Hi Folks,
A very good evening to all members. This will be my first car purchase in my life. I had small stints of driving my father in law's/father's car. So I am still a learner and my driving is rusty in nature. Monthly consumption is ~1300 with ~50% in Bangalore city. # of folks in the car will be mostly 2 including me. Following are my requirements in the order of priority for a C2 segment sedan (No SUVs or hatchbacks) within a budget of 10-13 lakhs
1. Fun and delightful to drive
2. Safety and comfort for typical occupants of 2
3. Long term durability and reliability
4. Fuel consumption and resale value
5. Gadgetry / extra non-car features
After going through many reviews following are my choices in order.
1. New Fiat Linea T-jet:
Like the looks.
Safety features and
Fun and addictive to drive with excellent handling
5 years warranty and hence I guess it is going to more reliable
Priced reasonably with discounts
2. New Ford Fiesta
Like the looks
Diesel economy
Lots of premium features
Priced reasonably
3. Skoda Rapid DSG
DSG is mouth watering. Don't like the looks of Vento twin
Additional stuff like ESP, break assist, projector headlamps
4. Honda City ivtec
Best seller and supposedly reliable eventhough only 40K or 2 year warranty
Excellent city ride
Lots of cabin space
Lots of additional features and intutive controls
Would humbly request your inputs on my choices according to my requirements and suggest if anything else I can consider ?
