Don't kick me for start comparing 3 different segment. I'm a kind of mad monkey when it comes to automobiles.
Looking to exchange my 5 year old Linea with 65k on odo. Reason being the car is getting old and the rear seat is not that comfort (parents complain during long drives) Others it's a no nonsense car and I'm very much happy with it.
Ok, here are my requirements (no specific order)
1) Budget - 9L On road
2) Diesel with Good FE
3) PROPER Sedan, no sub 4 meters (exception for Ecosport)
4) Rear seat comfort (75% car will be driven with only 2 person, but when ever 4 / 5 on board, that's going to be a long drive. so rear seat comfort is most important)
5) ABS must, Airbags optional
6) Least bothered about service network (learned to live with it)
Cars out of my list (no offence please)
- All sub 4 meters
- Ford Fiesta - not a good looker, especially the rear
- Fiat Linea - why another Linea? getting bored
- Manza - Nice VFM car filling all my requirements, but the Looks spoil it
- Etios - Interiors are not applealing
Cars considered
- Nissan Sunny
- Renault Scala
- Ford Classic
- Ford Ecosport
1) Sunny / Scala (XL/XV)
+ Good FE
+ Space, space and space
+ Fits well within my budget
+ Comes loaded with safety package
- Not a good handler
- Interiors are not appealing
2) Ford Classic (Titanium)
+ VFM - Cheapest of the entire choice
+ Titanium comes with ABS & Airbags
+ Wide spread service network
+ Better handling
- Too old
- May be discontinued in near future (future of this car then???)
3) Ecosport (Trend)
+ Ground clearance (Hope pre GC upgrade Linea owners can understand why this came 1st in list)
+ Modern Looks (inside out)
- Price hike, price hike
- Too much waiting period
Should I consider any other cars? (9L budget)
