Is the Fronx’s higher ground clearance actually useful or is it there for show?
31 December 2024 07:55
Absolutely useful! I’ve driven over some nasty speed bumps and rough patches that would have scraped a regular hatchback. Indian conditions are a real advantage.
Is the Fronx just a jacked up Baleno or does it have its own identity?
31 December 2024 07:55
But I don’t think it’s fair to call it just a jacked up Baleno. Fronx has its own character and that unique front end design is something. Technically true, but misses the point, it's like saying the Brezza is just a tall Swift.
Does the Fronx's design make it unique or just awkward?
31 December 2024 07:55
I've seen it in person and it's something that grows on you. I was so confused when I first saw it in photos, but it has a presence on the road that photos can’t quite capture.
The Fronx's 1.0L turbo engine is premium, but is it worth paying a premium over the standard 1.2L?
31 December 2024 07:55
The turbo is great but think long term costs. With turbo engines, you’ll probably have to spend more on repair in the long run, and in most cases they require more maintenance.
How are Fronx interiors better than or at par with Hyundai Venue or Kia Sonet?
31 December 2024 07:55
Maruti has really stepped up their game with the Fronx I think. However, the interior does feel a lot more premium than older Marutis, though it isn’t quite at Hyundai’s level.
Is the Ciaz still relevant in an SUV dominated market?
31 December 2024 07:45
If Maruti had given the Ciaz some serious updates, it could still be relevant. So, add some modern tech, improve the safety features and maybe give it a hybrid powertrain. For those who don’t want to get on the SUV band wagon, it could be a great alternative.
Would a strong hybrid powertrain option from Maruti Suzuki be a good idea in the Ciaz?
31 December 2024 07:45
Absolutely! It would be amazing to have a strong hybrid Ciaz. It could easily compete with the City e:They offer killer fuel efficiency, and also HEV. If they made it, I'd definitely be considering buying one.
Is the Ciaz’s soft suspension setup a blessing or a curse?
31 December 2024 07:45
That's a boon for most Ciaz buyers. After all, who is buying this car most likely isn't looking for sporty handling, but for comfort. The soft suspension makes for great every day and family trips.
Is the Ciaz in need of a major interior overhaul to stay competitive?
31 December 2024 07:45
I don’t think it needs a major overhaul. The current interior is functional, and spacious. It’s just going to drive the price up by adding too many fancy features.
Should Maruti Suzuki create a performance version of Ciaz?
31 December 2024 07:45
But it would be cool, I don't think Maruti would do it. They’re more interested in mass market appeal and fuel efficiency. That doesn’t fit their strategy for a performance Ciaz.
Does the Baleno's fuel efficiency really play up to the hype in the real world?
31 December 2024 07:39
I was coming from a diesel car and was worried about the petrol costs. The Baleno, however, has been a pleasant surprise. It's not diesel level efficient, but it's close enough to make me happy.
Do you have to give up some driving dynamics to get the Baleno’s space and comfort?
31 December 2024 07:39
I do miss the sharp handling sometimes, as they come from a Honda. The extra space in the Baleno makes up for it, and I've never had the extra space in the Baleno when I've been hauling stuff or have passengers.
Is the build quality of Baleno really as bad as people say?
31 December 2024 07:38
I've been in the auto business, and I can tell you that the Baleno's build is clever, actually. Key areas have been made of high strength steel, with overall weight kept down. This is a modern way of designing cars.
Is the Baleno’s infotainment system actually useful or just a gimmick?
31 December 2024 07:38
It's okay, nothing special. The gripe about the touchscreen that’s laggy at times and “Hey Suzuki” voice commands that are hit or miss are all true. Half the time I just end up using my phone.
How does the AMT compare with traditional automatics?
31 December 2024 07:38
It’s a personal preference; I think it depends on how you drive. But the AMT, although as well executed as the Geartronic and almost as competent, can be surprisingly smooth if you're not in a hurry to go anywhere. It’s all about driving adaptation.
