hmm let fiat open their individual sale service centers . . . They ll make atleast 20 percent market. . . .

b/w the duo u must go with fiat linea multijet. A gr8 car. &if u r confuse regarding its A.S.S. U dont hv to visit it often coz its service due is approx. 15000km. So its gud to go with.

go for linea! its an awesome car with both interms of look, performance nd style…….:)don’t wait…just go for FIAT LINEA:)

close your eyes and and pick Fiat Linea Diesel….the best sedan in mid range…Looks Built engine handling…and features….u wont find any car better then this….sunny and Linea no compare men….pick Linea…

Go for linea mahn! Its an awsome italian beauty…n fabolous fiat’s italian technology!

ya correct………only linea..

Linea can be said the best looking car with the best engine. No wonder Most Indian counterparts use the same 1.3 Multijet diesel engine from FIAT.

y don’t u consider vento…chk out rapid too.

Better go for LINEA..great driving comfort.

beat car is Linea in terms of desighn, quality, features etc…..i wld like to suggest u Fiat Linea the superb car….sunny is also a good car with large boot space and its a spacious car but no way…. Linea is the best…….

Choice also vento gud car wth a best engine.

man…jus go for Linea..nothing is better thn this beast…well first…who has written thz article…boss…Linea is of 93bhp not 86…i bought this 4months bck..after testing Fludic, Fiesta, Vento…and decided to gor for.
linea cuz in terms of drivebility, Handling, Build nothing comes evn close to Fiat…frm vry first thud of closing doors…[Read more]

nice to see indian manufactures leading in these segments.

a well deserved feat by xuv…..hope it makes indian customers realize the gross over pricing of premier suvs..namely honda crv, toyota fortuner, chevrolet captiva, nissan x-trail.
these vehicles retail for 7-10lakh in overseas markets(middle east for ex) and for 20-25lakhs in india…
we need more xuv’s and aria’s….

TATA sld price the Aria btwn 8-12 lks. so dat it can beat Innova, xylo, xuv500 and others. Aria is too expensive vehicle…Xuv500 is doing well I hope is Mahindra improves there A.S.S den surely Mahindra all vehicles sales will grow.

amazing……..XUV500 is a good vehicle…….but former market leader in this segment coming back soon in 2012…..The Honda CRV with the all new looks and with desiel idtec engine…….I am sure it rocks the market again…….after all its honda…

Looks really Nice!

ITs d most deserving candidate…. and it was expected of this

bookings were closed aftr 10 days of launch.. yet to be started again and yet to be launched pan india

ts a no nonsense car.People now-a-days think its better to invest less and get more features which the XUV has,so definitely other cars would make a difference

Eager to buy…………

as expected

at 25-30lakhs…??? i hardly tink so…..

Sanju Vivek yeah…. but the CRV has an own image in the indian market ……

yeah…. you are right sanju but the CRV has an own image in the indian market ……

Hey guys here an interesting fact. You may also know it. The vehicle’s name is not XUV500 its XUV 5oh oh. Source Overdrive Nov 2011. And this vehicle is the talk of the country and know wonder its leading the sales chart.

I think it will erode the markets of all SUVs, being a winner both in price and features.

how can u compare d aggressiveness n xuv with ariaz dim lukz?

NICE CAR BIG MOM LIKE.

amazed to c fortuner in the list! I thot innova was higher than fortuner…. the only disadvantage in fortuner is mileage 7 its horrible.

what is better is the mileage that comes along with the beast….

Roshun Povaiah thanks a ton for the info sir….

looks like a civilized Beast….awesome.

No, Wagon R is one of the largest selling cars in India, Eon doesn’t stand anywhere with Wagon R.

WagonR has being doing well & s known for its performance, but Eon s surely going to hit Also sales…

eon is not competitor against Wagon R is the best car in its segment.

first of all, eon being a 800cc car is compared with the wagonr who comes with the 1000cc engine…i don’t knw who is such a stupid or may be foolish enough to compare the cars just bcoz there prices matches..its quite obvio that a larger cc engine will come with more power…it’s understandable..it’s common-sense…

Its not about the engine. capacity. The cars are being compared as they fall under the same price range. There is no sign of stupidity here and DWS auto is definitely doing a good job.

WagonR is the best car in the segment.

Ajay Srinivas Raghavan bro..you didn’t read my comment carefully..the point you hve put on i hve mentioned it….so forst read it carefully..and regarding tdws job,they hve done several bad comparos that wen you will get to knw abt it,you will also agree to me..

Sonu Nagpal I read your comment bro. Its like when a person enters a market to buy a car, he will compare all possible cars in the price range. And more over the verdict given towards WAGONR is absolutely right. Though EON comes with a smaller engine, the mileage is more than wagonR and offers a few other features which may attract a few buyers.…[Read more]

Nah! I won’t buy this in place of wagonR, which has oodles pf space.

Only for Value conscious and not for anything else,not the features,not the performance

Ajay Srinivas Raghavan if that so ajay,then read the other comments..u will get to knw abt wat i am actualy sayin…

dear eon is newly born baby ,dont compare eon with dadaji

This is not fair to compare Eon with Wagorn-R. coz WagonR proved itself in the long durability factor.and not to forget this is the best selling car in this segment. Also, WagonR is the practical car.Eon in the other hand nice in itz interiors and fluidic design..but when engine comes to play WagonR got bigger engine, more space and…[Read more]

I dnt understand wats realy hapng here DWS auto india…..i must say 1 thg that dey will surely copare magna with nissan micra, polo, swift and many more…..jus 800 cc and big publicity….jus goin out of my head…shuld I lauf or cry…..lol.

Comparing Eon 800 with 1000cc wagon r is wrong thing weel u can compare Santro with Wagon r……still I think compare to wagon R Eon is a gr8 car with gr9 looks and with many features and in sportz Airbag is there u hv not mentioned anywhere..bootspace of new wagon r is very small…..and I dnt like the desighn of new or old wagon r worst dedighn…[Read more]

wagonR Lxi doesn’t have in built audio player, and a driver side air bag doesnot posses body color ORVMs and body colour door handles, dual tone interiors , Which are there in eon sports. which u have not mentioned..seems like AN INTENTIONAL OMMISSION to promote wagonR…ahh?

Ajay Srinivas Raghavan, i do agree with u.. A person who is going to buy a new car vil definetly compare the cars in same price range

Mr.Sonu, how many persons in india vil go for a buy thinking that he/she should by only a 1000cc car or a 1200cc car??
and, how many person in india vil go for a buy keeping his/her budget in mind.. if u honestly ans this question u wil also agree that this is one of good comparision frm dws.

Dude grow up. Since since santro was launched, there is no significant difference in the dash board and interiors. But the new wagonr gives overall a better space for the passengers and the seats are very very comfortable. The new wagon r comes with features like integrated audio systems, i cats security, abs dual srs airbags,power mirrors,key…[Read more]

Ajay Srinivas Raghavan hey bro i agree with u Hyundai sld facelif the snatro with new engine and new exterors and interiors and with new features like integrated stereo with am/fm/cd mp3 playermaux and usb with 4 spks,rear power windows,new dashboard,alloy wheels,rear wiper/wash and defogger,electrival adjustable mirrors,and option of 2 airbags…[Read more]

Alto K10 hands down except the styling part!

I don’t knw y u r comprg alto k10 with neon…..alto come under 1liter segment and neon under 800 cc…

I prefer K10 then Eon in term of after sale service & go for Eon in style wise.

You are comparing alto k10′s top end varriant with magna.. :O and at the same time you are quoting the price of its lowest version.. *biased review*

the comparison is based on the price Alto K10 VXi is priced at Rs. 3.17 (non-metallic) while the Eon Magna is priced at Rs. 3.36 lakh. I completely deny its a biased review for we have clearly given the verdict highlighting the USP of each car ” Overall, the Alto K10 offers more with regard to performance while the Eon Magna which costs Rs.…[Read more]

Absolutely right. But when cars are closely priced, the buyer will consider all the cars in the same price range.

Alto K10 is no comparison with Eon. Also the elegant high class sedan like style of K10 is amazing. I do not like to drive car look like a toy. My K10 is now 1 year old. I drive it in Hyderabad traffic like a bike and also overtake always the real bikes too.

I still go to Alto K10 for It’s K-Series Engine. Hyundai cars are expensive to maintain.

common the power to weight ratio of k10 is comparable to swift petrol nd u comparing it with eon…nothing in market can match k series engines refinement.. only cons is shorter gear ratio nd soft shockers of k10..everything else too gud.

Trusted, proven ALTO k 10 with a mightier engine and maruti’s confidence is better any day.

this is the alto killer.

friend ended up paying 3.69 lacs for alto k10 in bangalore six montha ago.

Aravind Anbu but still i dont c any relevance on dis…..it shuld be compare with alto 800cc only…..apart from pricing, hyundai 1st said dey ll launch magna at 2.36 and it was fixed and dont knw abt the sudden changes although magna is apealing but still it z new in the 800 cc segment and nt sure abt its performance as compared to alto 800cc.

that is the on road price.but now beacuse of discounts it has come down to 3.4 lakhs on road.but eon with power steering and p windows is 40k costlier on road as hyundai is not providing discounts for say next few months.

Hyundai Eon is the clear winner compare to any Alto 800 or Alto k10…….Eon looks better , interiors r better , mileage is gr8 , boot space is more , features are more and finaly legroom, headroom.shoulder room is more and getting in and out is better den alto……..id u r looking for a betetr car den Alto 800, Alto k10, spark, astar go for…[Read more]

Any idea on when an automatic version will be made available?

?@Nakul – You are right dude….VW ppl are not fools to give out a 3 cyl when others give out 4 cyl…..

@ parag . . . Bro u r driving a vw polo and its 1 of the bestest in its segment. . . Same with fabia also using a 3 cyl engine. . . Vw r concentrating on performance nt on pwr nd mileage. . . They hv launched 1.6 petrol fr pwr lving prsns . . .so u be calm nd drive ur polo . . Bcs its a solid build. . . . .

on driving both r good…..but the problem persist for me , should I go for polo petrol or swift petrol?

v12 engine is best.

prefer 3 cylinder coz……..for 3 cylindr produce same outpt powr as 4 cylinder do……bt d diff is tat….d 4 cylinder cn do it at lower RPM…..weraz 3 cylindr cannt……but wen cmpared to 4 cylinder….one wid 3cylinder is more fuel efficient……..

polo is simply suprb coz…its german engineerin….made for india…..!!!

Gentlemen please do read the topic of debate.

I own a WagonR for the past 6 years. And one of my relatives bought the new K series WagonR last year. I can find my car(4 cylinder) extremely smooth at all engine RPMs while the almost new car has high engine noise. Engine screams once it crosses 3K rpm and the sound of the engine is not as healthy as my car’s engine. I have not tried out POLO…[Read more]

4 cylinder engines need a heavier flywheel to compensate for the bigger crankshaft. heavier the flywheel, smoother the engine though it a;so means it will rev a bit slower and a bit less.

one strong benefit of 3 cyl. over same capacity 4 cyl engine is that pistons and cylinders are 25% more stronger. Increase the numbers of cylinders and engine noise gets smoother, that’s why high end luxury cars have more numbers of cylinders like 6, 8, 12 etc. notice how the Tata Nano engine sounds, like a scooter because its 2 cyl. I have a 3…[Read more]

Just test drive both cars back to back same day and judge yourself, everyone has different taste. Huge majority likes Swift diesel whether I preferred Polo diesel because its of my liking. Only engine is not a car, there are various other aspects also equally valuable. Swift is well known for last 6 years but POLO’s strong point is its mature…[Read more]

4 cylinder engine is smooth.3 cylinder is economical.

Guys….bt as we knw in india the fuel efficiency comes alwz first den ant othr topics of power. Here 3 cylinders cars r really gud gng coz fuel efficiency. 4 cylinders hav power at low rpm’s bt here we hav a very less space to show car power. Dats why 3 cylinders r winng battle frm pretty long time.

I think it depends on the configuration of the car well having a three cylinder car gives good mileage at low rpm but, it needs to be revved harder at higher speeds also the gear ratios in three cylinder cars like the alto is apt for city conditions but driving on highways is a bit sluggish! however it is the opposite in four cylinder cars which…[Read more]

what the mileage difference we can expect in a 3 cylinder to a 4 cylinder.

are you planning to buy new car? Which are in your mind? I can only say that an engine is not only the car, there are many other aspects.

6 cylinder

Pankaj Purohit .Yes iam looking for a new car. i am bit confused whether to go with Hyundai EON( 3 cylinder) or spark( 4 cylinder). i cant cross the budget of more than approx, 4lakhs. and obviously mileage matters much in these days..

Sreeram Cr – I think both are good car, EON is relatively new and there is no side effect of 3 cyl as people keep crying about that, even AC of EON is best in the class and the most chiller where as Spark looks pretty sleek but its known as well built most robust car in this segment, just select by your preference, what you would like to prefer…[Read more]

I always follow these rules.. and the result is that I can get mileage upto 21KM/Ltr of Petrol some times…..on my HONDA CITY i-VTEC…..

I will try and follow as much as I can thanks dws auto for this.

Thanks! I’m going to follow this & see how much my Fiesta gives me!

Hrishi Acharya : I totally agree with you..

Sirji, mistake se space aagya CARPOOL !!!

I follow most of this, and I get around 18-20 for my ritz diesil in city..

yes good one!

Gud tips
so bye using this I can reduce my car petrol bill.
g8 yaar
i will follow ji heeeeeee.

Switch off the AC button when the car is cool enough. This applies to cars without climate control. If the car is equipped with automatic climate control, set the car to optimum temperatures to prevent the compressor from running for a long time

Amruth Ganesh LOL Even the ARAI certified mileage is lesser than that

what’s the meaning of carpool?

Akash Shetty go google it

Smartly use the AC means we should avoid keeping AC ON on signals,you can also keep AC power at min here… lower rpm lower AC…at higher rpm it doesn’t matter

thanks DWS for nice tips.

Even Better, Keep the Damn Rickshaws off the road, No congestion, No road rage, No frustrated Drivers, No Bottle necks, even the BEST drivers are very calm and better fuel average, I realised our problem really is Very High percentage of Idiots on the Street, and not an inadequate road infrastructure.

I try to switch off engine when stopping at a light or when not in use for more than 1 min. I try to avoid minimum use of AC. This can also help in saving some amount of fuel.

gud thinking g.

a fuel and money consuming honda is a myth!!! my city needs a servicing after 10000 kms and it cost less than my santro!!! and its a fact!!

same experience here…

My Honda City 2010 is more efficient than my Hyundai I10 (1.2 kappa) 2009…

From i10 i can get max. 17 km/ltr (with WIDER TYRE set)..

Its all depends upon the Engine’s Power to Weight Ratio, Tyres, Gear ratio, Aerodynamics, Suspensions etc. etc.

@Abhi Jeet,@Amruth Ganesh,@Ajay Srinivas Raghavan…

Did YOU ever have a chance to drive HONDA CITY i-vetec (NEW model)??

Dont confuse between Honda CITY and Honda CIVIC…

Best useful Tips.

I too get 17.5 kmpl sometimes from my honda city iv tec.

drivin at de speed of 40-50 wil give u gr8 milage…

Alto k10 owners are still, least worried..!!!

Hey… for bike owners… use better engine oils… timely change the oils and use high performance oils… they improve performance and better accelaration…. Maitain an optimum speed always while riding, for eg: for FZ or Fazer, you get 40+ only if u control and ride at speeds of 45 and 50…. 60 and above dips the efficiency….

And better, dont use performance kits and filters… they can drink the petrol sometimes that when you sometimes hit above 90 or above, the efficiency might be way below 20 sometimes…

24.6 kmpl on verna crdi 1.6- highway

29.3 kmpl on highway for my new Dzire VDi & 25.7 kmpl in city driving… following all the tips for fuel efficiency. Never drive above 80kmph.

Could u give me an idea about fuel injector cleaners. How to use them and their price?. Thanks in advance.

Why Hyundai is not introducing diesel engines with good mileage in Santro, I 10. both cars are succesfull in india but if theses cars gets diesel eng option with good mileage den surely these cars will best other diesel cars like Beat, indica Ev2, fogo, ritz.

the diesel variants comes wid a 1.o lt. engine… not 1.2 idiots!

NICEY…

Beat diesel is a 1.0 litre engined car where as the Ritz is a 1.3 and Ford Figo is 1.4 litre. Ritz outputs 75PS of peak power. And where comes the comparison between Ritz and BEAT? Ritz and figo are worth the price as they have better engines and offer better space and comfort.

Subhjyoti Chakraborty,Diesels are fuel efficient than petrols.Well you can afford for the Beat Diesel as it is best suited for cities,else Indica eV2 is also a good option for middle income group.
