Review After 2500 KM by Bhuvan Pahuja

I have bought ZDi+ version in Grey color on 28 Oct’16. I am using this car for daily commuting to office and within city during weekend. I am very pleased to write this I am loving this car. This is my first Diesel vehicle but I never complain about Engine noise since All Honda vehicle are creating more noise than this.

Exterior: - I am happy with the Exterior design of this car although there are few points which can be included atleast in Top variant but still I am happy with the design of this car. Few points I want to highlight to Maruti for further improvement:-

1:- DRL is completely waste since nobody can recognize whether it is off or on in day time.

2:- Car Side mirrors should get automatically closed whenever engine is switched off but we need to manually make it foldable.

3:-Basic accessories like Mud flaps, car mats are still not provided in Top variant.

4:- Door handles should be chrome finished

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort):- I am very happy with the Space, driving comfort and features of this car although there are few glitches which can be easily rectified other than that I love this car. Let me point out few pros and cons of this car:-

Pros:-

1:- I love the Cruise Control and speed control system provided on the steering of this car.

2:- Auto AC is working perfectly fine.

3:- Maruti has given enough lights in dash board, vanity mirror and inside the cabin and boot which is making our life so easy.

Cons:-

1:- Parcel tray is not fixed it is continuously creating noise whenever you driving on bumping roads.

2:- Rear AC (atleast Vent) should be provided in this car.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: - I am driving this car almost 100 KM daily and getting a mileage of 23.5 to 24.9 highlighted in Mileage meter. I am not a racer but very much satisfied with the Engine performance. I never felt a low power while overtaking any vehicle.

 

Ride Quality & Handling: - Fatigue free ride till date. Car handling is as expected quite controllable. After riding 2500 KM I am very confident to take this car on long routes.

 Final Words:- I had booked this car on 12 July 2016 and got the delivery on 28 Oct’16. I can say it is worth waiting for this car if you really want to but a Compact SUV. I am liking this car and will share my feedback after 10,000 KM again.

 Areas of improvement:- Please take a note of all pain areas which can be easily rectified in the upcoming models. 

1:- DRL should be replaced with Baleno since the current one is completely waste.

2:- Door handles should be chrome finished and basic kit should be provided in TOP model of this car.

3:- Rear AC and Parcel tray issue should be fixed.

 

4:- Car side mirror should be automatically closed whenever engine is switched off.

5:- Waiting time should be reduced to 2 weeks.

Awesome Design, Great Fuel Economy, Stylist CarParcel Tray is creating noise, Rear AC is missing
