        a sporty hatchback….n more advanced then the Alto in mileage n engine performance. more over the design of the car gives it a sporty look n price is also similar to that of Alto. so I think its definitely going to make it in the market.

        Misleading article. The picture is that of Alto K10 and the comparison is done with Alto Std. The Alto K10 comes with 68 bhp K-Series engine, which is silk smooth, for a 3 pot motor. The power to weight ratio of K10 is almost that of SX4. It drives very smooth and looks good too. Not sure if EON can cause any dent in that segment. Pricing a new…[Read more]

        Every thing be same or better than Alto K10 in Eon, but it can not beat it in mileage…i just bought a new Alto K10 and on my trip of 650 km it gave me a mileage of around 25 although I used AC for almost 200 km…so I feel mileage is where Alto k10 beats Eon…n also K10 give a feel of maruti Zen and which I almost will buy if they ever lauch it…

        well for one thing, hope the engine doesnot get faulty like the ” irde ” 1st ones in i10. secondly on the bright side, it’s got to be more safer than the touch and smash alto proportions, impressive looks and mileage figures. waitin eagerly :)

        Eon low end model starts with 2.69 L ( ex -show room price + no AC + no Power windows + no music system + no central locking) + approx. 40 K for RTO and insurance.. The just next version with Ac is priced at 2.91 L ( ex-showroom).

        On the positive side, Eon has the most beautiful sleek design and interiors. Something Alto lacks completely. When I compare the looks of Eon and Alto, an Alto seems to me like a packaging box.
        rather than a ‘CaR’.

    New Honda Jazz vs 2011 Maruti Swift: Maruti still ahead

    The two Japanese carmakers share one thing in common – they both make great cars to drive. And with the price reduction on the Honda Jazz with the new face-lifted version, it is now well within reach of Maruti Swift buyers

        Tough call… Jazz for over all comfort and space, substantially bigger (170 litres more) boot. Swift for the better driving experience, torquey engine, features, now electric operated mirrors too… Depends on what the customer wants from the car.

        performance of both the cars is similar jazz gives a intenational look and no doubt boot space is very important or long journeys, spending so much amount and not getting a big boot space on swift. jazz is overall a super car in this segment.

        I would always prefer a Honda over Maruti. After all, a 1akh here and thr shouldn’t matter for the premium segment Car, I hope. Swifts r found in every nook and corner, while the Jazz being a premium Car and Honda being a brand which even the Maruti owner would want to upgrade 1 day. I would alwayz go in for a Honda or a Toyota over MAruti..

        For the non-performance oriented person, the Jazz is definitely a better car because its interiors and seating are much better designed than the Swift. For somebody looking at performance, the Swift is better (more torque at lesser RPM, too).
