Ertiga waiting period in Hyderabad is much.I forget about WP a.k.a waiting period.

Hi,
Does anyone know if Ertiga comes with door-side-impact bars? The Indonesian version has it as mentioned by their website.
Thanks.

I booked Elegance Europa seat covers by paying full amount (Rs. 6138) because of 15th August discount offer of 34% even though I am yet to take delivery of my Ertiga

.

I will get other accessories from Autozone only once I get the delivery of my car. Items included in my list are:

1.Door side protectors
2.Side Beeding (Preferable body color)
3.Beeding for bumpers
4. Door Sil Gaurd
5. Reverse parking Sensors (I find it more convenient than camera)
6. Philips 90/100 head bulbs with relay
7. Steering cover
8. Floor mats

Is there a better/cheaper place to buy the accessories from in Ghaziabad/Delhi?

Hi,
Try Karol bagh, Lajpat nagar, old delhi, and sec16 noida

I had booked Dusky Brown ertiga zdi on july 28th and was supposed to get delivery on 25th of this monthg. but today got a call from the dealer that it wil take another 2 weeks more and was offered beige zdi ready for delivery which i declined as my mom didnt like it. moreover my 10 year old wagonR is also beige and we wanted a change. now the wait continues for 2 more weeks !!!!

Congrats buddy,
I am not so lucky. Took delivery of Ertiga ZDI in last week of july. Within 1250 KMs running, engine oil leakage started.
Car is in service station since last saturday. Maruti has found no reason for the leak, they open it every day, without any resolution.
Dont know how long the ordeal is going to last. It was giving milage of 15.8 in 1250 kms running though.
God bless it !

Hi all,

Got our Silky Silver ertiga Zdi on 18th saturday evening and took it to my home town 250 kms straight away. and came back on monday night total 730 kms.

so far happy with the performance, A/c Stereo felt good, Turbo lag - getting used to it as i am migrating from my baleno, for night driving i have felt the illumination is not up to the mark ( it was a rainy night) so thinking of up gradation.

dealer didnt give any freebies, just done the side beeding and teflon coating plus the reverse sensor, which they hav installed last tuesday. (BTW on return the remote of stereo seems missing ).
will get new seat covers and mats ASAP.

Hi done about 1700 kms with 4 fuel fills. Hence posting further review. After second full tank (in middle an outstation trip was done by Ertiga), i have got 14.5 kmpl in city and 19 kmpl in highway. I also got 1000km service done from some other dealer in Thane (not Spectra Motors from where i purchased the car). Service quality issue - they didn’t do cleaning inside car. Reason stated the machine wasn’t working. Maruti ASS going down day by day. Also they didn’t do setting properly which reduced my avg to 12.5kmpl. Had to resend the car to Service center second time for proper setting . They set it right second time and now getting 14.32 kmpl.
Mileage story so far in History of my LUV Ertiga ZDI
1st refill – 13.66 kmpl (City)
2nd refill- 14.5 kmpl (City)/ 19 (Highway)
3rd refill- 12.5 kmpl
4th refill – 14.32kmpl
Thus mileage is superb given the fact that we have neck to neck driving in Mumbai. My 38 km distance to office from residence takes 2 hours daily.
Some malfunctioning from Front Wipers which has got stopped. It was like wiper being dragged. Bit weird. Now some noise from rear wiper coming.
Ertiga draws curious onlookers. I seen a swift owner slowing down, halting and then following me to see LUV from all angles. Another 2 toyota innova owners exclaiming this is just like innova from maruti. When Toyota innova owners makes such observations on the car you know the LUV has made its mark.

any of the services involved synthetic oil or normal mineral oil
did service centre persuade you to do so
also how has been the cost of servicing so far

DrRG · 24th August 2012, 05:54 PM

Folks,

I am offered Ertiga VDi Granite Grey instead of originally booked ZDi Firebrick Red

. I am confused

. I like Granite grey too, infact it is the best color for Ertiga. Only issue is ZDi Vs VDi. All my previous cars are usually mid versions. This is first time I wanted to go for a top version with all the features.
Dealer is not commiting any delivery timeline for ZDi

. In your opinion, should I let it go and wait further for ZDi? Or Should I settle with VDi? My main worry is airbags and music system quality.
Please suggest....

If that is the case, please wait and buy the car and color you wanted rather than worrying about the current decision, it may take a month or so, bit you will be satisfied as per your need.
