Thanks for you wishes Arun.
Here's Scross Alpha 1.6 OTR price breakup. I bought it in kochi, so prices may differ in other cities.
Ex showroom - 1254652
Extended warranty - 17439
Insurance - 34158
Road tax - 125465
Registration charge - 550
TCS charges - 12550
My Nexa Card - 1145
Corporate Offer - minus Rs. 10000
Final OTR price - 1435959
1.3 Alpha OTR was around 12.3 after discounts and 1.3 zeta was around 11 Lakhs. Zeta 1.3 is good VFM. I used to drive a Pete's remapped Ritz, so I was keen on 1.6 only.
Compared to 1.3 the clutch is a little bit heavier. Turbo lag is very manageable, it is not bad at all if you keep it above 1500 rpm.I read in another forum that maruti has tweaked the map of Scross to improve driveabilty. I've driven only about 1000 kms till now, so i hope engine response will only get better.
Cheers
