Hey Kiran! I am pretty certain you mean 150kmph. We are talking speed, not fuel efficiency :p

And yes, the car is good but am getting bored of it now!

Hi Kinnera Suman

I actually have changed my Dzire music system from the stock to a Kenwood KDC BT7043 U system. Now my car has a stereo system with 1000 times better output, USB feature so that i can stick in that 8 GB pen drive of mine, and also a bluetooth feature that lets me use the blue n me kind of technology! I can talk to my friends on phone while driving through the built in mic and can hear them through the speakers.

Anyways, you need to go to your local car modification guy and ask him if he has a swift lxi console for the ac vent and music system. It costed me around 1000 bucks. Get that console, remove your dzire’s console and put in your new music system. You will have to compromise a little on the looks coz you won’t get the feel of the default dzire music system’s integration, but that’s the only way ahead.

I will soon update my blog with some posts and pictures…. Keep looking

Yasar, i might be too late in replying and probably you already bought new tyres n alloys. But i would suggest you go for new tyres as well, as on this time you will get maximum exchange value. Anyways, i am not a big fan of JKTyres so i would suggest some great brand for your great wheels.

Atul, It’s hard to say anything about pickup without seeing it myself.

However, i would like to clarify about two points which you might or might not be knowing. Just sharing knowledge here…
1. Dzire’s turbo is set at 2200 RPM. So whenever during pickup in any gear, if the RPM goes over 2200, there will be a sudden push in pickup/speed/acceleration. That is turbo effect.
2. I hope you know that if your car’s air condition is on, it will noticeably slow down the pick up of your car. Higher the a/c’s strength more hard you have to press for pickup.

Just wanted to clarify. If none f these applies to why you feel your car has variable pickup, then i guess you should go to the agency and get it fixed because nothing like that happens in my car or anyone else’s that i know of.

Hello Sharat – I own my Dzire VXI for more that 12 months now..and it has been a wonderful expereince so far. However, I have experienced one issue with this car..I feel that sometime car’s pickup is very good but other time it is not. In other words, i can say that car will continue giving good pickup for 3-5 days but on 6-7 days it may start giving bad pickup. That issue comes and goes away itself. I and my one another friend bought Dzire VXI and ZXI same day and he experienced this issue as well…so not sure if it could be manufacturing defect. Just curious, have you or any other seen this issue with particular model.

Vijay,

Maruti service center would charge more for the paint job. You can get it painted from some other place. Just make sure the guy is good at what he does and uses good quality paint. Usually the paint that goes on to car these days is called Y2K Paint.

I just got my fourth service done on the car. Am getting an average of 17-18 everytime. So not sure what to say…I guess mileage of 17 after first service is a little low but no where near “alarming”.

As for wheels, the tyres would cause no difference since it’s 14 inches and same as what Maruti recommends. Infact better. That cannot be cause of the low average.

Get your checked again at Maruti if you have any doubts. In this cut throat competition, Maruti guys believe in customer satisfaction always. So good luck….
