    PURCHASE:
    New

    DRIVING:
    Few thousand kilometers

    Exterior The car is good Looking at few particular angles and is not in most of the angles. The chrome grill at front is not soo good and i would have liked the Suzuki's Honeycomb Grill which is there in the Swift and the current SX4.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors are pretty good and decent, when compared to the earlier cars which the current Celerio replaces, but not at par with the koreans. Space is huge and the cabin feels airy. Front seats are slender and vibrates at idle. Fronts seats offer good side support but the integrated headrest is not i would have wanted.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is good and the Power seems to be, little more than Wagon R (which comes with the same engine). First Gear acceleration is short and the engine goes into idle quickly. In city driving this car with MT is not a good option, however go past 30 Km/Hr the car accelerates and pulls cleanly in it's 3rd and 4th Gear and the car reaches triple digit speeds quicky.

    I drive all the way from Sohna Road,Gurgaon to Okhla Phase-3,New Delhi for my Work. It's approx 80 Km's a day and in peak City traffic still the car's returing an average of 19Km/Ltr with AC on always, which is fantastic.

    The Gear Shift was Notchy and coming back to first or the second gear was notchier. But we'll be used to the car if you are driving the car for more than

    Ride Quality & Handling Because of it;s high seating position, the car inspires confidence while driving and the car feels secure even at triple digit speeds, but actually it isn't. I had driven this car at 170 Km/Hr on Noida-Agra Expressway and never felt any sort of vibration and never ever felt lack of confidence on it's driving dynamics. 

    Final Words Best Car for it's price point. I had driven it approx 9000 Km's till date and hope to give my car for 3rd and Final Free service next month. Maintenance free till date and only spent for Tyre Alignment with balancing during 2nd Free Service.

    Areas of improvement Could have imporved in aesthetics of the car. But good Value for Money. With Maruti's service. It's the best fit - if you are looking for a Good/Average Looking car with great Mileage and moreover on a budget band of 4.5-5 Lakhs.

    Fuel Economy, Engine and Inside space.Notchy Gearbox, Poor Looks.
