Default Another Suzuki joins the collection. A-star with pics.

Another Suzi to add to my garage even without a test drive - So the new Silky Silver A-Star joins the family, the car is for my mom and she has already fallen in love with it. Being a city car it is pretty peppy car for the city. Drove it for a good 100kms and its not a bad car to drive moving down from a Sx4. I would personally like to that the people at RNS-Yeshwanthpur for the quick and prompt booking and delivery of the car the experience with them, is as memorable as the one of getting the first Sx4. Will post the pics and the details shortly when my browser and computer decide to be friendly to me.

Congrats... I am surprised that you got the delivery so quick. When I inquired for the same car at Pratham and Sagar, both quoted atleast 8 months waiting period.

Please do post the pictures and review of the car.

Yes, thats what I was told when I called them. I was actually considering A-Star, but that waiting period told drove me away even from test driving it. Eventually I got me an i10 Kappa which I think is one of the best decisions I have made...

8 months waiting!!!

here is Delhi it is available same day!!! (select colors). I did a test drive at the Lajpat Nagar dealer and the guy is pestering me (calls every week) to buy one. He has promised Vxi & Zxi delivery same day (for some colors) or within a week (any color).

8 months is too much! Are they getting cars transported by bullock carts from Gurgaon!!!
