      It is an excellent & comfortable vehicle. With ample leg space & a comfortable dicky. Maruti is a name that really speaks of quality & comfort. I strongly recommend my friends & extended family members to go for Maruti cars. I hope my experience with the new Ciaz Delta Automatic car will be equally good.
