Esteem is one of the best cars by the Maruti Udyog Limited. It was the most preferred vehicle in the luxury even a few years back. But today if in this category the market has a number of good competitors like the Ford Ikon, Fiat Sienna etc. However Esteem has certain advantages of a very expensive service network and a very competitive price compared to the features that it offers. I owned this car for 4 years and I cannot remember a single incident when it has given me any major trouble. The new version of the car has even better engine and fuel efficiency. Although the Ikon or the Sienna has more modern looks, Esteem will continue to have its own place in the Indian market.
