Re: New 2016 Maruti Ertiga Granite Grey ZDi+ SHVS: The Highway Champion!!!

Hi,
Congrats on the latest acquisition to your garage Awesome review too. Loved your style of writing. Ertiga is the most VFM option in the segment IMO. Wishes to clock many miles with smiles without any issues. Awesome colour choice I must say! Loved it to the bits. Please do include more pics. And please remove that red sticker on rear bumper. It would provide the car a much cleaner look. How is that touch screen behaving? How do you feel driving the Ertiga after driving Swift and Fiesta?

Tomorrow is gonna be a modification day for my ertiga all sort of stuffs like Leather seats, Full Mats, Sun Film, Roof Rails. At 3M Its Gonna be A PPF Wrap with Exterior Wax Polish For now Planned for a Under Chassis Coating pretty much soon. Then Tomorrow Its also a tyre change day!!!

The PPF is very VFM product. It prevents a lot of scratches in the area near the door handles. We are also planning to add those to our Vento. Is it good to add them on mirrors? Which tyres are you planning for? Why roof rails? I feel the car looks much better without them. For sunfilms, it is good to go for 3M CR70. A friend has done it in his XUV. He has a very satisfying experience.

The Front looks cool but i think maruti has over done it with a full on chrome grill

I would suggest you to wrap them in 3M matte black wrap. Or, for a change, go for the carbon fibre wrap. Would look cool, wot?

Best regards,
Harikrishnan

Hi Bro, Thanks for the wishes, Yes the Ertiga is one of the best packages that you can afford not only at the segment but also in maruti's entire line. Thanks bro IMO My writing style has improved way better from in which i started! and am very satisfied with it.Thanks all of us are very satisfied with the color, But on the other side needs alot of care and attention than my swift and fiesta as its even more on the darker side nearly black!!! so yeah its his second day at home and he's already visible dirty. Thankfully am gonna wash the car tomorrow at 3M.

Yes bro the PPF Is a worthy product to buy as its a darker color then needs a lot of protection from the bikers (Especially). But i can't fit it tomorrow as the applicator is leave tomorrow, So Decided to do Under Chassis Coating Replacing the PPF. Yes Bro It actually protects your ORVM'S From Getting scratched or from any sort of damages. Am gonna swap The Goodyear assurance tyres with Continental CC5 Tyres Spec Same as the stock ones 185/65 R15, Asked for the deal they said they can take those stock tyres for 3,000/- Rs So probably i should pay only 8K Additional. Fair Deal!!! Roof Rails Means Roof Carriers Bro Those Look good in Flesh I've Seen it once in a granite grey colour and it really adds to the looks. Sun films Am going for some Darker Shade Sun films Not As dark as the swift's But Quiet darker that could give some Privacy...

Frankly speaking i love the engine and the performance an dynamics stuff the car feels solid on the highways and the 90PS Engine feels a hole lot different from my swift even the engine sound is different! The Pick Up is Phenomenal if you shift the gears as said by the shift indicator you could extract the best pick up you could get from! I did it today gave a awesome start up in the signal. All of us are having a hole lot different Experience From what we had with swift and fiesta, Ertiga If we want to define what its for us like: Spacious,Comfortable, Luxurious experience heels like leagues ahead of its rival, Reliable like a usual maruti car does and feature rich.

Regarding the Front Chrome Grill even though i don't like it, don't wanna wrap it.. Just wanna to leave it as it is for a year or so.


ODO Currently at: 238Km

Mileage at:17.4 not much of a damage in city driving, Cause of SHVS

Thanks for the wishes bro, Ertiga is an awesome car feels a hole lot upmarket than my Swift in the interiors even tho they share the same interiors, frankly speaking of you hide the logo you can't recognize whether it's a Maruti or not. Yes that's the only thing I'd very shocking for me too they added SHVS, push start stop button, autofolding mirrors, a 7" smartplay audio system and so on but doesn't have a auto AC but even a less pricy swift, dzire and brezza gets it!!!! Maruti has to take serious steps to fit in a auto AC. And awesome bro can I get a pic of your ertiga?

These are pics of my car. Sorry for OT.
