Secondly, 185 on aftermarket 6.5J would also have been a bad idea as I notice how in such cases the Alloys end up protecting the lesser width tires from the sides whereas it should be otherwise. I replaced 185 to 205 at 16k on the Odo. As of today it is 64,000. This is almost 50K and the same tires. I expect them to have useful life at least for the next 15 K kms for sure. Hopefully the next change would be 195. Overall, I have found no trouble with these tires. I maintain 32 for front and 29/30 for rear when driving alone and increase rear to 35 on full load (recommend is 38). The ballooning is what I have felt but many other BHPians I met say they look perfectly OK too. | |

| ![]() Many BHP'ians would have noticed my posts on this thread bashing Ertiga's rattling issues. But after having driven 22K kms on my Ertiga 1.4 VVT, a BIG positive note is the short throw gearbox. This is an absolute pleasure in bumper to bumper traffic (or) during overtake on the highways ![]() Being an ex-Fiesta 1.6 owner I can definitely say that the gearshifts in Ertiga are definitely shorter than Fiesta! And, I have started filling fuel at Shell bunks recently. The latest mileage that I have got is 11.2 kmpl (With A/C) in city ![]() Last edited by Prodigy07 : 11th September 2015 at 16:26.

I am very happy except for the AMT part. Wondering why not AMT in Ertiga. Hoping for a miracle at the launch. With the reduced duty and taxes on hybrid cars but added features, Ertiga SHVS should cost more or less same like the outgoing model. Last edited by TaurusAl : 12th September 2015 at 16:31. | |

| ![]() With MSIL focussing on Baleno, will Ertiga facelift launch get delayed? |

| ![]() Being an owner of Ertiga VDI, I can suggest few improvement that will make this car a brilliant package - Provide a 3rd engine option with ~100HP - Provide an auto option - Liberate or increase luggage space with 3rd row up - Make 3rd row folding possible with head rest on while not compromising leg space for 2nd row -Provide an auto option -Make those headlights suitable for night driving! - 1 size up on tyre -NVH - improve noise insulation for cabin - Touchscreen ICE with Map function - Electrically foldable OVRM with blinkers - Better looking antenna (short stub or shark fin!) - Centre Hand rest for driver & front passenger This will drive folks in drove to Maruti show rooms ![]() |

You really want that Auto option, eh ! ![]() But I doubt if they will launch AMT with this facelift. | |

| ![]() Thanks @RavenAvi. Is there any information on the possibility of MSIL offering an automatic transmission with this facelift? |

| ![]() I had slowly started to think TUV 300 would be my next buy. But this news has again brought me back to our good'ol Maruti. Looks much more value for money. Sad no Automatic and climate control though. |

| ![]() No doubt it would be more VFM, provided MSIL maintains the same price levels or if there is a marginal increase. Since there is no perceptible threat from direct competition there is a fair chance that Maruti may bump up the prices. Now the only question remains by how much. I would like to know from all those prospective buyers who are interested in buying the Ertiga facelift, how much premium you are ready to shelve compared to current price levels. |
