Pros: great mileage expected because of fiat ddsi engine which is proven in swift and palio style
Cons: leg room in rear seats, two in one car

At the price the diesel versions are launched, it is a steal.Very good pickup, good ac, best of features in top end zdi make it a formidable and unbeatable car of this era.U will never feel u are driving a diesel car. (likes of indigo, logan and even 1.4 petrol fiesta can beaten in a giffy). High torque at low rpm is good for city driving. The only thing not so good is its a 2 in 1 car, ie., swift from the front and sx4 from the back. Its just cut & paste of the front half of swift and rear half of sx4. Probably suzuki was in a hurry to launch the entry level sedan after deciding to withdraw esteem. They could have contoured the body like verna or fiesta, or else continued the sporty look of front at the rear also.   Write a Comment

 For good things to happaen in life there is no harm in waiting a little. As far as I am concerned waiting for my Dzire vxi for three months was really worthwhile considering the satisfactioin I am deriving for the past one year in every aspect of the car. I think one can get the petrol model of Dzire without much delay now a days. The diesel engine has to come from Fiat and hence the delay for the diesel models.I am a fully satisfied customer regarding the mileage, performance3and looks of my Dzire vxi.Somebody commented negatively on the shape of Dzire. But I for one, sincerely feel great about the looks of Dzire as it is totally different from the usual shape of the sedans we find on the roads.Before finalising buying Dzire, I had test driven all the three cars in it;s class, i.e, Hundai Accent, Ford Ikon and Mahindra Logan and found that Dzire stands Tall among them

 My minimum driving in a month in a city is around 200 Km and high way driving is around 1000 Km. I am planning to buy DZire VXi model. Please advise me with your vital experience on deisel model over maintenance and life.

 hello Manjul - u mean to say that in a month u drive minimum 1200 km, if u go for petrol version it will cost u Rs. 3200 for this 1200 km where as in diesel it will cost you Rs. 2823. If you see there is hardly any difference so it will be better going for petrol version. If you compare the maintenance cost in both the version it is very low in petrol. If still you are interested in diesel version go for new one and square it off in 1 or 2 years as problem starts coming after 1 year and dont ever think of going for second hand diesel car as this will bring in bunch of problem which will be very difficult for you to handle. So my suggestion as per your usage is you shud go for petrol version. Now choice is yours.

 I just can't understand why there is so much time taking in delivery of Dzire. One of my friends booked this car 4 months back and he is yet to get delivery!He is paying interest to the Bank on the loan amount for nothing for the last 4 to 5 months!

 FROM MY EXPERIENCE FOR THE PAST ONE YEAR,I WOULD TO LIKE TO STATE THAT SWIFT DZIRE IS THE BEST AMONG ITS CLASS AND IT TOPS EVERY OTHER CAR IN ITS CLASS IN MILEAGE, LOOKS AND DRIVING COMFORTS.MAINTENANCE EXPENSES ARE PRACTICALLY NIL EXCEPT THE PERIODIC SEWRVICES AND OIL CHANGES THE COMPANY RECCOMMENTS. OVERALL, IT IS THE BEST AMONG CARS LIKE ACCENT, IKON,LOGAN ETC. ONLY COMPLAINT THAT PEOPLE SPEAK OF ITS REAR SEATING POSITIONS. BUT FOR A PERSON OF 5'8" THE BACK SPACE IS ADEQUATE.

 D'zire is the best among the lot, Ford Ikon, Hundai Access, and Mahindra Logan. I have been using my vxi model for the past 9 months and 'am fully satisfied with tghe performance and fuel efficiency. The looks are really great and the boot has got ample space for long journies. I opted for the vxzi model because, I have only about 500km to 800km per month to drive.

 about Swift desire I can say words that car pickup is good,millage average is good but back look is not good because company has no change in front like swift look.companu should change the look from swift dezire overall good car but problem is delivery.one has to wait for 4 to 6 month for delivery.as you know in this time u cant wait for 4 to 6 month.compay has to enhanced the car delivery or stop the delivery.Maruti Company is very fine /network is excellent/service providers are good but in dezire case is company is spoiling his immage.I request compy to save the immage.I have already Swift Diesel VDI and got on 26.04.2008.I am very satisifed with the car.

 i got the ldi delivery on 23rd jun after 2 1/2 months waiting but it is more than worth it. for the first 1000km i have driven, i got an average mileage of 18.22km/ltr with ac on continously. 500 km on highways and 500 km in city was my usage. The ride is excellent. Only thing i felt that back seat should have been made foldable and leg room in the rear seat should be slightly more. Nevertheless, its an excellent buy at 6.2lakh on road at hyd.

 Waiting time of 6 month is not a good sign for Desire, because of this people are diverting towards other car. Maruti MUST solve this problem to get good response from customer.
