Well making it a tough decision for me. Also it seems from the report that the Maruti Dealerships are not very proactive in selling this car.

One question here: What are the chances of a Versa to topple down in high speed turning?
Nice to see that you are confused !!!!!!

Some Versa owners and have used it at 130 kph on Expressways.Wider profile tyres have helped as their reports suggest.

I have turned my car at right angle turns(not smooth curves) at about the same speed as I did with Esteem or Corsa or Aveo and found the car mighty stable.

A very strong crosswind it affects the car a bit(have experienced it myself) but in normal circumstances I have driven mine till 100 kmph and have found it rock steady. Drive it responsibly and you will have no problem.

You can see a photo of my car on my garage . One can always beautify a car to one's taste . I have dressed my car up to suit my taste and the ex owner and his son look at it with awe everytime they spot it on the road.

Yes,Maruti and their dealerships have killed this car because of their lackadaisical approach.A little more effort from Maruti to spruce up the car(as they did with the Wagon-R and the Alto) would have ensured this car succeeds.Even now the multijet diesel which does duty in the swift/DZire can be used in this car to make it the taxiwala's choice.Remember the Tata Winger which is more of an ugly duckling is doing good.
