Not sure about that, but it's bumper to bumper and claimed for a big amount recently.
Its the same thing.

After claiming Insurance, (that means no NCB) 11k for renewal is awesome.
I paid close to 15 k for the same.

BTW, which insurance do you have ? and whats the IDV calculated for your car?

Got chance to mess with the Brio after a long gap.

No issues so far other than AC needing slight workup and some city use touchups. New problem cropped up, not starting when parked in incline.


Windscreen washer broke off, not availabel with dealer for some time. Even they glued it last time. I have retrofitted a Wagon R nozzle in Matiz and Brio one looked similar, so gave a shot and it was exactly the same minus a rubber spacer. Removed the spacer and adjusted the lock a bit and it fitted perfect. Took time and 2 liter water to position the jets [evil]

Also removed the tint residue, which was removed by RTO people 2 years back. Was a bit tough as it has been on for quite some time.

As far as I know, only routine oils and filters, maybe brake pads changed, not sure. Cousin won't keep track of these things, do whatever the service people say. Once they took for a ride, saying AC compressor gone and all. Only then I intervened and only clogged filter. Tyres are still stock. One taillamp, headlamp and front bumper changed. Rest are all stock.

Hit the 50k mark range

Drove it 250 km. Power delivery is lazy, no surge. Happy in the 60-70. Missing the torque after driving the turbo diesels.

Between my last post and this, battery and tyres were replaced.

Battery was a Bosch one as the car broke down near our regular Bosch car care. I asked them to get Amaron, but instead bought Bosch. 18 months replacement warranty.

Tyres were good for 2-3k more km if rotated, but they changed it instead.; Bought Goodyear Assurance, without asking me. Good comfort and handling, but horrible cabin noise. With glass down, no noise, but with glass up, horrible noise intrudes into the cabin.

Cost of both unknown.
