        if you are single and won’t travel a lot with many people on board, go ahead with the Brio, I feel you are already in love with its design :D , no one regrets buying a Honda dude :)

        I heard i20 petrol has a milege of 8-10 km/litre…which would bcum heavy on pocket if u drive more than 1000kms a month…go 4 the polo….great looks, comfort plus volkswagen has a good sales and service.BRIO is like the new version of the old maruti 800 with added features….but a fantastic car..u can close your eyes and bet on honda…cheers.

        Go for i20 dude, its premium in all areas even magna has all the features u wanted in a hatchback. i20 For – Space, comfort, features. I am not very sure if i20 gives 8-10 in city, as per my knowledge it gives 13kmpl. If u can reconsider ur options check JAZZ which is awesome VFM (after price cut).

        My son is using Polo highline for the past 19 months with no problems at all. We have done the yearly maintenance for RS 3,500. Only problem is limited access to service centers. We bought the Polo in Kerala and using in Pondicherry. To do the maintenance we have to take it to Chennai where the nearest service center available. It is an…[Read more]

        Looks like people now a days are looking not only for diesels but “diet diesels”! Well would just like to share my experience about the above mentioned cars.
        Swift: Sub standard quality in terms of built as compared to the competition. Not really a pleasure to drive in the local Mumbai bumper to bumper traffic as the turbo only spools after the…[Read more]

        Arun Balakrishnan Just because a car sells like hot cakes doesn’t mean that its a VFM proposition! All of us know very well the kind of built quality that swift offers! And You are certainly mistaken if you say that swift is a VFM! For 6.2L on road vdi you don’t even get a music system set aside stuff like alloys, ABS/EBD and airbags! C’mon! we…[Read more]

        Madhupam Bansal u r a clever person..meddling around with facts….I never said figo is not a VFM…FIGO is a VFM .. that is why it is selling consstenly around 7000 vehicles per month…and note one more thing… u have selected ( i dont know which version of swift and figo u compared) and simply brought out an extra feature of figo which is a…[Read more]

        Arun Balakrishnan: Sadly, looks like you’ve fallen a prey to what’s written on papers!
        Micra is a differnt league! Character: Swift:Sporty::Micra:Subtle.
        But look at the parameters..we’re looking at city driving conditions that too in a place like Mumbai (Read Congested traffic and overtly broken roads)! Where do you think you can put that extra…[Read more]

        as far as maintenance is concerned polo costs a bit high as compared to swift, bt polo is a brand to drive, d reason being that swift is soo common these days, while polo still makes u feel proud to drive….. bt if u want to compare only micra n swift, den go 4 swift……

        BOTH OR JAPS BUT MICRAS TURNING RADIUS IS VERY GOOD WHEN COMPARED TO SWIFT EVEN GOOD PERFOR MANCE BUT WHEN IT COMES TO LOOK SWIFT TOPS AND SOUND OF MICRAS ENGIN IS SLIGHTLY NOISY THAN SWIFT IN SOME 15-20 DECIBELS SO BABY SWIFT ROCKS.
