    I'm a little confused. My budget is Rs. 6 lakh and I have booked Swift but now as new model has been launched the price has increased by about Rs. 70, 000. What should I do? Should I cancel and get some other model or pay the additional amount and get a Swift?

    Maruti Swift

        Performance will be below par.AFAIK my friend who owns an Wagon R LXI duo tells that the mileage in city is around 10-12kmpl and is not a rev-happy one.

        Dealer fitted CNG is as good as the company fitted kit. However i think the company fitted Wagon R CNG comes with a specially made suspension setup to reduce bounce and other parts like spark plugs, valves etc too are modified to suit CNG better.If your dealer promises all these changes as well, then its better to go for the VXI if the dealer is…[Read more]

        New bookings for the XUV should ideally reopen next month. M&M had 4-months of deliveries to roll out and now they should be taking fresh bookings from end December. Also, the XUV still hasn’t been launched all-India. There might be a price increase on the XUV as well from Jan.

        Verna/Vento are better options as they have quality + Brand image+ class = good resale value.
        Fiat/Tata have no big brand value/ cheap fit n finish/ no class = Null resale value.
