Hi Vipul, Thank you very much and very happy to see that you read everything, Hope you enjoyed.
Alloys are optional and I dont like the standard alloys of Ertiga so I didnt opt it. but technically those alloys returning very good FE compared to steel rim.
keep watching this thread.
Any performance damper if change it at 5000km?
according to me the 1st oil change should happen as soon as possible since the new engine comes with some minute metal pieces which we need to remove as early as possible.
but now i'm ran out of money till the end of this month.
+1000 true.
that is a good tip for me, so what you suggest based on your experience?
Manual is nothing RK, they gave some general check list never said anything about oil change.
what is your opinion?
@TAIDhana, yes gray looks very beautiful to me and Dolphin name for ertiga is gaining traction and I love to call it dolphin because it is a very intelligent machine.
@patkar, cheers for gray Dolphin, happy to hear that you inspired your brother with your G dolphin.
I visited Kalyani motor's stockyard twice just to decide color, where I compared all colors at once.
regarding clutch I too had it in the initial phase now my Dolphin looks perfect in all.
my FE so far is 18kmpl avg in all condition.
Kinky re-paint your red dolphin to gray, we need you as a member in gray club.
yesterday I drove my Dolphin around 200km it feels as sporty as swift to handle and very nice to drive in tight place.
make the video public please, It is private now It wont play for me

G gray is becoming popular choice among public,My brother who booked Ertiga was ZDI maroon color was about to be delivered in weeks time,it happened to visit my place where he saw my LUV ,later he to changed to G gray and waited for 3 weeks more.![[clap]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Clap.gif "Clap [clap]")
.Yesterday i drove Zdi,did not felt like a diesel mill,but vibration on clutch was felt,he does not notice it cause he has a driver.
Average that his ertiga gives in mumbai western suburbs is 16kmpl.

yes waiting is the painful job than anything, so I rejected Ecosport thats the 1 good reason of many and went on purchasing ertiga without a second thought.
urban Bronze Safari storme was the prime option but NOW ERTIGA.

Red is also good , I have done initial booking as Red then got it changed to Grey after 2 months. Only thing with Red is that if it is well polished then it looks very exotic.
I am also fond of Red:
1: Red(Burgundy) Caliber (Sold)
2: Red Activa (still having)
3: Red pulsar (sold)
4: Red Street (Sold).
Now current rides are: Grey (Ertiga), Red(Activa) and White (ZMR)
@patkar and @MrRanger bro!
Awesome pics! The LUV loves you and you LUV him!
Post more and share experiences!

I'm waiting for your review, do it fast
I'm waiting for your review, do it fast
So you guys met somewhere at Bangalore?
Definitely enjoyed reading the thread and liked the pics even more. The car is looking really good and no doubt the choice of color is really great.
BTW, if you don't use all seven seats then what about removing the third row and sliding the middle row at the back most position on rails. Here I have seen a couple of Ertiga owners who have done the same. This has left the car like a 5 seater UV with big boot and very spacious cabin.
I guess upto 5-10% difference between the FE can be expected. What's your take? And If the difference is higher then why?

Yes Appu we met at Kempe gowda railyway station banaglore, I went to pick him from station and later we had a nice discussion after that RK drove my car all the away to bhomanahalli which is around 22km.
I was in a hurry since I had go back to home to pick my mom and dad to visit our village to meet my daughter she is 4 month old now.
Happy to know that you enjoyed all the pics and color of the car, thank you
My family and friends are many in number so I usually use 7 seats except when i travel to office and home. before I bought Ertiga I took my entire family to check whether they can travel and sit comfortably, all got good impression in all aspects so Ertiga for me is no more a small car.
Even I went to book Ecosport but somehow I found it smaller than i20 and punto as per as shoulder room is concerned at the back and my mom rejected straight away.
Regarding FE( with alloys or without alloys ) Im not sure about the figures may be your expectation is true but for me its more depends on ones driving style and road condition. In india we cannot find good roads so I cannot predict.
Major reason for steel rim is the STD alloys are not that appealing to me and I can save 30k if I buy with steel rim Ertiga.
+100 I agreed me too happy about vipuls return.

Okay,
It is much delayed, find my impressions of first drive of the Ertiga of Mr.Ranger
- Nice exterior and interior view
- Good space inside
- Good Head and leg room
- Comfortable seating position
- Steering is very light
- Never felt like driving a lengthy car
- clutch is light
- no turbo lag
- Easy to drive
- Good turbo kick like Ritz and Swift
- Acceptable boot space when 3rd row is not folded and excellent boot space if you fold 3rd row
- Mileage seems to be good according to Mrranger
- A personal and family vehicle
- Value for money
- Gear shift is short and good
- Nice music system(stock)
- 2nd row space is good
This ticks lot of boxes for a family man
