Maruti Ertiga ZXi: Buying and Ownership Experience

[DJ bro]

Fantastic work Kalinga ji!
The quality and finish of the material and the product is really fantastic!
Although, I would have preferred a beige/dark grey or black seat covers rather than the brown ones, so that is suits the dashboard color better.
I am also tempted to do such work for my LUV, but at a later stage.

Thanx bro..
The fit & Finish is good, lets see how long it last ...

Hey Kalinga, this is nicely done. Letherite seats always looks good.
I have almost similar seat covers but color is different

I paid 8k for it and it has 2 years warranty.

Thanx bro,

Your's almost match the car interior.
Actually i want the same one but in long distance travel my LUV becomes a "resturant on wheels". Thanx to me & my son .

Thats the main reason why i choose this color. As my last car have also light color but it is very dificult to maintain that color.

Update:
At last i have upgraded my head lamp to 100/90 setup with all PHILIPS set up. Relay & lamp both are from Philips.
Bulb is Philips Essential vision.

While changing the head lamps, did you change the reflectors as well?

You got the best VFM ride .
Its time to start a ownership thread. As you have already used the LUV for 1 year.

Drive safe & Enjoy the ride.

Kalinga ji, I have been driving Ertiga since 2012, but yet I haven't opened my ownership thread!

You should bro :)
Many threads means a new user get many information.
That's the aim.

BTW...when you are planning for Pune trip.

BTW...when you are planning for Pune trip.

Sorry ji, my Pune trip got cancelled as my grandma's health is not good.
I had planned to come on 12th December. Now the trip is not possible in the near future, so maybe later.

Congrats kalinga for being loved by luv .
Thanks for the very informative ownership thread
Just joind TAI and gone through your ownership thread as I'm planning to get myself a new ride.
I am a proud owner of swift dzire vdi since 2010 and now with the rising number of people in my family we need a 7 seater.
I'm completely satisfied with my current ride (performance and low maintenance cost )
thanks to MSIL
I wish I could add one row of seats to my swift hence ertiga comes to my wishlist..
now main concern is that should I go for zxi or zdi..
my annual leather burn is about 7-8 k..
with 50 percent of city driving..
Need expert advice

Considering 8k kms annual run go in for ZXI and so k series engine gives similar mileage in city like ddis

Thanx Manishraj,

As kinky had already mention for annually 8k travel, you should go for ZXi.
Mileage is awesome in city and highways also.

LUV is a great family car and pocket friendly too.

Go for LUV ...you will never regreat ...

My LUV is around 24000 KM in 1.6 years. Even my usage was very low previously...but after LUV came to my life...the usage has increased a lot.
Thanks to LUV.

Hi Kalinga,

Went through your beautiful ownership thread in one go & I must admit that this is very informative thread.
Why don't you try Hella Black magic 500? Car Cupid said he has brackets available for Aux lamps which do not require any welding or drilling. (Cost mentioned was under 2K).

I have fitted Neolite 1010 (stock bulb replaced with 100w H3 lamps from Osaram), which cost 950/- per pair on my Wagon R & they were very handy during night drives.
