    Which is better: Nissan Sunny XV vs Maruti SX4 ZXi?

    When the Nissan Sunny was launched recently, it was expected to compete directly with the Toyota Etios and base Hyundai Verna, as well as give potential Maruti Dzire buyers another, slightly more expensive choice. But interestingly, with the top-end Nissan Sunny XV being priced at Rs. 7.68 lakh, it competes directly with the Maruti SX4 ZXi (priced at Rs. 7.75 lakh), which makes for a pretty intere

        Sunny looks fresh and elegant with non-aggressive and large complacent looks, the side profile looks very rich and elegant while the front has a subtle sophistication. The large wheel-base not only makes it stable, but also gives it good looks Sunny’s interior is grt n rear seat very comforatable n gud leg room.Both sunny n sx4 cars come very…[Read more]

        SX4 is zippy and faster than Nissan Sunny…
        SX4 rear seats are little heavenly…I should say comfortable atleast…
        Leg room, well, that might be a very small issue, spare component price will be a concern for any buyer.
        We tend to change cars in every 5-6 years span, then resale value will play a major role…

        The rear of nissan sucks. It iz ugly like dzire. Sx4 is still 100 times betr than sunny. Its a total value for money deal. No doubt in terms of engine refinement nd ol sunny might be offering smthng nw. The first look on any normal buyer goes on the exterior looks of the car.

        I feel sx4 is far more better than sunny in terms of everything. large service network, maruti peace of mind, low maintenance, high resale value, aggressive and sporty looks, easy ingress and outgress.
        sunny looks old school design is awkward styling.

    With Verna diesel waiting period climbing to 4 months, what are the best alternatives?

    With the petrol price hike yesterday, the demand for diesel cars is bound to increase. The Hyundai fluidic Verna diesel has the best-selling sedan for the last few months, with a waiting period of almost four months now. So if you want a diesel sedan, and cannot wait for this long, what are your options? CarToq spoke to dealers across the country to come up with alternati

        No other car in the segment can match verna in terms of features, power, comfort and looks. The ford fiesta and the vento diesel are practically very good cars, their maintenance is on the higher side. If you can shed down a few features, then Sx4 can be a good car as you get a SUV like stance, excellent ground clearance and ample passenger and…[Read more]

        NO NEED TO WAIT FOR VERNA GO AND BUY NEW GLOBAL FORD FIESTA THE MOST SELLING CAR IN EUROPE.
        IT HAD SAME FEATURRS THAT VERNA HAS AND MUCH MORE HANDELING CONTROL THEN VERNA. AND IT HAS CRUISE CONTROL ALSO FIRST IN THIS SEGMENT AND VOICE ACTIVATED CONTROLS THAT VERNA LAGS.

        I guess its not worth waiting so much for all these cars..rather if u can push your budget a lil bit probably u can afford a Toyota Corolla Diesel…Which has almost everything one can imagine…Or else the best option u can choose may be the Etios Diesel without any waiting….

        Roll on acceleration figures are poor for verna. The power delivery is very linear(its good actually).Coupled with the ultra light steering with no feedback.Engine is very good but the car gives up(read suspension) much before the engine does.

I don’t have any problems until 110 kmph beyond which the suspension is too soft. But how many people and how often do we extend ourselves beyond 120 kmph with indian road conditions.…[Read more]
