Free flow exhaust systems are not necessarily only about sound, they also improve performance. There are companies like Automech in Mumbai that manufacture aftermarket systems. Depending on which city you are in, you can get in touch with a tuner / car modification company and get this fitted. It will cost upward of Rs. 15,000 for a simple…[Read more]

Of the three you have mentioned, the Nissan Sunny diesel is the most value for money. It is big on space, great on mileage and has a decent amount of features. The top-end Sunny diesel XV will be a little over Rs. 9 lakh on road. It has better power and torque specs than the Fiesta Classic diesel.

Not Verito – too basic, and unpopular. No resale value. Fiesta Classic diesel is a capable car, but again quite old. might be discontinued in a while, and then there might be a spares problem. So considering everything, Sunny diesel fits your needs I think.

Diesel in 7-9….. Sunny, Rapid or Linea. Sunny for space n ease of driving. Rapid is better built and significantly more powerful. And drives better too. But my personal favourite is the Linea. It has THE best build quality, THE best looks, THE best ground clearance and excellent driving dynamics. Linea 1.3 Emotion costs a little over 9 lakh and…[Read more]

The Nissan Sunny is a better choice as it is a good package overall. If you are planning to drive and lot then the Fiesta is a more driver oriented car.

A little too high priced. Uusually a 1,00,000 km Fiesta diesel should come for max 3.5 lakh.

A 3 year old Fiesta which has already done 1,00,000 kms has a lower market price as far as I know. The asking price is usually open to negotiations and if the car is in perfect condition then you can bargain and get the price down to at least Rs. 3.7 lakh. Again Rs.4 lakh is not a very bad price if the car is in great condition but once a car has…[Read more]

There is an element of risk in a second-hand diesel car. If the car has been well maintained from the beginning with full service history (and services performed on time), it should be just fine. Diesels require some care – like not over revving when starting up / shutting down – to extend the life of the turbo. If the previous owner has been a…[Read more]

Both EcoSport and Duster will only come at the end of the year. The Fiesta Classic is a very good car, and you will save some money compared to more expensive diesels such as the Rapid, Vento and Verna. Are you planning to buy the diesel SXi?

The Classic is an awesome car to drive, it is almost rewarding from the driver’s point of view. However if you can afford to wait till the end of the year, you should probably test drive the Ecosport and Duster before you decide.
