But dont worry, the car is still the best in its segment and is superb VFM.

It depends, for me Logan is VFM & best in its segment!

I am not talking just SX4 numbers, this was an example... overall sales have only increased for Maruti so where have the sales shrunk?

I think you better check it with the dealer, because I have driven both Swift ZXI & SX4 ZXI at 120 kmph taking my hand out of steering and it does goes in a straight line and can be driven in a single hand with greater control. I was having problems with the Swift at cornering in slow speeds where I have to put more effort on the steering.

Personally speaking, if Maruti were to increase the price of Swift any more now, I would be more than willing to spend my money on Getz.

If Maruti increases the price of swift to improve their quality and in that case if you would go for Getz may i know the reason for it other than the price factor? Is it because Getz is far better in terms of quality when compared to swift? If the answer is yes then this is what GTO is trying to say or make it clear in this thread.

That made me laugh for a while. Dezire Owners pardon me. I did not mean to hurt any one. That only speaks about the ways and means the manufacturers use to get the cost reduced.

[ankit.jhamb]

another way of cost reduction

discontinuation of the keyless entry feature--cost approx rs 5500,
they are not reducing the car price by that amt.
hence the price of car in money terms goes up by 5500 rs

NO wonder Dzire is only ~30Kg heavier than its hatchback sibling.

Unfortunately, it is human tedency to believe that better quality comes at a high price. The Swift & SX4 have a sufficient margin (buffer) for Maruti to increase the overall quality by 10%, without an impact on its price.

What is there to laugh about, Seran Manian ? It is a boot after-all. Does it have to be tank like? I don't know. My Baleno's boot-lid is also lightweight. Anyway, what is the golden-bootlid with which you are doing the comparo ?

[fastcar]

hii
Shocked to read about so many complaints about M U L
I own swift DDIS which has clocked 10600kms rattles yes
but am very much happy with response of my mean machine, overtaking not a problem at all(in my previous car TATA i had to plan and press the accelerator hard and then after some seconds the engine used to respond and zoom)
I use synthetic oil and have upgraded my rubber (185/70 r14)
am satisfied with my mean machine inturn M U L

I also agree with you GTO sir.Really now people should think before buying a Maruti.

AFAIK, the EPS does not assist at speeds above 60 kmph.

40 kph rather, switches off rather. Then on its the direct rack n pinion doing the job.

We live in world's largest democracy, so Maruti has the right to build cars in a way and price them or have buffer for profits. And we are free to buy what we feel is value for money. Swift/SX4 fullfill the needs of many indians are they find it very good VFM ( Value For Money ), so they go for it.

Having said that, I would not shy away from adding the point that the things can be improved. The point here is Improvement is a WANT and not a NECESSACITY.

Good question. Even our Baleno boot lid is quite light weight. But the hood (bonnet) of Baleno is quite heavy and I was literally surprised the first time I lifted the hood.

At 40kmph, the ESP will cut off and not 60kmph.
