Mine is in the initial run-in phase but a mix of city and ghat roads is giving me around 14 (tank to tank). Pure city with short distances and crawling traffic is between 9-11. All this is with AC running throughout in Pune's scorching summer and sedate driving.

I agree, Suzuki K12 is a beautiful engine and probably the best NA engine around for power and efficiency but try going for manual if you want to enjoy it's full potential. Also these 4 cyl NA engines might not survive the next round of emission standards so grab it if it suits your requirement.

Thanks for the FE numbers
That's one of the major push points along with the "if not now then when" feeling. MT is the best option to explore the engine so waiting for the TD vehicle. Since the 1.2 doesn't require a lot of gear changes that's a good option too. Even the AGS kept the Baleno in D2 in almost stop-go conditions and it pulled away without a sweat. I forced it to M1 once but realised immediately that it wasn't needed at all.
Looking back at the TD I feel that had this been a 1.2 4cylinder turbo AT, the experience would've been so much better.

Thanks for your prompt replies and happy driving with your Fronx, I will update on how things pan out after I take the TD of the 1.2 MT.

Re: Maruti Fronx Review

The machined-cut alloys are cheaper than the painted ones !
Is this a typo or am I missing something ?

This from the MGA website : Ref : MGA Fronx

I also noticed the same. Also the Baleno's machine cut alloys are 2k more expensive compared to Fronx's machine cut alloys, not sure about the reason.
