Hi folks,
my first post on AI-
I am looking for a new AT. Have a requirement for
1) decent fuel economy
2 )Decent space for 4 adults (2 elderly ones at back)
3) reasonable maintenance
4) Reasonable boot space
5) Decent resale value.
Have shortlisted Astar, Brio, Micra CVT, Grand I-10 and regular I-10 (one available in Sportz trim).
The budget is between 5.5 to 7.5 lac.
Did a test drive of Astar , Brio so far.
Astar- decent performance in traffic, not-too-many features but ABS is there- atrocious rear seat comfort and boot space.
Brio- extremely smooth to drive- reasonable comfort in the rear seat, small boot space, slight worry about Honda maintenance costs.
Havent test drivent I10 Grand or I10 yet but I am told that their fuel efficiency is generally lower than the other automatics.
Nissan CVT is fully loaded , but pricey, and am not sure about after sales cost and service experience.
Also, I believe the resale value of the Honda would be the highest amongst these.
I own a Linea TJet plus, so obviously i am keeping my overally driveability/ ride-handling expectations low from these cars, but I hear that Brio is pretty decent on highway runs.
Any recommendations? Head says Astar purely based on cost, but 4 seat comfort is poor. Heart says Brio- but Honda after sales costs are a slight concern( i feel they may be high).
Dunno about Micra.
