Clutch replacement depends on the usage, if the user does not use half clutch or clutch slippage a lot then it will last more. On the other hand, someone with the habit of always using the half clutch or using clutch slippage for revving the engine while in gear will burn the clutch faster. That said, the expense will depend on the vehicle and…[Read more]

I would ask you to consider the Polo GT Tsi, its a notch above in almost everything than the options mentioned by you, including the price which may be just in your budget. Regards.

Swift VDi for better interior space and comfort..features and price..
Polo comfortline for better boot space, looks….

The Swift L and V models get a ‘do not buy’ rating from me for their unacceptably weak brakes.

Hyundai Verna is loaded with Features.. it has good mix of cabin space, boot space and good comfort for 4…
Hyundai has excellent After-Sales-Service and resale value and maintenance is also good…
Though it doesn’t have the best suspension and handling is a curse when speeding on highways…
Rapid is a drivers’ car..it has good driving…[Read more]

In my opinion, it depends on what you need out of the car. Shenoy has put out the pros and cons of both in brief. So if you want a feature loaded car for the sedate driver, its the Verna but if you are not willing to sacrifice on the driving dynamics and the stronger body shell then you would be better off with the Rapid. There is no car which…[Read more]

There is a difference of a good 90k. What does the i20 offer for that extra money? Not much. I will suggest that you go for the LS model of the Sail UVA, which is better VFM than the bare bones PS. It will still undercut the i20 Era.

I am an i20 lover..but in ur case..the Sail U-Va makes more sense..
As the Era model doesn’t offer good features at a high price

I use and recommend Osram. Philips NIghtbreakers have always got good reviews. Such bulbs are available at accessory shops as well as battery stores. Note that such installations will compromise the warranty.

Safety should always come first..
Swift has faulty brakes in its lower models creating problem while braking at high speeds…
The top end variants of cars should always be preferred because they have safety features such as ABS + EBD and Airbags….
These are the features which come into play and decide between life and other risks as said by…[Read more]

The Swift has woefully weak brakes and is badly undertired. All current and prospective owners should know this. You need to understand how the tire works. 99% hatchbacks use S or T rated tires, which are safe for upto 180kph max under std test conditions. Which means during actual driving, anything more than 140kmph in stock tires borders on…[Read more]

Hi, just adding some things here. I have survived such a situation, kindly do not ask the speed. Here is the post – http://www.teamfiat.co.in/street-travel-experience/9059-fiat%92s-exceptional-car-service-rsa.html There is a video link in the post, do take a look at it for some understanding of what happens and what to ideally do in such a…[Read more]

They do not lose shape drastically even on losing pressure drastically. The prime difference is an extremely stiff sidewall which doesn’t give way on loss on pressure. Regards.

You can run them for about 80km at speeds upto 80kmph even after getting a puncture. On the flip side, they are quite expensive at over 25k a tire and the stiff sidewall kills the ride quality. Also, they result in a lot more road noise.

I completely agree with @Dave Jose..
He has given the perfect advantages of both the cars..
Though Ritz would be a better choice

I will suggest the Ritz over the Figo petrol
