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?
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 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.
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.
