i purchased from spectra but went to vitesse thinking they give better service. as i write my car charging unit is gone bad again. for this i had gone to spectra thane from where i had purchased my ertiga.
i have realised all dealers are the same. its luck if you get a good car.
so far i tried fortpoint thane (1st service), vittesse (2nd service) and spectra (original purchase vendor).
can you pls share your experience with Vitesse
Finally I found someone whose BIG TIME DISAPPOINTMENT is same as me. I don't know if there is any way we can make the ride quality better. So next thing I can hope is improvement of road quality in Maharashtra.[:D] I have seen most of the users are from South India and they have no complaints about ride quality. I assume better roads can be the reason.
I also bought the car from VITESSE mumbai but unfortunately my experience was horrible with them. Overall I feel Vitesse is not much different than other dealers.

I stay in Mulund and Vitesse is too far for me to visit. But just because my fried said its a good dealer I decided to take chance. I never visited the showroom until the delivery date. We I requested test drive after Ertiga launch, executive bought the test drive car to my home. When I decided to book it for all formalities he used to come home only.

The car was not ready on delivery date and the executive was not aware about this till we reached the showroom.
The I realized he screwed up my request for wooden finish interiors. He just painted the parts on their own instead of providing MGA parts.
I had to fight for 2 days to get MGA parts but he also painted some additional parts like dashboard etc which MGA do not cover. So I decided to keep them. In the end it was a profit for me but again with headache.
Car had lot of stains while taking delivery and some of them were too hard to remove, even with diesel. We had to use rubbing compound to remove them.
I visited Service station near Siddhivinayk Temple and again the quality of service was average. The car was not cleaned properly, maybe because it was a free service.
I have visited Fortpoint, Navneet, Spectra and I do not feel anything special about Vitesst.

Hi Saby, I play songs from USB which has a folder for each movie. I am not sure why the songs are not played in order sorted by folder name. Example : Let say I have four folders on USB; CCC, EEE, DDD and AAA. I expect the player to play the songs from AAA first, then CCC followed by DDD and EEE. But the player starts from some random folder. Are you aware in what order these folders are getting sorted.

PS: I have not enabled any Random play option provided in the player.
Hi Hodlur, I have the same query. Did you find the answer? If so, please share. Thanks.

Hello Thomas,

Welcome to The Automotive India. Good to know that our board helped you choose your car. Now, how about posting the ownership report tagged with couple of pictures[;)]? Feel free to do so in a separate thread.

Cheers.

Could you please also post the costs of each accessory or mod etc. so that we have a better idea of what to expect to pay. It will be helpful.
