its amazing people still buying petrol…..just wanna say hathi kharid to lenge par paalege kaise??

go for diesel it wont recover in 3 yrs bt may b in 5 yrs but nobody knows petrol may b 100/lit after few months…..of if u can adjust with cng then its another option.

go for ritz diesel..have good mileage n good performance

Out of these swift is the leader but my pick out of this is punto. Its a great handler and a head turner on road for sure with adequate power and features…

vikas i think diesel car is 1 lac higher priced, i can use that money to drive petrol atleast for 3 years as my daily running is not much, correct me if i am wrong. please help me choosing car considering all aspects.

Well you say you wont drive your car more than 50kms a day and your budget is well given.At 5.5 lakhs on-road you will get I10 sports model,and the petrol engine is refined as well.The maintenance is a bit higher than that of maruti but its manageable.Else if you need a great petrol motor will aggressive looks then have a look the Brio which is…[Read more]

Go for diesel….

u can buy nissan sunny

?@vishwas i’ll definatly think on brio, thanks for info. @upendra well lower model showroom price is 5.80, it wont fit in my budget for on road price.

i’ll go for diesel its better to give money once n njoy. giving 500-1000 everyday or in 2 days is painful . now adays diesel technology is competing petrol no doubt .cars like bmw n skoda cums in diesel no 1 can say diesel have low pick up or sumthng…….i’ll alwys go fr diesel

as per ur requirement i think u shud go for SWIFT. as its looks good, the engine is also frugal, has low maintenance cost its A.S.S. is also good. Also look for i20.only its draw back is its less frugal.but a safe &sturdy car.

?@vikas well can you give me some diesel cars which fits in my budget

@yogesh ty mate.

Indica eV2 top model? what about this car?

first think of buying some petrol .. then we can think of buying a car

There’s nothing worng in going for Indica eV2 if you are not concerned of its’TAXI’ where many of them consider as one.Well why do taxi market owns this car? because its fuel efficient and VFM.So the features are good in the LX trim,but the rear power windows are missing.But you get a good music system with alloy wheels and the seats are very…[Read more]

thanks vishwas, keeping eV2 as an optional.. what all other diesel cars will fit in my budget Indigo eCS/CS?

?Kumar Bhawar …. maruti alto le le …

ya fir Tata Nano

kya time pass kar raha hai Pravin Sivan

life hi time pass hai mere bhaii … opinions bahut honge … but ek cheez bolta hoon … visit 5 to 10 showrooms of different brans

then sit at home n do a swat analysis .. then Buy

In which city do you reside?

pune

yes Pravin Sivan nice idea. ty… if i get little idea which cars are better with all aspects, it will be easier to decide after showroom visit.

u cav also go for Ford Figo…

diesel car – nt ev2 its nt upmarket bt vista is a great one.u will get the base model in less than 5 50 i guess.base model have atleast ac power steering etc. but if u can manage around 6 then u can get vista vx loaded wid feautes n also has abs.

u hav to adjust sumwhere vista offers d most space even most of d sedan dont have such xcept of tata’s. if u want space then vista is great bt tata service is nt vry gud.. swift is also an option bt has less space n waitng tym bt service is gud

space wise figo is gud bt i alwys read mixed reviews about it awsum car,bad car no one says nrml car

?@vikas thanks for info, visited tata showroom (padit auto) yesterday, i am 6.3 feet tall and vista car roof was just touching head, was not feeling comfortable.. after asking sales executive he said only top end models have driver seat height adjustment. i liked the car but height seems be an issue.

so which 1 u decide

today visited 2 showrroms ford(figo), hyundai(i20)…. i20 is spacious but seems overpriced and not much pickup. figo looks just ok car but waiting period for both car is more than 1 month. (they have lots of booking pending for diwali)

visiting maruti today evening for swift and ritz… btw tata guys just called and are ready to give ev2 lx immediately.

i guess swift would be the right option..considering your daily run and the budget, u shud b prety o rather mre hapier with its perfomance n quality..morova it has excellent afta sale service n is also high on resale lookin at its demand..also has a good design n mileage,, o if can wait for decmber for new swift desire compact wich would hardly…[Read more]

thanks @rajneesh, vikas, rajat, vishwas, pravin, apurba, upendra, yogesh & sonia for suggestions and helping me choose car. maruti test drive for both cars was nice. ritz seems just ok to me, nice height and space in car..body shape not so impressive and looks more compact. swift drive feel was impressive, suspension and pickup was…[Read more]

should i stretch budget and get zdi with all features or vdi without abs is ok? is it worth paying 80000 extra for those features?

i think its of no use 2 pay dat extra amount..n ma frnd u made a rite choice on swift..grt car with grtst of the perfrmanc in d segment..n considering ur run, petrol wud b js fin….as also to knowledge u mre,looking at d downfall of petrol variants, government is tryin 2 get d diff betwn petrol n diesel closer fr atlst the private vehicles if not…[Read more]

yes, except India all other countries are charging diesel with just 5-10% difference(even in pakistan its 94rs petrol – 79 rs diesel). well there is no guarantee of petrol either.. from last june 2010 our so called govt. has increased almost 19rs. (rs. 56 to 75), it may reach up to 100 till 2012 year end. where as to reach 80 rs mark diesel will…[Read more]

?@rajneesh i might not sell this car even after 5 years, first 3 years i will be happy to go with petrol considering 1 lac rs saving, but what after that? after discussing with friend who’ having honda city, it was shocking to know that his current expenditure just for petrol is not so affordable for his daily running of 60km; and this might be my…[Read more]

i20 sportzz

i20 spertz after disounts costs exact 5.50 lakhs on road

New Swift is gr8 go for it..

Go for Skoda Fabia Active plus or Liva G variant!!!!!!

why BEAT diesel is not considered so far ?

better go with chevrolet beat diesel

Why don’t you got a 3/4 years old Honda City, Maruti SX4 or Honda Civic. One of my friends recently bought a 4 year old (but very good, almost new like condition) Honda Civic only for 5.25 Lakhs.

i20 magna…

ford figo,,ritz..diesel could be an option

from the three that you have mentioned , all of these are comfy in the front seats while the punto and the i20 have a bit more comfort in the rear seats. for reliability nothing beats the swift(both svc in numbers and technically) !! though all three of them are on par with each other. looks are totally subjective to personal…[Read more]
