I own Maruti Versa but now I fell like changing the car as soon as possible.
I don't find this car upto the mark of Maruti family. The features and performance which generally Maruti car has is absent in this car. Thinking it a member of Maruti I thought this car would be really good but I am very much disappointed.
The moment I started my car and vhroooooooom a sound came from somewhere. The gears also started making noise after some time. Also I started confronting problems while breaking and clutching. AC was also not working well when loaded to full capacity.
In my case all the things went wrong with my versa. Also as of now so many varied models with different designs are available that I find my versa just a big box.
Over all I found it as not so good car as per expectation.
