Dzire is getting appreciation from every one; it is because of its spacious and luxurious interior. Though it looks like the stretched version of swift, it still carries it self very well. I read the review on http://www.carazoo.com/newcars/carreview/Maruti/Swift%20DZiRE and must say it was impressive

Dear all,

It was interesting to read about the DZire & Logan. As I am planning a car soon, I would be grateful if DZire & Logan users help me with comparison of the following aspects of the two cars. I would prefer a comparison between the top end versions of the two cars (pertrol only comparisons please). In the Logan 1.6 top end.
1) Mileage in city driving you / your friend achieves with / without A.C. on (I don’t want brouchure data, I may not be that good a driver to achieve those big numbers).
2) Mileage on the highway you / your friend achieves with / without A.C. on.
3) Driver comfort
- Back / neck comfort
- Road visibility ( I am 5′ 10″
- Height
- A-pillar and lateral visibility angle
- Left foot comfort when not using the clutch
- Switches / controls orientation / access
- Smoothness of gear shift
- Trip / other computer and usefulness of data for driver
4) Comfort for all
- Arm rest comfort
- Utility value of pockets, glove box, cup holder etc.
- Comfort of rear headrest etc.
- Comfort of seats (back / neck)
5) Security - keyless entry / immobilizer / i Cat etc.
6) ABS, EBS etc.
7) Service
- Quality of Maruti / Mahindra’s service and not number of service centers, I live in Bangalore
- Cost of service
- Frequency of service prescribed (Km / Time)
- Cost of spares Tubeless tyres?
9) Ease / difficulty in retrieving the stepney
10) Any problem with engine noise / vibrations
11) Any power steering problem at higher speeds
12) Any problem with gear ratios
13) Any problem with suspension on Indian (pot holed) roads
14) Any other good or bad about DZire & Logan

Thanx.
John

Whoever you are, I am fully agree.Because i lived in Delhi and i have seen lots of traffic rule violating incidents. And at the end the violater easily escape just becuase of corruption.

The Rule makers are the biggest rule violater.
I want to change the system but
TO CHANGE THE SYSTEM I HAVE TO BE IN THE SYSTEM
can you help me to be the part of this system.
I Hope You Reply.

Hello Buddy,
You can add my name to the Dzire Fan club.I enquired for booking & was shocked to know it has a waiting period of 7 to 9 months.I have made up my mind to go for this car but the waiting period is a dampner.I wish someone with inside story of sorts reply to this to say what the exact wait perios is & what maruti has planned to cover the huge gap in bookings & production.It’s time Maruti focus on this car rather than boxes like the WagonR.

Guys you all have been calculating abt the break even… yes it takes 5 years to break even for an average user. but he can pocket the higher resale value as a profit.

hi friends

Dont Forget about the resale value…

i had zen 2000 model n i sold it for 1.45 lacs last month ( after 8 years )..

earlier i sold my palio , i drove my palio for 3 years n sold it for rs 2.2 lacs ( the orignal price was 4.8 lac at that time)

well i think resale value does matters……

n no one can beat maruti in this…
