A worst Nightmare in Blu

My uncle Bought this car after doing lot of research in this budget category, finally he decided to go for this car Since it was newly launched. We got this Car delivered in April 2019. It is such a good looking car. During the month of June i'm his niece and his son and daughter in law went for a short trip to a nearby Hill station. the car was pretty new and the kilometers driven was within 2K and thought a long derive would be good for both the car and us. all of a sudden in the middle of a lengthy traffic, the car was down, and we were struck in the middle of the road . After many attempts the car didn't start and we manually pushed it aside with the help of passerby. And after 6 hours of waiting we have got the road side assistance and the Tuck vehicle arrived, it was almost dark and out of nowhere with a girl by our side. the next day we gave verbal beat down for the dealer who sold this piece of trash and made us suffer. They convinced us by saying this is a rarest complain and we are very sure this will be your last trouble for some time. after the delivery it was going well and Yesterday 8/9/2019 I have received a call from my Uncle telling that the car stood still and didn't take off in middle of an express highway due to fuel leakage from the hose takes petrol to the engine when he tried to start the fuel was flowing like anything out of the hose, clueless Uncle who is senior citizen along with my aunt sought the help of the passerby and got the car moved to the sides, they stood there for some 5 hours to Reach home after the recovery arrived after 3 hours of the complaint. and this morning what we got is again a lame answer and a mere excuse. after 6 months of Driving this within 5K we have come to a conclusion and we are no longer going to ride this car. they promised for a corrective action from Ford India, but since its not reliable anymore we have decided to exchange it to a better car company and to sue Ford India. our Negligence is their advantage. one of the worst experiences with a car we had in our entire life. with all right i will not suggest you this car ever. go for Hyundai or Toyota. Note my Uncle Was a central Govt Driver Who served for 45 Yrs for Commerce Dept. and retired. A seasoned Driver who holds an heavy license and badge. We know things can go wrong in a single car due to manufacturing defects but aren't we living in an age of absolute quality control and quality assurance.

SUZUKI STINGRAY is a Comfortable allrounder.

<p><strong>Exterior</strong> Good headlights, foglights, sporty spoiler, good front grill- face (at the moment) till you see more stingrays in 2015.</p> <p><strong>Interior (Features, Space &amp; Comfort)</strong> Very spacious, comfortable, high seating, &nbsp;good black Interiors, Stingray branded seats. I am enjoying the Music, I have installed a Alpine receiver/Usb/Aux (i did not want a CD. All the clutter to keep Cds) The Alpine is made for Stingray.</p> <p><strong>Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox</strong> Superb silent engine, In Mumbai traffic &nbsp;average of 18.8 km/ltr. In the mornings 20.7km/ltr &nbsp; on Highway with 4 adults includig driver and luggage gave me a mileage of 22.6Km with AC I Travelled 1200Km on Highway . (my old wagon R used to give me 17/ltr on highways)</p> <p>Gears are Ok and smoother</p> <p><strong>Ride Quality &amp; Handling</strong> Comfortable, smooth, but still I feel the tubeless tyeres are a bit hard in comparison to tube tyres, I fill a pressure 36psi in all tyres. &nbsp;may be after the first service all will be well, &nbsp;I have made 11900 km .&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Final Words</strong> If you are young or young at heart just go-for-it or wait for the automatic which is going to be in the market soon.</p> <p><strong>Areas of improvement</strong> The car inner ceiling (roof) is a light color, I am afraid it can catch dust very easily, this is subjective, but I feel It should have been a Dark color or deep grey. All features are well planned in the LXI, except for the side mirrors, should have been controllable by a joy stick from innerside.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>Fantastic fuel economy, smart features, spacious, Good black sporty interiors, smooth drive.Tacky floor mats ( I bought new ones from online-shopping)
