This is my first car. After doing research for about 6 months I decided to buy this car. I purchased in 31st October 2013. I had thought for the Toyota Etios but as it was very costly(but great car no doubt) then I thought for Maruti(easy serviceable). Then I spoke to my brother who was using Eon era Plus for 6 months. He said it is great car and has not given any trouble. So I purchased it. I have learnt driving in this car only after purchasing new. Now let us discuss Pros and Cons.
Pros:
Great interior and no doubt you feel proud to sit in this car.
Great steering control(power)
Wonderful brakes-it saved me many times.
I drove the car at even 60km/hr with hand brakes at half when I was learning. Yet it worked very well. During service they changed the brake pads.
Servicing is good for my dealer.
Parts not very costly.
a.c works great even when I drive at gear 2-3. Yes at steep rises there was mild problem.
space at back is great.
all materials like knobs etc are good.
Gear does not have shakes/vibrations I think that is taken care now.
extended warranty is available.
paint is o good quality.
I feel pickup is not bad at all.
I have driven upto 120km/hr without shake.
cons:
I got only left mirror.
5 people bit difficult.
car jumps a bit on holes.
ground clearance is less(like most of the hatchbacks).
mileage in city is 16-17km/hr and on express road(i use this much) it is 20-21km/hr. But this will improve after first service.
back seat space is better than Maruti but still not like Toyota etios(hatchback)
What we should do?
Wash your car regularly and polish with good shampoo cum polish. This will keep the car shining.
Get car serviced regularly.
I even clean the dust on engine carefully.
drive at 60 with gear 5 then you will get great efficiency.
hope this review helps.
