Maruti Suzuki Eeco
₹ 5.32 Lakh Onwards
I am owning Maruti Eeco
I am owning Maruti Eeco for the last 8 months and my sincere advice for the new buyers is donot buy this cheapo vehicle buy a Venture instead which is more advanced and more safe.
Let me explain JD power survey and effiecient sales network of suzuki is all hogwash these surveys are all covered up by suzuki.Once you buy the vehicle the call centre without any authenticity keeps calling you about dealer service and asks you to give points but when I asked why not let me rate suzuki and their car instead they donot have any answer.None of the dealer gives any personalised service, Tata fiat is better even though they are less in numbers.
Now vehicle eeco looks big but actually space is vertical and unusable try it to believe it.Its a luggeage van called kei vans of japan and for indian condition it has been added with two different level platforms at rear and at boot higher than drivers cab all co2 welded.the reason is not clear to me where as (though unsafe) omni has better space utilisation.
Steering is totally vague as old versa has been stripped off with EPS column without changing the geometry of linkages and rollback to center after a small turn is not felt try omni which is far better.Also slide over the humps neither front nor rear soaks bumps one feels the short travel of dampers it means suzuki has not spent time to fine tune spring rating visa vis damper ratings or they might still be depending on brainless engineers located in Japan.
Try driving with four people 280Kgs and loggage of about 150Kgs Engine strains and with a/c on vehicle struggles to pick speed.Try again for parking in city one sure going to have muscle catch.
