My dad had a Maruti 1000 when I was a child. We modified it's colour from grey to violet. Our neighbours used to call it Tarzan the wonder car. It was a car which was worth modifying.
In other countries, the Esteem was called the swift. This was the sedan version. The hatchback version of that era (1990s) had the same front end as this.
The Esteem was based on the Suzuki Cultus platform. General Motors sold their versions in North America as the Chevrolet Sprint, Pontiac Firefly and Geo Metro. The Pontiac Firefly was sold exclusively in Canada, as well as the sedan version of the Geo Metro. Suzuki sold the Esteem in the U.S. and Canada, which was based on the Cultus Crescent platform and sold in Europe and India as the Baleno.
The Esteem is actually called the Swift Cultus sedan, and 1st gen swift(that's never sold in India) hatch was based on that sedan, after that the Dzire 1st gen replaced the cultus(Esteem) then came the Ciaz as a successor. P.S :- SX4 is not a successor of esteem but the old Baleno sedan.
I had an Esteem which was an amazing car Used it for 10 years and had driven it for 53000 km with the top speed achieved @170km/l on mumbai pune express way. @faisal khan
Durga Car Decor is to Faisal, what CNC Motors is to Doug! I miss this car a lot. I still believe it is one of the last great cars previously sold by Maruti, and that G13 engine actually powered the legendary Gypsy as well.
Well it seems like old cars were more fun to drive than present car. Also they sounded great too be it esteem, old city, were capable of clocking 100kmph in 2nd gear, i doubt modern day cars under 10 lakh could do the same.
Both G10B and G13B in Zen and Esteem were bullet proof engines and yes engines were delightfully vocal. All newer engines are very weak. Try downshifting from 100kmph ( in thrid or fourth gear) to second with agressive brakes , most newer marutis k series tappet shims will go for a toss whereas the G10 and G13 could do it all day long and the clutches didn't burn or gearboxes didnot bursted. Both Zen and Esteem engine, drivetrains were bomb proof. We have a Zen with G10B and it has hit revlimiter in first and second gear nearly everytime the car is fired up. At traffic light people turn with growl at high rpms. The engine is extremely vocal by default.
So true, I drove my esteem with a broken 2nd gear synchro for over 150000kms, it still didn't slip that particular gear, it was only when I repaired the GB that I realised what was wrong, still keeping my esteem which now stands at 2.65L kms, have the ownership since 2012 and I do not recall even a single breakdown, the odo has rolled to 0 twice, and the esteem still pulls like a beast, I have more faith on my esteem's reliability than any newer cars that I have.
Had the exact same model!! Just loved it. My favourite car always close to my heart!! Thanks for the memories!!! I still curse myself for selling this car!!!
The Maruti Suzuki Esteem was based on the Suzuki Cultus platform. The U.S. got the same car as the Suzuki Swift, and the Geo Metro. Canada got the versions also sold there as the Chevrolet Sprint and the Pontiac Firefly as well as the former US models. Australia got their version sold there as the Holden Barina. Europe got their version as the Subaru Justy.
This will be an amazing project car with a plug and play ecu modification. I would remove the rear seats for weight reduction, put some cool alloys and paint it matte black!🔥🔥
Even we had an Esteem Lxi. At that point of time Esteem also had an Axi the automatic transmission surprisingly. Try if you get hold of that car for a review.
I remember an even older advertisement: Where the family celebrated Dad's birthday in a white colour Esteem AX (Automatic). Remember? Fun car, until you drove 'The Josh Machine.' 😉
Still have 17 years old esteem (Nov 2003). And can't let her go... Like Ambuja Cement says iss cement mein jaan hai... When it comes to esteem I say iss engine mein jaan hai. Also there very little blind spot once you seat on the driver's seat.
I'm assuming and expecting that the next vlog is gonna be of the Grand Vitara! 😂😎. Just please review it, doesn't matter tomorrow or whenever. Even the SX4 if possible!
Older Maruti's are lot better when compared with the present ones now...Those MPFI engines had great punch ,fun to drive performance even better build quality current generation Maruti's are tin cans for sure unsafe...
This car reminds my childhood because this car is owned my My Grandfather I love this car one day....Now my Grandfather's Esteem is on Garbage 😢...Now Thank you so much Faisal sir for reviewing this car this reminds me my childhood!

How's the maintenance cost of esteem I am thinking to buy it??
10 years and 53k km thats so low maan
Faisal goes old school 🏫.. These are legendary cars ❤
Maruti Esteem 1.3 L G13 Motor was a gem. Older Maruti's had Best Drivability.

Even it's successor, the Dzire had both best engines K12B Petrol and DDIS190 diesel engine. Dzire too has the best Drivability 🔥🔥
well the later versions were not as fun !!

Yes K series is also phenomenal!
Yeah but the dzire had the yuckiest look ever. Esteem even now looks better than dzire

That's the Fact
I don't think because you compare your old fortuner to new one new is best but old had not such fun and not had a features
