Re: Maruti S-Presso : Official Review

It would be great if someone can figure out how to make the suspension softer similar to the CNG S-presso. My S-presso went for the first year service. I mentioned this to the advisor but he claimed there is no difference. I am quite sure that CNG S-presso's ride is better and @DCEite also seems to agree.

thank you Maverick Avi. I find it strange too that they are not able to make sound parcel tray fitment, guess Wagon R is matured product and S-presso is her budget sibling which is comparatively new.

Problem with parcel tray in S-presso is that it doesn't fits in the front grooves provided for it to not to vibrate / rattle securely. This is due to cheap and misaligned plastic. Also the round grooves on the rear end of tray which are provided to help in seamless lifting of the parcel tray from front so that bags can be put in boot don't hold the tray for long leading to fall of parcel tray in boot. We are at peace after we removed it.

I agree with the need of parcel tray to keep the stuff in boot safe however in Pune anti-social elements have slightly different flavor, they get happiness by breaking the glasses / vandalizing the vehicles in random. Touch wood, we don't see it much in our area.

Your increased perception of road bumps in spresso can be because your other car Hector has soft set suspension. Spresso being a short wheelbase high riding car, its suspension cant be softened beyond a limit without compromising its handling.
FYI @ 22k km mark, I exchanged all four oem tyres to apollo amazer 4g life because the oem mrf were very puncture prone. I found the apollo tyre more comfortable, more silent and more confidence inspiring at high speed but with slight drop in fuel efficiency.
After tyre change i find Spresso rides better than Ignis, our other car at home.

Since our car is red, so my wife got the OEM interior decoration OEM parts installed for door garnish, AC vents & central screen kit of red colour which actually changed the look of the car from inside in positive way.
Nice choice of interior treatment. Vibrant red makes the interior look very lively, sure would enhance the driving experience.
My wife was looking for something in this segment a few years back and while the SPresso was more engaging to drive with the better AMT gearbox and engine, she picked up the kwid purely for the looks but your SPresso indeed looks quite good!

Thanks Dr. Abhi, you are right, we are spoiled by Hector. OEM MRF tyres are no doubt hard rubber but till now they are working well for us, no punctures yet except the hard ride. I will eventually replace them with Yoko's or Apollo.
