Hi Aditya, is there any way we would get a notification when this post has been copied into a new thread? I had no idea about this thread until @kaps454 quoted me. I usually get quotes and subscribed thread notifications via mail. Quote:

Hi Small Bot, we paid only the booking amount and it's currently being processed for return. I agree with you regarding PDI first and cash payment next. Quote:

However the other issues like non working sunroof return(which might just need calibration) and dirty upholstery is something that is not expected since the seats should arrive with their plastic covers on. |
Hi audioholic, thanks for enlighting me on the inconsistency in corner of the bumper, we all thought it was damaged. The major reason for rejecting this nexon is the non-working sunroof. Even though they fixed it in 2.5 days, we felt scared of having a potential problem right on top of our heads. Quote:

Most of these issues were minor or easily fixable. |
Hi GTO, thanks for your clarification on determining minor vs major issues. Quote:

Hi shabash, now I think about your situation vs mine, I consider myself lucky. The SA was transparent and immediately agreed to fix the problem once noticed. You made an intelligent decision back then by going for the following vehicle. Quote:

Great!! That's one inspirational story you have. Quote:

Hi Tgo, In my case, we were willing to wait for a good car. In meantime, we were checking other models, and went with a readily available Honda City. Quote:

I agree, the sunroof issue gave me chills. We decided not to go with cars with sunroofs. We selected Honda City V CVT for the same reason.
