As of now in Maharashtra, there are no restrictions on diesel private ownership vehicles like Delhi NCR. you can use the car with standard rules of 15 years followed by "green tax" for extensions every 5 year or so.

The clutch is pretty light, you will get used to it in 1-2 kms tops. Its not Suzuki petrol like light, but you won't feel any discomfort using in jam packed city confines with the 1.3 - as long as it has not been abused by the previous owner. If too hard but you like the particular pre-owned car otherwise - get it overhauled / serviced. Clutch service/replacement with the 1.3MJD isn't too costly per say.

I see a lot of similarities here, as I do the same when it comes to meetings anywhere in South India. Have traveled by myself to just enjoy the drive and also to prepare myself for important meetings/interviews.


Honestly speaking, I always look for options so that I can find a reason to drive. (for example recently there was an emergency meeting at Calicut which is roughly 250 kilometre from my hospital. CEO of our hospital asked many doctors to attend the meeting and everybody politely refused since it was on short notice. I jumped at the opportunity for the simple reason that I can drive 500 km in one day). There is a guy in every group/friendship circle who always takes the wheel while going out. Dear friends, I am that guy.

Many roof rails have proper holes and nuts inside the roof rails where you can install the bars. The WRV has a solid roof rails with no holes hence the issue.

The bars have been clipped onto on the bar. There are no holes/clips on the rails (unlike the Ecosport).

The manuals on how the bars and the attachment process:

Thank you very much. These look awesome. I will contact them and see if similar setup can be done for the WRV. Thanks once again.

MRF Perfinza it is!!

Michelin P4ST has better life, comfort and lesser noise.

One issue could crop up. I haven't seen mounting points on the WRV's roof rails. Also they seem to not have a notch like the one in the SCross. WRV's roof rails seem more aesthetic than functional.

I believe the WRV available abroad has mounting point for roof rails. Here's a reference video.

Thank you CrossLife for sharing the links.

I have already contacted 2 of them and waiting for their response. The one in Cochin seems to be a Zeta. As 1.6 Zeta is having much fewer features than my 1.3 Zeta, my plan is to search for an Alpha.

Will explore the options with True Value also once the lockdown is over.

1.6 Zeta doesn't have auto ac and CC which are available in 1.3 Zeta. Instead, 1.6 Zeta has auto dimming rear view, navigation and silver roof rails which are missing in 1.3 Zeta. Rest of the features are same.

Auto AC and Reverse camera are the BIG misses for me. It adds so much of convenience that somebody used with that will never let it miss.
