        Sunny or Scala would be a better choice as thet have more legroom for the back seats.

        Agree, Sunny or Scala for back-seat comfort and a mid-sized sedan priced well for the features and comfort. Otherwise the Verito and Dzire are good options.

        Sunny or Scala make for good chauffeur driven cars. I would personally prefer the Manza over the Verito as it feels a lot plusher on the inside and has more equipment too. I would rate its back seat to be overall better as well. Not the Dzire, it is cramped at the back, especially when compared with the other cars listed here.

        Ah yes, I almost forgot the Manza and completely forgot the cramped rear seats of the Dzire. The Manza is an excellent option, I have traveled in the rear seat of the Manza and it is comfortable and plush however, looks are a let down for some.

        MANZA is totally value for money specially in the new club class avatar, the rear seats are the most comfortable even if you compare it with cars 3 times as expensive, the diesel is the preferred engine choice but the petrol is not too bad either.

        considering what safari offered previously its definitely much awaited launch which should have been introduced way back before , yes its the same engine as before but much more drivable now , with all new chassis acquired from aria , good quality interiors and a more powerful 2.2 ltr engine so yes you can definitely make your decision in its favour.

        @Naman, Though reliability is something which can be tested only after prolonged usage, going by the amount of technical effort Tata have put in the Storme, I feel it should be a reliable vehicle. Also, Tata have given it a standard warranty of 3 years or 100,000kms extendable to one more year/50,000 kms. This speaks for the confidence they have…[Read more]

    One General Question. Is it always right to follow the tire pressure car manufacturer advice? Because I see the tire pressure is always maintained at the higher side in all maruti cars soon after delivery. The first time you fill in air it is usually not filling but reducing. Why is that?

        well i haven’t noticed such difference of higher pressure at the time of delivery, as for your question it is advised to inflate tyres with recommended pressure as lowering the pressure will reduce the mileage and too high will bring stability concerns , however it is advised to hike a 2psi pressure for all tyres above recommended pressure if you…[Read more]

        Just keep it at the recommended pressure and you will be fine. Don’t go above or below, unless for specific reasons (higher for load carrying, fuel economy, lower for more comfort, better grip). In any case don’t deviate more than 2psi either way.

    It is raining in Chennai Cats and Dogs. And I am more or less driving my Ertiga in the rains. The Wiper makes noise when wiping. I mean the rubber touching the glass noise every time it wipes. Shouldn't it be a silent wiping? How to make it silent? I think there is friction between the glass and the wiper.

        sabha do you use a glass cleaner, if yes mention it as some detergents effect glass and removes smoothness , secondly if not than closely inspect wiper blades and look for any un evenness of the rubbers if even it is good than visit service center and complain and see what they have to say on replacing wiper blades .

        Ah, that’s a probable cause for the noise. Shampoo the windscreen only nicely (or use Colin on the glass only) and also with a wet cloth and soap solution, clean the wiper blades, the noise will go away. Nothing to be worried about :-)

        How much will you drive? If not over 1000 km a month, a petrol car would suit you. Since it’s your first car – I would go with one that has low maintenance cost – and here is where Maruti cars have an advantage.

        among your choice of reliability and mileage nothing beats maruti cars till date , so narrowing down your list you are left with wagaon R and ritz vxi , my choice will be a wagon R vxi its an excellent package and serves your purpose of city driving extremely well, so go for wagon R .

        Between the Ritz and the WagonR, I’d say go with the WagonR. It’s an easier car to drive for a beginner, and yes, I agree with you the Ritz had really wierd looks. Go with the top end WagonR rather than a mid variant of Ritz.

        indigo manza offers very good rear leg room and bootspace (prime reason to shift to a sedan) , on the other hand dzire has less legroom and bootspace but nothing beats the quality interiors , performance and a good car to drive , so if space manza for performance dzire.
