Phone connectivity issues using Bluetooth:

Came across following user review on carwale
>> I was surprised to know This *%#$ Ciaz car doesn't support iPhones??? The salesman told me it supports just few Nokia and few Samsung models only. It means it doesn't even support all models of other phones as well. It is hard to believe but it is truth.

Can Ciaz owners share some info? Does phone connectivity using bluetooth work for you? Which models have issues?
I am gonna check this out over the weekend in the demo car.

I am using Xiaomi mi3.
Its connecting very well.When a call comes it directly rings on car speakers.
Salesman are just to sell car.They mostly have no idea about functioning of the car.
MY sales executive and his manager had to confirm if zdi comes with dual air bags even after I told them its there.
They mailed etc before giving me a reply that was after more than a month after the launch of the car.

So I guess its clear.The service manager/advisor of the one who gives walk-through of the car has to have enough knowledge.

Thanks a lot schimulkar.

So Androids look ok. Any iPhone guys? Or has anyone tried iPhone in demo car atleast?

Manual transmission owners are getting 16-18Kmpl. That's pretty impressive - especially for first couple of months.

Also, can Ciaz AT owners share mileage and running Km figures?

Oh...and exorbitantly costly Honda accessories. Metal Pedal shift set @ Honda is Rs. 2500. Maruti is just Rs.500.
That is why I opted for Ciaz. Whatever people say about Maruti not having premium brand presence and blah blah, it gives value to your hard earned money. I am feeling more and more satisfied with my decision/purchase. I am getting a lot of accessories and mostly not paying a huge sum and they are good quality. Only complain I have that there is a shortage in supply and Maruti probably collecting data on popular accessories.

@due11027 Do you have list of accessories and their prices? Can you post?

I connected Samsung S4 mini in exactly 45 seconds. One has to read manual to connect. Sales execs are not expected to know so many things in such a short time, they will learn with experience.

Most of the criticism of Ciaz originates from our resistance to accept a new model, specially something which seem to be too good to be true. We are following brands blindly without actually doing some research and believe hearsay. The numbers would tell the true story in few months and then everyone will find good things about it. :biggrin:

Ciaz prices are not low; In the same price you could get any C2 segment car, then why people opting for it: it has an elegant look like more expensive cars and not flashy, its got space, ASS is reliable, it matches features with any other car in segment. I would say it is for guys who want a comfortable and peaceful ride and not for ones who only focus on brand or engine specifications.

Tyres make a huge difference in the noise. I have observed the same in my baleno and am no fan of MRF tyres. I did a test drive of Ciaz petrol in Chennai.....the dealer was kind enough to let me drive for over 30km, and I didnt really notice any abnormal tyre noise. Not sure what tyres the test car had. But tyre noise being highly subjective, its better to drive another car with non MRF tyres to check if its a problem specific to MRF tyres.

Please check the tyre pressure. I too faced similar noise. Pressure in all 4 tyres was 44. After a month, finally this was identified an pressure was maintained as recommended 32. Now no issue. All dealers overfill air in tyres while delivery. My personal experience.

Request all Ciaz AT owners to please share mileage and running Km figures.
FE of AT models is concern to many prospective buyers.
