Hello Everyone,
This is my first post/ thread on TAI and I need suggestions from everyone.
I have been driving a 2007 Esteem Vxi (87k kms) for the last years, which I enjoyed thoroughly. I sadly let go of the car last week and am currently using a 2008 Alto which was my previous car and currently given to my mom.
I had booked a Ritz Zxi on 10th September through company lease and was hoping I would get the car fast enough before the Durga Pujas at least. However the car is still not yet dispatched. My mom wants the Alto back since she being a journalist requires it time and again.
Based on the interactions with the dealer it seems it will be near/past Diwali till I get the car which is an issue for my daily commute to office specially since its still raining in Kolkata. I do have a wonderful landlord who have offered their 3.5 year, only 7k kms run Wagon R to me to use however I want to avoid that obligation and taking advantage of their nicety.
Now I am a really impatient guy when it comes to cars and at two minds to change the booking to a Swift Vxi which is exactly the same OTR of around 5.6L. Though my head says to wait for the Ritz (and I want to) however the ready availability of the Swift is pulling me towards it. Other cars like Gi10 Sportz and Honda Brio VMT is also readily available however no one other than the Ritz has safety features at this price. I cannot increase the amount since its 100% under company lease and thats the amount which has been approved by my payroll.
Please advice. My main criteria is highway performance and fun like I had in the esteem. No compromises on that.
