I bought this car in 2016 and since then I have driven it in varied terrains like hills, highways, no roads, desert roads etc. The car was with me in ups and downs till 35000 km, but something changed after that : Pros : - Supremely comfortable. - Less fatigue on long journeys and highways. - No wobble like SUVs - Good road presence. - Good music system and speakers. - Good pickup after 100 km/hr - Good average of 18- 20km/l till now Cons : - pathetic build quality, both interior and exterior. - interior door cloth will peel off its own in 5 yrs but the same doesn't happen till ages in Honda / Hyundai - bad exterior build quality and even a dab on doors with a finger can make a dent, the doors are made of butter paper. - High repair costs and charges, all parts are replaced and seldom repaired. - Good engine but fragile engine parts, my both camshafts broke in 4 parts while gliding on the road at 20km/hr for which Maruti had no answer but,"It happens, sir" - My Trunk(Dikki's) torsion spring broke while I was half inside it and it fell on me. - The car is highly unreliable after 30000 kms and shows catastrophic failures of many parts,it feels like all organs are failing. - My fuel sensor gave away 20000 km. For which Maruti had no repair and answer. - Tiny spec of stone on the highway hit my windscreen and it made a big patch of glass. - well cover paint peels off in 4-5 yrs. - The music system won't auto-connect to the Bluetooth phone when the car is on... You have to switch it off while the phone's Bluetooth is on.

Very expensive maintenance every service minimum bill of 30k this time I was fed-up and just left the car in the Vishnu cars service station. Written a mail to Maruti but no revert yet. It's better to get rid of it and forget it. It's really very expensive on Maintenance.

This is wonderful car. I would call it Camry in budget. Had Maruti have 5 gear CVT, I would have certainly bought that but otherwise this awesome car. I downgraded from Hyundai Sonata to Ciaz Alpha Petrol And my family (wife, brothers, parents) did not feel the downgrade. Have done 55,000 KMs in 2 years and going for more

1. Good response from Nexa team, 2. Getting 19-21 on highways and 16-18 in city, 3. The performance was good, comfort was outstanding even spacious too, 4. Very low maintenance cost(paid just 41/- on my 1st service, seriously just forty-one rupee only) 5. Due to its beige interior, a small dust or spill will be an issue
