BHPian ![]() | ![]() It all depends on your driving style and the traffic conditions. In my experience in heavy b2b city driving with AC you could get around 14kmpl while highways with sedate driving could easily give you around 21-22KMpl. I get around 16.5kmpl on an average in city conditions as I don't face too heavy traffic normally. |

| ![]() Please share your experience after changing the stock 185 to 195 tyres , is it possible to fit 16 inch alloys without mendling with the wheel arcs? |

| ![]() Sorry for the back to back post, It was a sudden decision to go and have a look at Maruti Ertiga in ABT showroom @ Cuddalore O.T . I had no clue about the shocking news i was about hear about the waiting period of Ertiga which is More than 1 YEAR for the ZDI model. Even for the VDI model there is a min waiting period of 6 - 8 months which made me erase Ertiga from my wishlist. How can some one book a car and wait for more than 1 year for its delivery? ![]() |

| ![]() Yesterday I rode as a passenger on my neighbour's Ertiga. I sat on the third row and found it more comfortable than Innova third row. Ride was softer and less bumpy than Innova. And three adults sat in the second row - yes, Innova is wider and the same 3 people might sit with more comfort in Innova than Ertiga - but 3 people are sittable in Ertiga in the middle - at least within the city if not on highways. |

Swift Dzire - more than 6 months Ertiga VDI - 6-8 months Ertiga ZDI - more than 1 Year The above said figures are surely going to take maruti out of lime light . Last edited by crazyjeeperk : 31st August 2012 at 20:37. | |

With such terrific monthly sales figures, I am sure the question of 'taking maruti out of limelight' will not arise. ![]() | |

| ![]() My brother in law and friend cancelled their bookings last week. Since the waiting is too long, they are looking elsewhere / waiting for other cars (like the Mahindra Quanto). So the waiting may in fact go down, if guys on the Ertiga list disappear at this rate ![]() |

| ![]() Hi guys, Today turned out to be a Red Letter Day !!! We took delivery of our LUV Ertiga ZDI in the elegant Silky Silver. Considering the clamour for Ertigas, esp the ZDIs and the loong waiting period which presently runs to one year, the delivery is all the more sweetened. Ertiga ZDI was 10.39 lacs on road without accessories incl 10% Road Tax (in TN), Insurance, Registration, Handling, etc. Oft-warned beige seats cried for immediate seat covers which i plan to add tomorrow along with Door visor, 4 sills, side and bumper guards and a reverse sensors (with 4 sensors and distance indicator accurate to about 25 cms). Later, i plan add MGA navigation kit which comes with LCD display to be paired with a standalone reverse camara. Any suggestions are welcome mates. But I do not any plan to change the OEM Goodyear tyres for now since the dealer said he cannot deal with the old tyres since deliveries are few and hard to comeby. Sales Team at the show room went through their own lengthy checklist meticulously and also made it a memorable occassion with a passionate pooja session. Checked out the basics with the help of the PDI essentials XLS obtained through Team-BHP and found everything to be alright. Took the vehicle for a spin with wifey (kids joined later) and found it to be worthy every bit since the ride quality was pleasureable and highly satisfying. Almost the entire clan was thrilled on seeing the new car. I took a 20 kms ride (within city) with about 7 other occupants incl 6 adults and two grown-up kids. With two kids and another person were in the third row, three in the second row, the ride was frankly very comfortable with absolutely no complaints from anyone (but I thought 7 should be the ideal number). Initially i had to come around to let the third row passengers come out, which was but learnt by 2 others in a jiffy, and didn't cause any more legwork to me. Twice there was some difficulty in the engaging of reverse gear which didn't recur in the subsequent 3 places. I am not sure yet whether this is a matter for concern. The engine was very smooth and i didnt feel pressurised in any way, upgrading from my peppy petrol Alto. AC and the audio system were extremely satifying, although i could not meddle yet with the equaliser setting to my desired effect. That's it for the present. I shall keep you posted with updates. |
