I own a Maruti Dzire LXi.booked in July 08 got delivered in Oct 08(Diwali).
1) Excellent leg room, superb AC
2) Awesome boot space to store your luggage,
3) Have fitted a Sony USB audio system which gives excellent sound quality.
4) While driving it gives u great comfort, u completely forget that u have taken a long drive.
5) Superb steering control, extremely comfortable seat postures
6) Excellent mileage [Did 629 Kms with 29 Litres of Petrol(HP Power)] with AC on highway run.
7) Pleasureable torque induction while driving betn 50- 70 Km/Hr
8) Powerful pickup
9) Rear view is not at all a problem if you know how to take judgement from mirrors
10) Braking control is also good it can be improved with induction of ABS in lower models also.
You wont get mileage if you drive the car at 100 Km/Hr right from day one. give it 3000 kms at 50-60 Km/Hr and then see the difference.
