Congrats on your new car! I also TDed the Baleno CVT, very easy car to punt around from the same Pillai NEXA.

Hi, Sorry for going OT. I heard that the extended warranty provided by NEXA dealer is valid only at their workshops. Can you please check with NEXA OMR (Pillai & Sons) ?

The reason I'm asking is I took delivery of my Baleno Zeta CVT from their Trichy showroom. So, I'm worried!

Sure, I can check and let you know. But based on what I've read on the Baleno and S Cross thread and also on the Maruti Extended Warranty thread, the Nexa Extended Warranty is provided by Maruti Suzuki itself and not from the dealer, so it should be honored across all service stations. Please see this from the S Cross thread.

Re: Maruti Ciaz : Official Review

Hello,

With the updated CIAZ around the corner, does it make sense to buy the current Ciaz Automatic right now - given the discounts on offer?

Dealer are offering 20k cash discounts + 10k Corporate discount and 40k Exchange bonus. That translates to about 70k discount (even on 2017 manufactered models).

How does the deal on Automatic model look like?

I understand that Maruti might even move to CVT technology in the facelifted Ciaz, but the conventional AT is not too bad - ane is even Rubber band effect free

Does it make sense to wait or take the plunge?

With these kind of discounts I would go for the current model. I don't have extensive experience with the automatic, however I had taken a Zoomcar Ciaz AT for a 400 km roadtrip last year. I was very happy with the car even in the poor condition that it was in. A new or well maintained car would be even better.

I took the car on Mumbai Goa Highway which was riddled with moon craters during those days. The car did not scrape the bottom even once. I found the AT box adequately responsive even in D mode. Overtaking was hassle free even on two lane roads. During one overtake which required quick acceleration, the box downshifted to 2nd at 50-55 kmph on pressing the throttle more.

If you are satisfied with the TD then I would say go for it.

Spoke to outlet manager of Bellandur showroom in Bangalore, he said ciaz booking and delivery both will be from Nexa starting April.
He also mentioned originally Ciaz was meant for Nexa but the outlets were not ready hence maruti launched it via regular showrooms.

Has anyone else also got a cracked fog lamp?
I found mine cracked last month, thought it might be due to some stone piercing it while driving, even though there's no scratch nearby. But recently read on brezza thread that it was a defect in certain batches of brezza and was replaced free of cost.

I also thought the same but didn't bother to replace it immediately. Planning to drop a mail to maruti regarding the same.

Re: Maruti Ciaz : Official Review

Hello,

I completed my 40k servicing of my Diesel ciaz yesterday.I had taken my own oil(Mobil Delvac 1 5w40).

There were no preexisting issues to take care of. The slight rattles that plagued the car right from the start persist and i have decided to live with it since the service guys only mange to damage/dirty the interior panels while attempting to rectify it.

I was present throughout the servicing of my car.The extra stuff that gets replaced at 40k are the fuel and air filter, brake fluid and coolant.

While servicing they found that there was an oil leak from the engine sump.They had to remove the engine sump and reapply the sealant(there is no gasket ).
I was a bit miffed to see this since at the last service the turbo inter-cooler hose was leaking oil as well. There was another diesel Ritz with the same issue and was told that this is not a rare occurrence.
I was charged for the labor and the sealant cost was under goodwill warranty.My car is 2 years and 2 months old and this issues isn't covered under extended warranty either. I have spoken to the customer care lady about this and she promised to clarify.
Maruti Ciaz : Official Review-ciaz-40k.jpg

Anyways this time the car feels extra smoother and punchy and the diesel clatter feels much reduced as compared to the last service when i switched over to full synthetic oil for the first time.

Overall very satisfied with my Ciaz.

Re: Maruti Ciaz : Official Review

Hello guys.

My pearl white ciaz met with an accident last month. The rear quarter panel and door were dented. I got it repaired from MASS. The problem is the new color has got a yellowish tint to it. I have asked the MASS to rectify it but they say nothing can be done and i ll have to live with it. What should i do now?

Tell them you cant live with it, and the reason for giving the car to Authorized service centre is to make sure that the color matches with the original factory color. Don't compromise and escalate to Maruthi if required.

Right OVRM was damaged on my car and had got the same changed with MASS, after the finish i found some air bubble mark at the place where is not really visible, but i insisted that they finish it properly, they fixed it by applying polish and some other liquid.

Re: Maruti Ciaz : Official Review

We didn't get a Remote Controller when we took delivery of our Zdi+ and Sales Executive had informed my wife that a Remote Controller is not part of the kit. Is it the same story everywhere?

Cheers!

Slightly OT:
Once upon a time, an unscrupulous automobile dealer in Coorg used to remove the spare tyre that came with Jeeps and sell it (back) as an accessory to the same (gullible) vehicle buyer, claiming Jeeps did not come with spare tyres!

A more recent example, when I bought an SX4, I did not know that the car came with a remote controller. Six months later, when I picked up an SX4 for my cousin, that car HAD a remote controller! Needless to say, I fought with the dealer and got myself a remote controller too!

All I can say is 'caveat emptor', Latin for 'let the buyer beware' and check with Maruti!
