The DIESEL experience! Swift VDi

Jaggu · 5th April 2007, 16:04

Car is promised to be delivered on Monday 09 April

Maruti has been quite good wrt customer relation management, right from the day i posted query on their site (before launch) till today, when they called me to understand why i chose on this particular car.

They have been replying me via email as well as through phone calls, and said they will follow up once i get delivery of the car.

Dealership was quite helpful in assisting me to get a priority release, yeah contact at the highest level helped alot. Though need to see how the experience is going to be for the delivery as well as A>S>S. No major free b's, regular mudflap, mat etc, trying to see if i can choose an additional horn instead of some of these stuff.

Will be updating with delivery experience and initial driving impression after monday i guess

why what happened drifter?

drifter · 5th April 2007, 17:24

They sold the car allotted to me to someone else. Bloody idiots. Very unprofessional in their working. But for that they have given me a loaner car - an esteem which im having real good fun with.

how can the dealership sell your car to someone else didn't you ask them how they managed it

and have great fun in the esteem

drifter · 5th April 2007, 17:53

Some bull**** about not recieving the payment on time from the bank. But either ways I have an esteem to play with courtesy the showroom. I've been driving it for more than a week...haha beginning to like it.

been going through some alloy options and very honestly i didn like any of those well am an absolute no bling guy)
saw a white one with plated lip by plati which came close, and saw a white swift with full white rims, but couldn locate the same in shop (yet), tomorrow am doing final rounds of shops and then decide if i really want to shelve out more or stick to my plan b of reg rims with wider tyres.

if so which will be better option 185/70 or 195/70 (am ignoring the circum diff of 195/70 from stock), checked UK site and it seems there its 185's so is 185 the perfect width or should i go for 195?

again bangalore boys/gals what are the best options for 195/70/14 or 185/70/14 in bangalore and do Yoko's come in these sizes? i doubt..

will update of i get lucky in my window shoppin tomorrow

@drifter: hope u delivered ur baby, congratz!!

cheers

sorry.. this made me crack up.
But on a serious note, i think you should get 195/60R14 or 195/65R14. I don't think there are tyre companies that make 195/70R14.
Cheers

Jaggu · 7th April 2007, 17:40

there are 195/70/14 available

and 195/60/14 is wrong upsize coz it is more than 3% variation from 165/80 or 185/70

Jaggu · 8th April 2007, 13:22

am becoming a kid again!! cant help it!! new car in a long time lol!! less than 24 hours to go....
