New Dzire 2016

Exterior Nothing much to write here, it sells in such huge numbers that it needs no introduction. Exterior design is not its strength.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Seats are very comfortable and spacious. Rear is a little cramped with small windows but comfortable for 2 adults and a child. I opted for safety so got one with ABS and Airbags in place of the VXI with the music system for almost the same price.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is butter smooth and you can't hear it at idle. Fuel economy is around 15 kmpl now.

Ride Quality & Handling One of the major strengths of the car is ride and handling. Very precise. A driver's car.

Final Words I was looking to replace my old wagonr. Don't like diesels because of the noise. Had shortlisted Ford Figo Aspire and Dzire. Ford certainly is better built and gives a very premium feel but decided against it due to expensive repairs and limited parts availability. Other option was Dzire which not as well built but satisfies all other criterea.

Areas of improvement In the next model upgrade, Maruti should redesign the rear seat and windows to give a roomier feel. Otherwise a perfect small car.
