I I was using a SX 4 Zxi since June 2007 and was thinking changing to Automatic Transmission hence I was comparing Verna Diesel Automatc and Honda City Automatic and practically finalised with Honda City as we also have a honda City CVT in the family .
In September this year saw the news that SX 4 is coming out with Automatic version which Maruti did not confirm for a month. I put the Honda Purchase on Hold
They launched the Car in October and I was first to book the Automatic Variant and received it on 10th December as promised
I drove to Pune and back on 11th and I am completely satisfied with its performance People are biased with Honda City and pay 2 lakhs more for it My experience with SX 4 is otherwise For Bombay Pune I prefer SX 4 anytime with its Ground Clearance which Honda City can not match
The Ghats Drive was much smoother than the Manual Sx 4 which was exchanged with the dealership and I am quite happy Maruti introduced the automatic Version I got 14.5 Km/Ltr for my journey whic is nice compared to added comfort of Drive and the feel of Power! I will strongly recommend this SX4 Zxi AT variant Have just completed 3000 km in 3 months and to be precise Honda City 1.5 V Automatic costs 2.5 L more if u consider the exchange with Maruti as u get a much better deal and much cheaper after sale service and cheaper parts
