        Very soon Petrol’s price gonna touch the Rs.80/ltr mark & if Diesel’s price still remains at Rs.40/ltr at that time then this claim will be more justified. And if it materialises then very soon we are gonna see scores & scores of Diesel hatches, sedans & SUVs instead of the Bikes thereby resulting in Excessive Traffic Jams & Pollution!!

        Agreed that abject running costs might be lower for certain diesel cars, but if you factor in sticker price, maintenance etc, the car is always more expensive. I am curious about the Nano diesel. With a sticker price of, say, 1.5 lakh for the base version, we will have a 28 kpl of diesel Nano versus an RE Classic 500 costing around the same with…[Read more]

    Which is better: The new Maruti Swift or Hyundai i20?

    The new Maruti Swift is a bigger and improved version of the older Swift. It is even more sprightly than before. The Swift was the largest-selling premium hatchback earlier. How does the new Swift stack up against its old rival: the Hyundai i20

        If swift is priced nearer than i20 it will be difficult to sell because the features are less in swift when compared to i20

        I will go for Hyundai I 20 the real valur for money cr compare to Swift……….and ithink Hyundai sld noe give more powerfull engine in I 20 like 1.2 with 90-100bhp or 1.3 with 90-100bhp…….with gr8 mileage and low maintanace..and als handking sld be improved. still compare to any new or old swift my choice is I 20.

        Top 7 Reason why do anyone need to select SWIFT.
        1. Engine power of Swift is 7% higher than the Hyundai I20.
        2. Swift Petrol Torque delivery is more flatter than the Hyundai I20 makes swift is the more efficient car in the CITY Driving.

        Before the Zazz price cut, buyers were leaning towards Honda City itself because of marginal price difference, now when the huge price cut introduced, buyers loose faith in the brand and worry about future resale values.

    Beat diesel vs Indica eV2: GM has the upper hand

    The Tata Indica has been around for a long time and is very popular in the commercial segment because of its good fuel economy and running costs. Now, the Beat diesel, which ha been launched at a starting price of Rs. 4.29 lakh,  also promises to give great fuel economy and low running cost. Can it beat the Indica eV2?

        Indica is good for 5 ppl and practicality but A.S.S is poor even it has larger serivce network when compared to beat.Beat is a Quality product which has longer life span.I dont think the CR4 in Indica made a good backup whereas Beat’s MJD is known by everyone,so the Final Conclusion is Beat for Individuals and Indica for Commercial purposes.

        Beat is stylish loaded with gud features but less power n its a small car,mostly youngsters will like but indica is not that stylish but this car has a powerful 4 cylinder engine with gud mileage vvvvvvvery spacious compare to beat…I think indica is a winner….there is no pt in comparing the two….
