Is maruti using a weaker sheet of metal for body types..?? This is the second case i am seeing on BHP. Hailstroms are very common in northern states..can be a big deterrent for buyers

A similar thing happened to my neighbor's newly acquired Scorpio today. The hood had transformed into an egg-tray post the hailstorm :Frustrati

So considering that even a Safari and Scorpio are prone to such a damage by hailstorm, are we able to draw any conclusions on the widely known thin metal sheet Marutis' (read Brezza and Baleno) specific to this scenario? Just trying to understand whether a decision to go for Baleno or Brezza should get impacted by this kind of damage susceptibility.

It's not correct to compare hailstorm marks even if cars are parked side by side. Hailstorm intensity varies to great extend within a small distance as the size of the hailstones are so different and not uniform.

Hitting on this topic after I got chance to click snaps of my Uncle's Safari. I've circled the dented areas, but the marks are much more than what camera could capture. This is after half an hour hailstorm wherein his Safari suffered so much damage but his Ritz did not.

I too enquired about the armrest at Vipul Noida. Quoted me 3090 for the same. Planning to get that done along with Seat covers from MSIL itself. How comfortable is it with the armrest. Also do you lose any storage....

Nope, In fact you gain the storage as there is storage space under the sliding armrest and its very comfortable to sit in the car now , esp. on long highway drives. Infact I have just driven non stop for 350 kms yesterday and there is a marked improvement in comfort levels.

However, you will lose the rectangular empty space at the rear of the cupholders as that is where the armrest comes.

Is it the same as the one in ZDi+? Does the elbow hit the armrest while changing gears? I found on some cars you have to compulsorily rest your hand on the armrest while changing gears.

Finally Booked Brezza ZDi+. Red and Black Combo.
Waiting period said to be 42 weeks.:Frustrati
But the Sales guy said he will try to get one after august.

42 Weeks = 9months!!

Wow..am surprised that people are still booking Brezza unless everyone is getting his car out of turn like you might. :D

Yes, its the same as on Zdi+. It may foul with the elbows if the armrest lid is slided to front. However, I did not find it to fowl with my arms.

It's been a week since we've taken delivery of our silver vitara brezza ZDI and I've been noticing a slight thud sound coming from the rear left side of the car when the car goes through bad roads which comes from the tire hitting the wheel well. Got it checked yesterday and the left rear shock absorber was found to be leaking. The service adviser assured me that it would be replaced under warranty in a couple of days as soon as the part arrives

Is anyone aware of the make and type of stock headlight bulbs of Brezza? What I've been told is that its Osram nightbreakers but looking at its light throw, I've doubts. I dont want to change wattage of bulbs, I just want them to be brighter, but strictly NO WHITE/BLUE lights. I just want more brightness, nothing funny. How would be Philips Extreme Vision plus? Mine is a ZDi+ so have projectors for low beam and reflectors for high beam.

Also it would be nice if someone can chip in with the type of bulbs in dome lights. Thanks in advance.

I've got really long arms so will have to see. Won't be putting anymore money in the vehicle on near future except for maybe a really good engine oil. Need something to improve pedal grip too actually. It's getting even more slippery for me in the rains.

Good news!!!

Finally, got a call from dealership in the afternoon today and the car has been allotted after a wait of almost 3 months. Had booked it on March 27.

Mine is a Zdi+ (white) booked at Magic Auto, Karol Bagh. But it seems the ex-showroom prices have risen. Back in March I was quoted 10.83 on road and now it is 10.92.

Anyway, I wanted a auto-dimming IRVM but the dealer tells me that they have received the mirror but not the harness. Will get it done once its available. The dealer was desperate to sell me a sports package but I politely turned down. Although, I will be getting chrome handles and and the U-shaped teeth for the front grille.

The delivery is expected on Monday (June 27).

Looking at the bright side, i might get a better version after they fix the existing faults or maybe if the waiting period extends even more i may get a Brezza face-lift. lol:
