Hi
I am thoroughly confused about which car to buy, my budget is around 9.5L and the car will basically be a family car.
80% of the time it will have only 2 persons and rest of the times 4(we're all around 5'10")
It will mostly be used for doing short distances within the city(600Km/month) with maybe 1 long distance trip(Mumbai-Pune-Mumbai) every month or more like 2 trips every 3 months.
I will atleast hold on to this car for the next 5 years.
I'm open to MT/AT/Petrol/Diesel, for me what matters most is the overall value for money. I dont want to shell out huge sums for service/spares/repairs(I own a swift and a honda city which have served me very well so far and this car will be a replacement for the honda city). I'd like a car that is hassle free, fun to drive, comes with basic features(good music system with bluetooth, alloy wheels, ABS, airbags would be nice, good suspension(dont want to be doing suspension work) and ofcourse fun to drive. I'm no speed junky but at the same time, I wouldnt want a sluggish car.
I started off with Vento, Rapid, Fiesta, Linea, Ecosport, Sunny.
Vento - I feel the rapid is better in terms of VFM.
Rapid - I quite like it.
Fiesta- The back felt a bit cramped, though we would normally never have 5 persons, just a thought. Also preferred the Vento and the Rapid to it.
Linea - I like the car, but everyone has advised me against it. Poor after sales, spares and resale value.
Ecosport- 3-4 months waiting :(
Sunny - Resale value is a concern and no one I personally know has the sunny so I'm not very sure.
Experts, over to you!!!
