the thing is we get around to everyone singing and playing antakshari and that is much more fun than listening to a Cd or even FM. Here i would like to tell you that i've not fitted a music system in my car because i luv to sing. We go for after dinner drives of around 40 kms because its so much fun. My daughter prefers settling down in the middle row and sleeping off. Long drives are a pleasure when u have this airplane. My brother in law appreciated the power and pik up of the versa ( and that too when he owns a ford mustang). Ditto for my sister and brother in law who came back somewhere in 2004 or 2005.
we managed to fit in 5 large suitcases (really large), 3 or 4 cabin luggage and 3 adults and a kid into the versa without much effort. i remember when my brother's family was arriving from the states in November 2003, and on arrival he kept on insiting that we would require at least 2 ambassador cars to carry all the luggage. Now even 5 hour continuous drives are easy.

The driver seat is adequate, but i felt lumber support was not adequate and so i went and bought an amron seat back rest. pot holes were never a problem and no fear of scrapping the bottom over speedbrakers. The ground clearance ensures that i am able to take it off the curb to pass traffic jams.

The best part is the free revving engine and low gearing which pulls this vehicle over anything. Anyways, this was installed in Feb'2007, so i think its done its share of hard labour.Īs to the body rattles all i would say is that there are definitely some but at par with a 1-2 year old car. So currently the battery is under charging and if that does'nt work i buy a new one. Later diagnosed as no water in the battery. The second time was yesterday while coming back from office the engine just went kaput. This was in 2007 just out of extended 4 year warranty. It was later diagnosed as a quality issue and Maruti exchanged the same as free replacement. Once the main harness from the battery positive burnt down but not before providing adequate warnings. I've never been let down by my car except on 2 occassions when that too when it was actually my fault and everytime never far from civilization. But this took its toll on the clutch and it became very hard and squeaky later on and i had to get it changed finally. Almost a 100 odd metres of this and finally we were through. Since i did not have a choice, i switched off the AC, shifted into first, revved up the engine and with partial clutch slip just waded through the water. In 2005 or 2006 (my memory fails me as to the exact year) during the rainy season the roads were completely flooded in Faridabad and while coming back from office one evening we were completely stranded with more than a foot of water through which even sumo walahs were afraid of passing. The gear box is as it was when new, however the clutch had to be changed at 35000kms and all because of my foolishness. Best average top speed- 105 km in 50 minutes (between the same set of cities).īest average on highway 13kmpl (AC and fully loaded)īy the time i got around to writing something i find that my car has already done 95000 kms. Max speed 148-150 kmph (indicated) in January 2007 between udaipur to chittaurgarh. 9-10 kmpl on highway fully loaded with 5 adults, luggage, AC and speeds in excess of 120kmph. Power steering, front power windows, booster assisted brakes.įuel consumption 10-11 kmpl in delhi traffic with AC. Maruti Versa DX model September 2003 model Dont hold your breath since this may take some time. The launch of the new Eeco has made this thread some thing of a non starter but maybe the second hand market for Versa may stay considering the uglier stance of the Eeco (thats a purely personal view point). But efforts are on and soon i should be able to come up with some thing presentable. Whichever way you look at it the closest thing it resembles is a bread bin, if you leave apart the now defunct Mahindra voyger. One of the problem faced was trying to get a good photogenic angle of the car- and it drove me nuts. I've started jotting down all the ups and downs after more than 6yrs and 90000kms of having driven my Versa. Honeybee came calling and wanted me to post a review of my ownership experience of the Maruti Versa.
