Recently I did test drive of new SX4 manual VVT zxi version. I am impressed with the ride quality as compared to earlier SX4. Now drivers seat is very comfortable and it gives feeling of riding SUV(when adjust at top position) and gives feeling of very big luxury car( when seat position is adjusted at lowest position). In new SX4 engine is very smooth and maruti has worked on gear box also. Rear seats are now more comfortable for 3 persons. It gives all features in 8-8.5 lacs(on road).
The best part of this car is that it has MARUTI tag.
Its spare parts are very cheap.specially in India every car requires regular maintenance so its a major positive point.
Now come at ford fiesta SXI .it really gives pleasure while driving this car. Engine is smooth.it also offers every thing at same price except automatic climate control.but I am not confident about their after sales service.
I use to go on long tours most of the time interior parts of india.(not cities) in such situation I believe in Maruti service.so suggest me in choosing.
