Dear friends, I think a lot before putting my money and here is what I am planning to buy:
1. Diesel Sedan (Diesel since my monthly running is > 1200 km per month, Sedan since I always wanted to have one and tired of driving hatchback)
2. New Car (no pre-owned car)
3. Should have enough space to sit inside and not ugly looking
4. Mainly I'll drive in City but at times highways as well. I am freak to drive an Alto all the way from Chennai to Kolkata . So want a car with such dependability.
5. Not worried about fuel efficiency much (15 in city and whatever in highway is fime with me)
6. I feel bad in not having a Turbo (Ford Classic Sedan doesn't have, so I didn't like that)
7. ABS + EBD is must for me but I don't feel for airbag
8. Want to keep the car for at least 10 years which means 150k+ km for me. Then I'll sell the car but don't to be looked like a guy selling peanuts.
9. I don't to shell out much money on maintenance but what is more important to me is my car should not sleep at workshop waiting for parts if such time comes...
10. Now come the most important factor: Vitamin M - around 8 lacs on-road in Kolkata
My Research:
1. Honda Amaze (Less than 4 m car, NVH high, simply didn't like during TD)
2. Swift Dezire (Less than 4 m car, TD not yet taken, Using Maruti for last 7 yrs., I'm not uuphoric about Maruti A.S.S., also have to stretch my budget)
3. Ford Classic (No Turbo, otherwise good car, costly)
4. Toyota Etios (High NVH, didn't like during TD, left TD within 5 minutes since I really hated the car)
5. Mahindra Verito (didn't like the look, also not Value For Money)
6. Chevrolet Sail Sedan (Really liked it)
7. Tata Manza (Really liked it, only doslike is Turbo Lag, but can live with it happily given the features and cabin space)
My Doubt:
1. Am I thinking in right direction? If not, please guide me.
2. We all know what happened to Opel cars, they were also excellent, but now all Opel owners are crying to sell their car (please correct me if I am incorrect). Now GM is under the disguise of Chevy. Chevy Aveo owners, are you getting spares on-time? Chevy Sail would follow the same fate in 10 yrs (I want to keep my car for 10 yrs).
3. Tata niggles, who hasn't heard of that? But should I drop my plan of buying Tata Manza in the fear of road-side breakdown (I don't know though)? Will the spares be available easily?
Please guide me on which car should I buy.
