Hello TAIans,
I am planning to buy a hatch in next 3-5 months from now. Currently I have a 2 year old Alto K10 and I am totally disappointed with it. I want to make sure this time I take a right decision in picking the right car for me as I don’t have any plans to upgrade for next 5 years. My usage will be around 500-600 km per month (80% in Bangalore's heavy traffic); hence diesel car is ruled out. My budget is 6 lakhs OTR (OTR prices in Bangalore is higher compared to other places) and below is my requirement:
1. Good Fuel Efficiency & Low Cost of Maintenance: Considering the ever increasing petrol prices, good fuel efficient engine is my top priority. At the same time I do not want to pay premium for maintaining it. A car with a minimum cost to maintain on a longer run is what I will be looking at.
2. Space & Comfort : Comfortness while driving is what I am missing in my Alto! I am 6 feet tall and feel very discomfort while driving even during small drives. So looking for a car which has good interior space for both driver and rear passengers (Should have decent leg room and shoulder room).
3. Handling & Ride Quality : The car should handle well both in city and on highways. As I mentioned before, I will be driving mostly within the city. So looking for a car which can maneuver easily in the heavy traffic without causing much stress and at the same time should be fun to drive (stability at high speed) on the highways. I know I cannot expect outright performance in this segment but a decent handling and good ride quality (good suspension) is what I need.
4. Others Factors : Good AC & Music system (Since I am looking top variant, car will come with factory fitted music system. As far as I have heard, these will not be that good. I don’t want to upgrade, so would like to have a decent set).
I have shortlisted:
Ritz Zxi
Figo Titanium
Grand i10
Please suggest me which fits best to my requirements.
