Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() After going through a lot of threads(including this) and waiting for almost all the new launches, i finally decided to book Ertiga Vdi(Dusky brown). After all the comparisions, i feel Ertiga is the better choice for my needs. and the choice of Vdi is purely due to budget constraints. My choice of color was not available at the dealer, so he has promised me to arrange one in 10 days time(He had a 2012 Nov make, but I obviously did not want it). But the fast selling colors are available off the shelf currently due to Automobile crisis in india. I thank you all for the valuable inputs and I now realize how tough it is to wait(I feel like changing the color and driving home one tomorrow) Last edited by rajshenoy : 12th July 2013 at 17:11. |

I seriously think you should pen down your thought process from the Duster to Ecosport to Ertiga. People need to know that part esp the fact thats its not always about good looks and a good drive alone. Its also about what your co-passengers feel during the drive. A case in point : When I wanted to buy I did not see Duster happening soon. I was hell bent on buying Fiesta. I was blown away by its driving dynamics. But then better sense prevailed and I shot it down, as it would not have satisfied my needs (again the culprit was rear space) | |

Jokes apart, late 2014 and 2015 is going to be a good year with almost every manufacturer lining up new global models in India. It was bit of a stretch for me to wait till then. But it will be very exciting time post then. Quote:

| ![]() My Ertiga VDI is completing 5K (in 9 months) soon and I'll be going for 2nd service next week. So far, I didn't have any problems, except some little squeaking from the 2nd row right side area occasionally. Are there any specific things that I should look for in the 2nd servicing? I do not use the car much, so do I need to do anything (except driving in the pathetic Hyd traffic ;-) ) to keep it in good condition? I usually start the car once in a week and drive for 10 KM or so. |

| ![]() Hi All, Just saw rust marks on the front wheel disk. Is it normal for rainy season. Got my Ertiga Zxi on 11th July-2013. It was a 20th Jun-2013 manufactured car. So it was not an old car kept in dealer stockyard for a long time. Even I got the car with 7KM on the ODO. After I got the car, i have already driven around 150 KM in the rain / mud (You know how the road in Pune now a days) . So is it normal observation for rainy season? Or it would vanish after use for some more KMs? Or Do I need to take it seriously and take car to Service center? Last edited by KALINGA : 15th July 2013 at 14:32. |

| ![]() That helps. Just run your finger over it or wipe it with a cloth lightly to see if the rust clears off. If it does, you are good. If you see uneven corrosion or deep cuts/rust in the disc, then maybe worth a check with a mechanic. But since its a new car and with the pic now, i doubt its serious at all. |

| ![]() Take the car out for a drive and use the brakes liberally. The rust must totally disappear and you must find a shiny, flawless surface. My Sx4s disc rusts after being washed and left idle for more than a day but the rust is not this significant though. |
