Summary:
Good features for a reasonable price
Faults:
That car was 1998 model, so it's old, and every month I had to take it to the workshop. Its engine got weak, and piston rings and valves were worn out
General Comments:
The engine of this car is really powerful.
If you use Iridium spark plugs, it gives up to 230km per cylinder.
A/C is good.
Beautiful car.
Not very comfortable, but reasonable.

Summary:
Overall it's very beautiful and good, also on CNG
Faults:
Driver door lock was broken a few days ago. It's all plastic and not very well made.
Doors themselves are poor in quality.
Brakes on general tyres, which come as standard, are poor.
Window winding system is very poor.
Seats are not so bad, but the rear ones don't seat 3 comfortably because of their shape.
Body is very weak steel and plastic.
In the Santro that I bought new in 2003, the fit and finish was way better than this car.
General Comments:
Its engine is excellent.
CNG system is excellent.
Except for the door handle, I didn't have any trouble with the car.
It runs well on CNG at motorway speed, and in spite of the CNG cylinder, its trunk space behind the rear seats will carry a lot of things if you buy bags which are slim and fit in there.
A/C is excellent. Cooling system seems good.
Its CNG system keeps it as powerful as it is on petrol, which is better than in the Santro, which I also bought new in 2003.
Its brakes are also better than the Santro.

Summary:
Good
Faults:
Well the CNG setting is not OK with my car, don't know about the others. EXCEPT this CNG setting, every thing is going perfect.
And one more thing, the alignment is not correct.
General Comments:
Well the new Cultus 1.0 efi is going well. It's 16 valve and 4 cylinder, and it's very good in on second gear. It completes to 90 km/h at 6000 rpm.
But this new model is very comfortable, and is very good; buy it.

I have this car for last 5 months i.e. VXRi. It is good city car for small family. Its CNG version is good but according to most of people it has only one problem like Liana, it takes more time to convert from Gasoline to CNG.
Pak-Suzuki should add good quality of tires with it and should reduce its price.
My friends, I have bought Cultus VXRi on 22 August 08 and it is going well. Till now I drove 1000 km on petrol and then on CNG when I came from the workshop the workers could not make the setting properly, then my driver had adjusted it. If you have one you must go the dealer. The best car in Pakistan paksuzuki hits...
I have recently bought a Suzuki Cultus VXRi, and to date I'm a satisfied customer. The only problem is that it starts on petrol and stays on petrol for 90 seconds, and so the petrol bill has increased. But as as far as I have been able to investigate, even Pak Suzuki are helpless in this case.
Let me clarify to the users that it is always good for piston engines to be started on petrol and then converted to CNG. It's not about being helpless for Suzuki, it's about lack of knowledge of the technician you consulted. This is an additional feature of the new CNG kits that they start the car on petrol irrespective of the fact that you switched it OFF on CNG. For all those who do not follow this, I recommend that give the first start of your car on petrol, let the heat gauge touch the first graded line on the temperature gauge, then convert to CNG before your wheels roll. Doing so will not only enhance life of your engine, but you will feel the difference even while driving on that day. Enjoy...
