Maruti Suzuki Ertiga VDi Bought: Ownership Review
Dear Sunny and ready.s.go
Thanks for the prompt response, I was refering to the post of a picture of an Ertiga with parking sensor and reverse camera posted by Sunny. What is the brand they fitted, redsol or MGP accessory. I do find it difficult to park in reverse due to the length, the dead ground is much. I have driven a Gypsy for a long time, in addition to heavier vehicles. Need to get used to the vehicle visibility..

My ZDi White is due for delivery on Wednesday. Going for PDI tomorrow. I have opted for the following accessories from the Maruti. Let me know if there is anything I need to look for
1. Door Visor
2. Beading on door and bumper
3. Steering cover
4. Interior styling kit -wooden finish
5. Door Sill guard(front and rear)
6. Underbody coating (looks like this is the max margin service offered, the representative literally begged to do this. I somehow managed to cancel teflon coating on body but went for underbody coating)
MRP to 13000 but my dealer is yet to return on the discounts on these.
Other accessories that I am looking to install from outside of Maruti
1. 100/90 bulb or Philips crystal vision 4300k(Philips Crystal Vision 4300k Headlight Bulb Bulbs H4, buy online Philips Crystal Vision 4300k Headlight Bulb Bulbs H4 lowest price india). If 100/90w bulb is risky then will go for 4300k.
2. JBL speakers
3. Reverse parking assist system with camera.
4. Luggage carrier. I didn't like the one which come with MGA. It is costly as well. Will wait for outsiders to produce a good luggage carrier.

@ Sunny-My dealer has not shown me any catalogue, I was checking on the post by Saby. I am waiting for my Dealer Sales rep to inform me. This guy had gone out of the way to help me through out from the time I booked a Swift Dzire VDI to delivery of my Ertiga.
Yes the VDI doesnot have automatic climate control, tubeless tyres, rear defogger, rear wiper, steering mounted Audio remote, etc

@hodlur,
Congrats on your White Ertiga. Which is the dealer you are getting your Ertiga from.
Sunny, yes the thermometer that is missing in the VDI is![[thumbsdown]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Thumbs%20Down.gif "Thumbs Down [thumbsdown]")

. Just a questions to expert, can waiting period vary from dealer to dealer? Would have been waiting period less if I have booked from dealers like Bimal or kalyani?
Congrats Hodlur.Thats really great news that you are getting ZDI so soon, I am also desperately waiting for this. I booked at Suraksha Car Care, electronics city. They are quoting it delivery somewhere in Aug/Sep .

If you take my case, as many did I had booked my Dzire ZDi at Mandovi in mid feb. Applied lot of political influence and by the time I was about to get Dzire, Ertiga was in news with good reviews. Before the release date of Ertiga, I enquired lot of dealers and their pre-booking status on Ertiga. Finally I found that Bimal was the place to be as he was also ready to take me to their yard and give the car for TD. Booked the same day(11th April) and went to Mandovi next day where my Dzire was booked and changed/new booking to Ertiga.
I found Bimal to be very responsive in giving me proper details especially from their GM(Pankaj) and my sales rep Mohan. Opening their records Bimal infact showed me my booking number(8th), the number of ZDis which will be shipped as part of 1st lot etc. I was clear I will be getting as part of their 2nd or 3rd lot (two dispatches happen in a month).
I continued getting influence on Mondovi to get ZDi soon but they were ready to give me VDi. I was also trying my luck at other places of karnataka like Mangalore but it was not useful. It was Bimal who are giving me ZDi early without using any kind of influence.
Between, Mandovi has asked me to come on 21st May to know my ZDi status.(chances are high that I will get allotted in mandovi as well due to influence

Last week we went to another dealer to book an Ertiga-Zdi for my cousin, they said "Sir, aapko SHAYAD se gaadi November me milegi, nahi to December me" and when I insisted my cousin to book the car from where I bought my Ertiga, my sales executive said "Sir, I'll give you your car by October's end without any delay" and so the same person booked another car from me.
Book your car there, where you get the most positive response.
