I'm planning to buy a diesel hatchback and after some research on the Internet, had shortlisted Ford Figo Duratorq Diesel EXI and Toyota Etios Liva GD. I had booked test drive on Ford’s and Toyota’s web site. I got automated emails from both. Ford has not contacted me yet. Toyota forwarded my request to the nearest dealer (as indicated by me) and a sales guy contacted me. But before I could take the test drive, my company has sent me abroad for few months.
I'm continuing my research from here so that I can buy the car as soon as I'm back in India. That's when I stumbled upon this post in TAI (http://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/technical-zone/9964-what-went-wrong-ford-figo.html). That sealed the fate of Figo. So I'm left with Liva GD (diesel).
But my decision is not final without TAI community's inputs; hence this post .
My requirements are:
- New Car
- Location: Cochin, Kerala
- Priorities: Low maintenance, after sales service quality and speed, fuel efficiency, good ride on bad roads, space, easy to drive in city.
- Monthly Running: At least 600 km in city and 300 km on highway
- Type of Fuel: Diesel
- Purpose: Regular use with occasional highway trip
- Seating Capacity: Maximum 5 adults
- Type of Segment: Hatchback
Please give your valuable inputs.
