        Better to learn with an 2nd hand Alto Santro etc. Buy a second hand car which you can sell easily. Then after the driver gets the confidence they can buy any car they like.

        If the budget is minimal and the person is a learner, its best to pick the cheapest used Maruti or Hyundai. I would say the M800 will be the best option here, since you stand to lose very less money in buying and later selling it after an year or two.

        Pretty much that is a good price. But still try for a cut if you can… Online, I can see similar prices for i10.

        Where are you based out of? A bit overpriced by Delhi standards. Is that dealer authorized in some way? Why don’t you go to Authorized re sellers like Mahindra first choice. You get a good vehicle and years warranty and peace of mind too. I think you can get a similarly spec. car at around the same price. Check this http://www.mahindrafirstchoice.com

        Gurcharan, K&N air filters essentially increase the flow of air into your engine and help in better performance. They primary help you bump up power by 1 or 2 Bhps, however they have been known to increase mileage too. However, the fact that you have extra power may tempt you to drive in a more enthusiastic manner and the mileage doesn’t really…[Read more]

        Sometimes a very minor leakage causes a problem..Get your radiator rechecked. The cap of radiator also has a rubber inside, see if it is uncut. See if the fan is correctly spinning on exact time..when car heats up..

        No, you wont get it easily in any shop, but you can buy it online from amazon or ebay. Auto-sock is itself a cheap solution for snow covered roads. These actually do help improve traction on snow covered roads. Snow socks are itself a cheap alternative to the Snow Chains which are costlier and their installation is a tough task.

        Yeah… definitely it is re-usable,but since it is made up of fabric, its life is too short. And yes, it is mostly used in FWD cars but you can also use it on AWD cars. Its available in pairs.

        Not really. ComPaint promises to be a solution but the shade is not guaranteed to match with your car. Minor scratches can be dealt with by a rubbing exercise but for deep scratches you either ignore them or have the entire panel repainted. A mid way solution is that you take your car to the service station and ask them to touch up. They’l use the…[Read more]

        Wrote this for someone else too – Figo for the space (check with 4 large adults), service costs (check new buyers of both cars), usable features (bluetooth, rear split seat are just absent in the Swift), cheaper price tag, more driveable due to very less turbo lag. Swift for the stronger engine (more so with increasing speeds), better driving…[Read more]

Also both have simple interiors not much attractive. You can go for i-20 full of features,space and good looks. Also Hyundai reliability is good. Choice is yours. Go for…[Read more]
