Hi,
I'm considering buying a used car. I've done an extensive research on used cars available in the market using online portals and dealerships, and i'm quite excited to be able to get a good car under my budget of 4,50,000 (maximum). For this price, i'm getting top end models of mid-range or premium hatchbacks, generally 2-3 years old models. Some mid-range sedans (again, top end models, 2-3 years old) are also within my reach.
I need a suggestion which car to settle down with, considering all the key factors i'm mentioning below:
1. I live in Panipat, Haryana. Its a small city with an area of 64 km² only. Its packed with crowded streets and roads, so i need something which'll perform well in city traffic.
2. I work from home, which rules out my daily usage of the vehicle. It'll be mostly used on weekends for small trips within 50-60 km reach.
3. I've a small family, including my mother and my brother. So its not necessary for me to have a spacious car with large boot space, but more space and comfort is always welcome.
4. Petrol vs Diesel: which one'd you recommend for city traffic and once-in-a-while trips within 200 KM range.
5. Low maintenance, affordable spare parts, good after sale service and good mileage are also very important.
I personally prefers Swift (only downside is lack of good rear space), i20 (packed with good features; more spacious and comfortable compared to Swift), Brio (i love it), Linea (indeed a beauty but i'm skeptical about Tata's service quality). But i'd love to consider your expert advice.
