    Well my Maruti Suzuki Dzire ZXi MT has been a very pleasant and satisfying experience for me over all . Its ultimate driving refinement , engine smoothness , extremely silent cabin , well balanced and stable stance , really impressive interiors , are the key notes that strike the right chord in a customer's mind. Quality of stereo speakers is also very nice if not Marvellous , that much we can say . Now , owing to its petrol engine the fuel efficiency is decent at 12.5 to 13 kilometres per litre in the typical Indian city conditions and much better on the Highways where it returns around 16 to 17 kilometre per litre moreover the AMT Gearbox ( that is automated manual transmission ) also works well , probably better than many other models of Maruti Suzuki ...... . Hence , I must say that lot of research and development has been carried out in regards to the efficiency and driving pleasure with an automated manual gearbox by Maruti Suzuki and that's really appreciable. For a compact Sedan which has to be managed within 4000 mm length the looks are quite impressive especially the the grill the Chrome work used in the area along with combination LED lamp in rear , moreover the features provided are also diverse utilitarian and satisfy most of the requirements of an indian customer . Its driving dynamics and performance are impressive , the pickup is really steady and peppy in from 0 to 80 km per hour . The Dzire AMT gains a study speed in a rapid manner the driving stability , comfort and maneuverability in various driving conditions is surely above the average standard set in the Indian auto industry . It really feels as if you are driving a bigger sedan to help achieve this feeling the 15 inch larger profile tires are a great help along with a light body weight frame . The servicing and maintenance aspect are just a breeze and there is absolutely no botheration . As has been commanding reputation of Maruti Suzuki engines , their A/ C , lights , suspension and other equipments installed ; reliability is a given and you hardly have to worry about any aspect of maintenance . A point worth mentioning is the robust quality of suspension provided in all the four wheels and the superb lightweight power steering . Now as we all have known that everything in this universe has some flaws , limitations or shortcomings ...... show the Maruti Suzuki Dzire Z XI MP which I am driving is no exception and definitely needs to take care of the following aspects in any condition : -- 1.) The metallic body as well as the bumpers are very delicate and impart a sense of insecurity . Definitely I will be afraid of taking it out on long highways , moreover on those roads which are single and don't have any divider . 2.) Fuel efficiency as claimed by the Maruti Suzuki showroom sales executives is definitely not what we get as they claim too high figures like 16.5 to 17 kmpl in the city which is not usually the case with ac fully working . 3.) The electronic instrumentation which measures fuel average is also erroneous as it gives falsely higher values of mileage in the city as well as on the highways . Real figures are always lesser than what it shows . 4.) Switching off the ignition by push button switches off the music system which is not acceptable in today's Automotive world as even the music system used in many other cars of same segment doesn't totally switch off . 5.) At a price point of around 8.5 lacs (on road ) at least there should be a definite inclusion of auto retracting outside rear view Mirrors when you lock the car by key fob or by pressing the door handle button . 6.) the power steering does not return to its original position by auto matic mechanism as seen in many other cars even of lower segments and we have to manually turn it as soon as we make a sharp turn or a " a U-turn " which is irritating sometimes .
