REVIEW : Wonderful car of its class. Cheap price wise and durable with high resale value. Service and parts very cheap, for example tail light of esteem is one fourth of any other car of its range. Cng can be fitted and good resale because it can be used as taxi. Maintenance is almost as low as of maruti 800. Luxurious and comfort..........you will feel when you will buy it.

REVIEW : If you are considering a 3 box among Ikon, Accent or Aveo, I suggest close your eyes and go for the Esteem VXi. You get most of the premium car stuff with a most comfortable drive. Quite friendly on the pocket and maintenance free. I am loving my car for the last 6 months since I took it out of the showroom. Happy driving on an ESTEEM!!

REVIEW : I bought Black Esteem VXI last year in April 2005 from Pasco Automobiles. I did a market survey and also looked for features and was confused in Hyundai Accent & Esteem VXI. However finally i made up my mind as the CD Player and Sproiler were available in Esteem as per my budget while in accent i had to shell out another 55,000 for such features. Its really a classy car. Gives me a mileage of 16 KMPL on highways with A/C on. Pick is a issue right now however its a fact that after crossing 10,000 km the pick up will raise. I dont want to comment on the leg space as all others have alreay mentioned. However looking at the pocket the space is sufficient. Exteriors are excellent and they are topped with excellent service provided by the dealer Pasco Automobiles. Its definitely a good buy . Go for it.

REVIEW : I bought my maruti esteem in Mar 06. I was surprised to see the 1st paid service as high as Rs 4500. That is really expensive - this is equivalent to a honda city - so how is this car any cheaper in terms of maintainence ?

REVIEW : I purchased an 10 year old second hand Esteem LX.It gives mileage of 12-14 kmpl in city and 15-16 kmpl on highway. But though it gives less mileaga I enjoy good running, smoothness and extremely good pickup. Instead of giving very less mileage I enjoy driving this car. I purchased it at the price of a bike. I often travel on highways with my family, which is not possible on a bike. Two months before I visited Pune, on the Bombay-Pune highway I topped the speed of 20kmph. I was very impressed with my car. I love my car very much.

REVIEW : Hi, I have gone through all the comments and difficulties in Esteem, I bought my car in August 2006, I accept all the tech. difficulties, faced. I also have gear suspension, problem, but very minor, happens sometimes. Free Service at authorised service centre also to be improved (i.e) not up to the expectation. They take so many feed backs from me, but I don't know what happens to that, (i.e) I want some response from the other side, so that I can correct if I am wrong. But look and fuel consumption wise it is the best car in it's category.

REVIEW : We got our Esteem VXI BII in July 2003 and have never had any trouble with it ever since. We are getting 14-15 KMPL in city limits with the AC on. Our black elegant Esteem even comes with a spoiler which enhances looks. Interiors are Ok, engine performance, suspension and handling is outstanding, especially since its a fully loaded car with all features. However, Maruti could have fitted a CD player instead of the Kenwood Radio/Cassette Player.
Fantastic buy, wonderful value for money. You'll never be sorry if you buy this car. Incidently it is the national rally champion in its class.

REVIEW : MY SUGGESTION
You have introduced Wagon R duo ( Petrol + LPG ), without reducing the original petrol tank capacity.
ESTEEM is highly successful car in all times. Why not you make it more consumer friendly and economical ---------- It is suggested that you should introduce Esteem duo [Petrol + CNG (14 KG maruti factory fitted tank]without reducing the existing petrol tank capacity in all models.
I am waiting for this car.

REVIEW : Esteem is indeed a good car. It has the potential to become the best car....I have few problems with the gear box of the car. I cant shift gears as smoothly as i want. Interior of the car can be improved. Maruti authorised service centers are not giving a good service.............Maruti should seriously make an attempt to upgrade the car. It needs to be taken to an altogether new level.

REVIEW : I have purchased this in Nov 05. Very elegant and good power steering. Good on fuel too. Engine conks unexpectedly when traffic light goes green and gear shifted to 1st. Also gear shifting is slightly uncomfortable from 3rd to 2nd. I hope it will settle down as car runs sufficient km.

REVIEW : Guys i purchased a second hand esteem which had clocked 82,000kms and i have been using it for more than one year now(more than 20000kms), the car is now post 1lac km mark but no sign of trouble.... awesome pickup, top speed and fuel efficiency of 13kmpl in city and 17kmpl on highway are really something to tak about...all i have done is got the car serviced at regular intervals that too the spares are pretty cheap.... i would recommend this car to anybody who has a small budget and loves to smash mud in the eyes of other costlier cars with its unbelievable pick up.... GO 4 IT

REVIEW : I bought Maruti Esteem VXI-BSIII in December 2005. The car is giving me a mileage of 13-14 kmpl in city with AC. The car has a very sluggish pickup. You HAVE to raise the engine to atleast 2000 rpm for a decent enough start. As far as aesthetics and useability goes the controls on the dashbord are of 90s era. The gear shifting is not at all smooth , I feel Maruti definitely needs to do something about their gear technology in ALL their cars.

REVIEW : Well after 3-4 months research in the market and dealers,i lastly opted for Maruti esteem LXi this feb.(between Ikon,Indigo,etc.) due to late mover, i got best discounts from competent auto.
Maruti esteem is most probably the best car comparing to others in the same price range..Most effective is the looks from outside. Its grille just like Baleno gives a look of a bigger car from front than it is..Interior is good..but not the best quality.Space in front is good but rear seats are somewhat clumsy.leg space is also very little.Boot space is ok.
But comparing the price and the service network, it is the best car to be recommended in its price range.

REVIEW : An Excellent car. However it has one design flaw for the front power windows. The movement up and down is not smooth....it is jerky & rattles.Ever since I purchased the car this has been the only sore point. Complaints have not been satisfactorily attended to by the dealer/manufacturer. |
