It was early 90/91 when maruti brought out a maruti 1000 and that time I was a student studying in 8th std and at that time all were saying that it is a copy of Honda etc etc but By coming to india maruti make the expectation of people so high that all other old indian companys could not face the competition and wiped out from the market. At that time I thought that when I will be grown up I will buy maruti 1000 and yes atlast I bought maruti esteem vx no doubt it is is perfect car sorry a perfect premium car for indian family and if I am not wrong it was the first car in its category that is premium segment. I also have other premium car but I love to drive maruti esteem because it gives me good mileage than other and maintanance wise it is zero maintenace vehicle is one wants to buy a premium vehicle he should buy only maruti esteem and no other car.
