When we went to showroom to checkout new vehicles to buy we saw a new launch by Maruti which dont have a classy look like swift and not so atttactive.But we made a decision to buy the car and it was first set of cars coming out of showroom. Everyone on seeing the car made fun on it and said back view is not good and blah blah.Now after 7 years and 200000KM car runs perfectly and never done any extra works other than regular wear and tear.
Service donot cost more and its still less than half of what other makers chargefor new cars. Mileage still didnt drop below 18kmpl, at the peak it gave 23kmpl running at 80km constantly.Car stability and control is good. Few drawbacks are only front disc, no ABS, no airbags etc its Ritz Vdi actually higher end model got all this but cost was higher.we bought it for 5.5L in 2009. If u are planning for a small diesel car then its a good choice.Buy it just coz of brand Maruti!
