvement 1. The spare wheel positioning is such that it is held clamped by a cross member and the wheel is positioned such that air cannot be filled without taking off the wheel.  Hence you cannot top up the air at a service station conveniently. 2. When installing a maint free Exide battery after 6 yrs of running I found that the height of the terminal posts were more than the original battery and hence ran the risk of the terminals shorting due to the aluminium foil cum foam insulation layer that is put under the co-driver's seat. I overcame this hazard by putting a rubber mat over the battery and reversed the aluminium foil layer.Highway 14.6 km/l, Town 12 km/l ( loading around 4 persons)Bumpy ride

As I have mentioned in my earlier review, I am back with my Vashi to Goa experience to share with you. I have started the journey at 7.00 am from Vashi and reached Mapusa, Goa by 6.00 pm. Total traveled distance was 1425 km from home to Goa and Back. I have planned to keep the journey in three different driving ways. From Mumbai to Goa is the first leg, inside Goa, for sight seeing was the second leg and return from Goa was the third leg. The result was fantastic with four adult and one small kid with 60 kgs of luggage. In the first leg, I have kept the speed at 80-90 kmph @ close to 3000 rpm. With four/five different stop for refreshment, I have completed the journey of 575 km in 11 hrs with a milage of 15.2 kmpl. Inside Goa, the local sight seeing was done as per the speed limit given, as there was a huge police checking for speeding. So the mileage check for this 275 km is included in the over all coverage.But while coming back, I have decided to break the journey at Ratnagiri, to make the journey comfortable to my aged parents. We have started at 12 pm from Mapusa to cover 610 kms. I have kept the speed limit at 60-70 kmph @ below 2200 rpm. With a lunch halt at Sawantwadi, we have reached Ratnagiri city by 7.30 pm. Next morning we have started at 9.30 am and with three refreshment break we have reached Vashi at 5.30 pm. During this drive of 610 km, the mileage was about 18.5 kmpl. The over all mileage was about 15.5 and total distance covered was 1425 km.To check the max mileage possible, I have taken this vehicle for a short trip to Pune, via expressway. Keeping the rpm below 1800 at a speed of 55-60 kmph, I have clicked a mileage of above 21 kmpl in this vehicle with only two occupants. All these check were done without operating the Air conditioning. If any one having any dilemma about the mileage of this car, please be comfortable. This is your vehicle and you are best person to judge the driving condition and the vehicle. Next time if you have time to travel and want save more money, please follow this driving conditions, (mainly rpm and change the gear at recommended speed only). You will get better mileage. And about the vehicle, I have already talked about it, this is a gem of a vehicle if you know your way of use.Next visit I made was from Vashi to Ratnagiri and back. This 700 km drive was made with a night halt at Ratnagiri and back via Ganpatiphule. In side road from ratnagiri to GAnpatiphule is a state highway and road was also bad, so speed limit was in between 30-50 kmph. During this drive I kept the AC on with repeatating on/off mode. The speed limit was between 60-70 kmph @ below 2200 rpm. The mileage was 16.25lmpl, which I feel quite a good avarage. Thats all for now.Wish your journey more comfortable, safe and economical, the fuel price is killing.Sitting height, driving easehead lamp, side mirror
