The only downer to me, was not being able to get ZDi. but that also I don't miss too much. may be that rear defogger/wiper is what I will miss the most. |
Thanks gkrishn. I agree this a perfect family vehicle. I was very clear that I would not skip on the saftey features and hence went only for Zdi. In addtition it also has height adjustable seats which was necessary as me and my wife would be driving this and the position and height need to be adjusted frequently for our individual comfort.

Apart from the natural strengths of the vehicle , its heartening to see how Maruti has improved in terms of quality,finish and NVH. Even the ride and handling of newer cars are top notch
I would like to ask about how does it feel to shift from 1.6 litre petrol to a 1.3 litre diesel?
Drop in terms of acceleration or jump in terms of torque
Nature of both engines being so different |
Thanks Turbokick. The quality of Maruti has improved significantly from the good old Wagon R days to the Present Swift and Ertiga. In fact I can see a lot of improvement over a not so old SX4 as well. Surely Maruti engineers are keeping their ears to the ground for areas of improvement.
The shift is like chalk and cheese. I love to rev the engine to its redline which I can do in my SX4. The Ertiga doesn't give me that pleasure. But definitely the Turbokick  is very enjoyable in the Ertiga. Quote:

Congratulations nurni! I can see that you are starting to enjoy the new car experience already! Ertiga sure is a great VFM package for today's nuclear family and is bound to see success for many more years to come IMHO.
Happy Motoring and do keep us enthralled with your upgrades and accessories! |
Thanks luvuride. I will try and keep this thread as live as possible. Quote:

Wanted more grip and better comfort. Hence upgraded. The new tyres have improved the ride comfort and reduced the road noise. Handling also has improved a wee bit. I am hoping these tyres will serve me longer than Stock. The overall incremental cost was Rs 13k for 5 tyres. My stock tyres were taken back for around Rs 3200 each, while the new one cost me Rs 5800 per tyre (Michelin Primacy LC 195/60/R15) |
