        thank you very much also u missed out 1 think..i think.. i.e. do not park u car and get out on the road as u might get in way of the other cars. and also do not park your car on slope which has grass on it, your car might get sweep away..actually this happened when I had gone to a hill station..

        all cars on the same route should follow in trail to one another keeping a safe distance inbetween……… this takes the pressure off for the drivers following…… and the trail is easier to spot for the other traffic as well….

    Nissan Micra XE Plus or Hyundai i10 Magna 1.1? My budget is around Rs. 4.5 lakh. As there are discounts offered in November, I want to take a quick decision. If you have any other alternatives do tell me. It's my first car. Please help me.

        Micra is a more sophisticated car, and you get a bit more space. Isn’t XE plus the top end petrol variant?

        For first timers its always better to go for Maruti Brands,try WagonR its very good and VFM when compared to i10 and Micra.Micra is a dud and i10 is less fuel efficient than WagonR and A.S.S is very expensive of Hyundai

You can also consider the Magna 1.2 it is wihtin your budget as well and is slightly more powerful. Take a look at other options as well, like the Ritz, Wagon R etc. Choose based your taste as these are all good vehicles….only with the Micra…[Read more]

        Being your first car, I would say go with the Hyundai i10. It’s a more popular brand, easy to maintain and you’ll get better access to service stations. Micra is a good car, but Nissan’s service network is still being expanded. Check for end-of-year deals on both, as carmakers usually want to flog off their stock in December, because most buyers…[Read more]

        No there is nothing wrong with both the engines the 1.1 and 1.2 is the capacity of the engine where 1.2 performs well and has great pickup when compared to 1.1 but the fuel efficient ones will be 1.1

        You can also consider the Chevrolet Beat… It got better looks than i10 or Micra, interiors are also very nice and plus diesel version is also not very pricey… overall a good buy..
