New Suzuki Cultus VXL 2018 Owners Review

[hash737]

Owner of which vehicle bhai? Wrong thread post?

I am using stock tyres and i always believe in stock tyre size. Anything other thn stock tyre size is just plain stupidity amd jahalat.

[pwuser151957030726]

If i want to change the tyres with same stock tyre size suggest me which company tyre is best

[hash737]

I am.yet to explore this. I will start my working on mew tyres next week and update the thread

.Salam

Took car to dealership yesterday as 1000km inspection was due.

Suprisingly suzuki guys checked car step by step. Cleaned plugs, tightendd bolts and stuff like that.

But to my surprise a computer was computer was connected with cars obd port and suzuki guy told me car has a sofware update which helps and controls emission better i did not buy him until he did it. Update from a suzuki for a suzuki thats a first.

After that a gadget was connected with batter and it checked its conditions in various operations and then printed report of battrry.

Everytime a suzuki guy entered my car i had to tell him GO WASH YOUR HANDS ad they wete too greasy and it does not come off easy lol.

I am facing a kharak/buzzing sound on hugh rpm and unpaved vibrating road from back of audio system. Diagnosed it yesterday and its the kharak of the audio system from the inside. Clarion guy was contacted and he will visit my home.in the coming week to either adjust it or replace the audio sustem under warranty.

I'm thinking to buy cultus vxl. Wanted to go for an automatic one; however that's gonna cost a lot more.
Could you comment on cultus vxl clutch? Is it stiff? I doubt it's hydraulic; or is it?

[pwuser151957030726]

I think engine and ac wise wagon r is far better than cultus. Wagon r has silent engine and no cabin noise but in cultus there is a noisy cabin. I am worried. What ur experience hash comment on this issue

[hash737]

Salam. Buddy i wanted auto variant too but its too expemsive so settled for manual cultus as i already have auto city and civic.

The clutch is soft and gears just need direction push to swap. If you read couple reviews of celerio on internet soecially the UK automotive critics have termed celerio gearbox the finest in thus category. I thoroughly enjoy changing its gears. I sold a prestine condition vti oriel mamual 2005 last month and then bought cultus but to be honest did not feel like i downgraded. Cultus gear box is seriously impressive

[hash737]

Buddy i wanted.a daily routine car to drive in islamabad as it has gone too damn crowded in last few years so i settled for Cultus. I test drove wagon r and Cultus bith before buying. I only drove wagon r for 5 mins and immediately rejected it because its driving position is odd and the car looks weird and funny.

Cultus is fun to drive. I dont have any loud cabin complain. The fan throw is very good but i have not used ac yet as isb is still pretty chilly so cant say much. But like i posted before wagon r and Cultus ac should be same and cuktus probably be even better but not worse

[hash737]

345km in exact half tank. Cluster is showing 19.5km/l but i guess thats even more thn wht its showing.

Ill have a better.manual calculation when fuel.tank empties Nd i get full tank refill.

[pwuser151957030726]

I hv changed the tyre with 175/65 dunloop 82t and feeling better experience

[pwuser149281374885]

I have driven cultus on rough roads with stock tyres. Car is 200 km on odo. It has smooth and comfortable drive than wagon r I can surely say that as I have just sold my wagon r 2017 6k driven and bought Cultus VXL immediately. It has less cabin noise as compared to wagon r. Clutch is very smooth as compared to wagon r, gear shift is just love (just try it and tell me) and AC is chill. I can't keep it ON for more than 2 minutes literally. Only complain I have about its interior material quality, it should have been better.

[pwuser151957030726]

I think the wagon r has been recognised as the most silent engine but in cultus little bit noisy cabin. Wagon r as is more chill than this however the cultus has more smooth drive. Good looking and more spacious cabin with more features

[pwuser152008819883]

Was salam. Thanks mate for the feedback on clutch. A bit relieved; since traffic here in karachi is crazy. My other concern was the build quality; interior specially. Wouldn't want it to have weird noises within the cabin after few thousand KMs really hard to convince your heart to spend 1.4 million on cultus.

[hash737]

i know, with 1.4 million in my pocket i went to almost every car dealer in isb and pindi to buy a jdm but nothing convinced me with spending my hard earned money on them because of being shady.

Cutlus interior is not something which would blow your mind, in my opinion its build quality is exactly the same as city so there is much to expect from a pkdm in terms of build quality.

when i bought it the interior looked very dull and colour looked faded to me but detailing it properly with my meguires ultimate interior detailer and you can see in the above pic how it looks now.

same was the case with my new city.

upon delivery the car developed buzzing and kharak noise from two places, one point was from right bottom of interior and another buzzing sound from audio system. the first one was immediately fixed as it was only a loosend nut and the other buzzing is being taken care by suzuki as the audio system will be replaced the slight buzzing on potholes is coming from inside the audio system.

believe me i am very prone to any irregular sound or smell so i immediately go mental whenever i hear a irregular sound in car and fix it only then i can drive in peace. my point is this car is very good in terms of being silent and weird noises (atleast to me)

i live in islamabad and use it inside islamabad as my daily routine car so no weird noises so far.

i have only driven car 1200km

[pwuser151957030726]

Hash Can u share the small clip of engine sound if possible.

[hash737]

this video is made by a pakwheel member, hope this helps.

[sohaib.barlas]

i got my 1000km inspection done for my ags, they did not check the plugs in my case
my avg meter showing 15.5
althouh so far manual calculation says around 14
i HAVENT done proper manual claculation though by filing the tank completely
i also inquired about the software update from the mechanic there, n he said there is no such thing
confused....

[amaarali]

Bro did u change oil after 1000 or was it just a checkup

[hash737]

salam, its strange that at 1000km they did not clean air filter and open plugs and cleaned them.

you should have asked them do so, i posted pic above and at 1000km my car was inspected from everywhere cleaned spark plugs and air filter i did not have to tell them anything they were doing it all themself.
about the update im not sure your dealer if offerring that yet or not, a guy named NOOR came to my car and said laptop connect kerna hai and he connected and updated the software even showed me previous version and new version.

[hash737]

salam, as per the above pic posted on 1000km the plugs were opened and cleaned along with air filter, no consumable was changed i.e lubricants at 1000km.
