Got this car on Feb 10th 2011 from Popular Motors, Pallikaranai, Chennai. Dealer is very friendly and is very helpful. I have following issues while driving the car:
Sometimes reverse gear doesn’t work correctly.
When AC is ON, I can feel a bit pressure on engine.
Overall car is very nice.
Have to check mileage.
Didn’t go for a long ride till now. Will go soon and share my exp with you guys.
Back after 1st service.
I haven’t covered much before first servicing. I just did 310kms. I have complained about the above mentioned two problems to the service men. Nothing is done well. Even car was not cleaned properly.
Dust on the car was the same as I have given. There is a service card left in the car which shows cleaning and final inspection were not done. I took it to the showroom and complained about the servicing. They said it will not happen again and had some talk with service men. Still sometimes I have rev gear problem and now I think problem copy pasted to 1st gear as well.
Worst servicing. Never give car for servicing in Popular Maruti Service Center, Keelkattalai.
--> My first long drive.....
Chennai-Guntur
Guntur-Gudivada-Guntur
Guntur-Vinukonda-Chennai
almost 1200-1300kms.
Drive was very nice on NH5. Car made me feel happy. But on Village roads and pit holes road problem.
As the car body is at very low height for small speed breakers also car must be brought to complete stop other wise car base will hit the speed breakers or the front bumper will hit the ground.
Pros: Mileage - Almost 20-22 kmpl with one point AC.
Cons: When AC is ON car pickup is very low. This will be problem when we are over taking other vehicles. Mainly Lorries.
I think the reverse gear prob is fixed. I am not facing the issue any more.
Overall car is very good with high mileage and low pickup :)
My 2nd long drive:
Chennai-Guntur-Chennai = 950kms
Mileage I got was 18kmpl with 2 points AC.
No cons.
I am happy with the car performance.
