    Cheapest diesel small cars in India: Which one is for you?

    (Updated February 2013) Last update on: 04/06/2012 In the 2012 Union budget, the government has not levied any extra taxes on diesel cars specifically. However, the government has increased the excise duty of cars across all the segments. Among small cars, the excise duty has been hiked from 10% to 12%. For diesel small cars, this has resulted in a price hike in the rang

        For an individual who drives more than 50 kms a day beat will do.For an individual who likes driving and is in the city Figo is better.For a person who wants to ferry 5 ppl Ritz is good for its rear seat comfort when compared to the rivals only.Finally Indica which is for cab/Taxi purposes who wants his running cost low and cannot afford anything…[Read more]

        ARAI certified mileage for Tata Indica eV2 L is 25kmpl and not 19 kmpl as given in technical specification. Readers please note that :)

        The facts given above are not correct. The “Claimed Mileage” for Indica eV2 is 25KMPL & when tata motors says this they mean it…. not only this the mileage is not mentioned in the entire article write up… seems author is biased wid General Motors…

        Beat is over priced according to Rits, Figo and Indica. Indica’s base variant is non-a/c and its interior is also poor.
        Now we have Rits and Figo. Figo is best in space and in a/c cooling but its maintenance is little higher than others.Our last option is Rits.
        Friends if you want value for money car , you must go with Rits because it has front…[Read more]

        I find Beat lathargic & wobbly at higher speeds. All tata cars become Tin Cans after a couple of years’ use. So Figo & Ritz are better options.
        With Figo giving a class look & ‘Ford’s’ tag while Ritz with its Fiat multijet engine, has the best powerhouse & ASS of Maruti, hands down!
        Only negative point for Ritz is the design! If one can overlook…[Read more]

        I have been a Tata customer for last 10 years. There is huge issue on their spare parts and the car quality. The maintenance is far higher and reliability is poor, no mention of customer service which is pathetic. It is basically a taxi segment and they treat it same.
