Well I have recently purchased a new Maruti Esteem VXI by getting inspired by Advertisement on TV “My daddy have a big car” ;-). But you know what, its really a big in his range. It’s big as per Comfort wise, Space wise, Mileage wise and some how look wise too. Before owning Esteem I have driven couple of cars, like Cielo Nexia and Tata Indica, but Esteem is great among all those. In fact we can say that Esteem is designed as per our Indian road conditions, and it perform better then any other mid range car on bumpy Indian roads. And most notable thing is that Esteem performs far better then any other car on high attitude areas. Last month I have driven my Esteem Delhi to Kedarnath, and u wont gona believe I didn’t face a single problem out of it.
But still there are some problems which irritates me a lot in this car:
Dashboard makes noise. Doors start making noise after a good bumpy ride. With AC on car starts loosing its power on hilly drives. ( I am comparing this point with my previous car Ceilo Nexia).
Rest this car is an ultimate option to go for. Good colors are Pearl silver, and newly launched Maroon color.
Some facts about this car:
Mileage on Highway: 16 – 17 KMPL (Without AC) Mileage in City: 13 – 14 KMPL (Without AC) No. Of valves 4 / cylinder Engine: Piston displacement 1298 cc (Almost 1300 CC) Only 4 Peoples can sit comfortably. (Because of Arm rest in back seat)
