One of Maruti dealers was telling me that SX4 is not doing as well as last few months as the mileage is not more than 10kmpl
and few people waiting for its diesel version.SX4 owners any comments on the mileage part??

I get around 12-13 kmpl, provided I stay below 3K rpm.. anything above that, and the engine is a fuel guzzler.. that's why I never managed to get beyond 14-15 kmpl in highways..
IMO, close to 2K per month is a decent number and shows the healthy part of the offering. And If I am not wrong, since its launch, it had been leading for quite some months, until NHC peeped up in Jan to show a record sale, and of course febraury by some 2-3 hundreds. The thing is, any shortcoming in SX4, say FE, interior plastics etc. are being compared against NHC and they tend to dominant the overall standing of the car. (which is proof that NHC is well entrenched in the segment). Whereas, people are ready to overlook the good things which are in SX4, and not in NHC. This is what Honda understood long back, and as long the car gives good FE and interiors, there are many takers.
Boy, Maruti should learn a lesson or two from Honda and ditch ABS,ABD, Airbags,Climate control etc. and concentrate more on interior design/quality and FE, and the car sure will sell more
