Bought the Ertiga ZDI from Mysore Friendly motors on Nov 2014 (1st love was also from same place)

Had lot of plans but could not get it done before delivery (like changing tyre to Michelin tyres ,head light upgrade ) which was not done due to time /labour issue .

Bought it on Nov 1st and mod`s/changes are below ,Not sure on the invoice break up as i signed on the doc`s + sale letter for alto and came back to Bangalore ,sales manager Kishan made sure all is taken care without any problems but got it on a good deal

-Seat-covers -8500/-
-Side beading-1250/-
-Rain visor on all 4 doors -1250/-
-3M under coating -4000/-

-3M body polish (some protect not sure )2000/- from 3M
-led parking lights -200/-
-Head Light alignment(near BTM lake road ) - 250/- worth it


==================================
+ve To tell in Simple lines
- Its a highway runner and not a Bangalore/Mysore city rider
-Mileage - I normally don't check (as i cant keep tab on these things )
-comfort -front and middle row is heaven with seat pushed back (with 7 ppl on board it gives decent space and ride comfort )

-Ve`s -

-Seat rattling (temp fix by tightening the bolts on every visit to service center )
-Middle row ac rattling ( Fixed as per the maruti`s advisory to use foam )
-Wind cutting noise from the front panels (They are still doing R & D on my love -even after i showed them the TAI and team bhp`s reviews )
-on any speed breaker(even with 10kmph ..that too inside the GR tech park so many speed breakers ) the sub box jumps and makes noise


========
problems faced
-Right side driver door damaged when i was waiting in signal (TN-Coimbatore) -its autowala`s mistake (local`s saw the car reg no as KA and they said its my mistake where in bus drivers and other locals supported me ,still could not fight back )
-Right side mirror replacement - again autowala in sarjapur road came to left (i was in left lane -auto in middle lane) he said sorry ...was close to 70 years i said its fine (no other options )

-For the above door replacement gave the car to friendly motors and they screwed the painting of the new door and the right side glossy look got some rough paint layer (which i escalated to maruti and they have agreed to fix in next service )
