Maruti DZire VXi

Car drives excellently and I did 780 km in first three days. It returned 19.8 kmpl on the highway
However, there is prominent rattling when clutch pedal is pressed to shift gear from 1st to 2nd. I tried another car owned by one more owner along with technician from Maruti Sai Service Pune. We observed same problem in that car too. This was during my first free servicing at 1000 km. Owners can share their experience so that we can discuss this with Maruti.

Recently, I purchased a DZIRE VXI after reading number of good reviews for this car, but I feel that most of the reviews are marketing gimmicks because nobody provide the car registration number. My purchase of DZIRE VXI is a great disappointment for me as it is a one of the worst car I had driven. The car is unable to move when I release clutch, it starts jerking every time. The need of acceleration to move the car is a great headache, especially to drive this car in bumper to bumper traffic. I reported this issue to Maruti but, they are telling me that it is normal because the initial rpm of these cars are low. If they increase the initial rpm, it will hamper the mileage. However, the mileage of the car with the current setting is not very great as I am getting only 12-13 km/l in-spite of that the 50% of my driving route is clean.

Poor built quality but rich in looks, on speed above 120 kmph vehicle's braking performance is very poor . vehicle is lightweight to improve fuel efficiency. the sheet metal gauge used is very thin quality.
