Late to the Party, But Here I Am

Hi there, my fellow BHPians. Hope you all are having a wonderful day.

Here's a short introduction of myself. My name is Salman Ali. I am a 24-year-old, but my craze and passion for automobiles has been since my childhood, I believe, from knowing and naming every car on the road when I was 5 to pursuing a career in Automobiles. I am a proud owner of a low-mileage 2008 Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo Vxi. It might not be an enthusiast's favorite, but this car holds a lot of value to me as this is my first set of wheels, and this is what a mechanical engineering fresher's salary can get for the most part. It's a hoot to drive around tho. It's light, low on maintenance, fuel efficient and has a 4AGE in it (Just kidding

, It's got a F10D under the hood which is equivalent to the 4AGE in india, considering the tofu delivery car of India is powered by one Cough Cough... The RWD 800

). I am planning to take this car pan India and document the same on Team BHP.

Hi F10D_Estilo,

Welcome to Team-BHP!

The Zen Estilo, like most Maruti Suzuki models, is a reliable machine. BHPian sachin_cs owns one with over 2,90,000 km on the clock.

Do check out his detailed post on the repairs that had to be carried out on his 15-year-old Zen Estilo.

Cheers!
