I have a Honda CityZX with a manual gearbox. I am quite happy with it except that the clutch is quite hard and makes it annoying to drive around in dense traffic. The car has completed 35000kms.
I was thinking of buying the new Maruti SX4 which now features VVT engine and an automatic gearbox.
I have read that the SX4’s auto box is only 4-speed and is not as good as the All New Honda City’s 5-speed gearbox. But I am still interested in the SX4 as it is Rs 2 lakhs lesser than the City and has a better ground clearance.
I have contacted Maruti dealers and was told that that the SX4 automatic isn’t in production until April ’10.
Then I started getting the doubt that the auto box might be faulty.
The two main doubts I have are:
1. Is it worth replacing my CityZX with the new SX4 automatic? Is it a wise decision?
2. Is the SX4’s automatic gearbox a reliable one? Or are there any defects in the design?
Thank you
