Marutis all-new Esteem as they call it, has really improved upon its old and boring looks. Now it is really good looking and combined with its price tag, I guess it is a great buy. I have taken Test Drive and it feels GREAT. Thought I might share this information with all.
Combined with the excellent service network of Maruti and the ever-existing reliability of Esteem, I think it is a Great First Big Car. I am planning to buy it within a month.
