Hi guys,
Some of you may have gone through previous thread regarding used car suggestion.
http://www.theautomotiveindia.com/f...09-used-car-suggestion-under-rs-3-5-lakh.html
Unfortunately, could not find a decent used car which fulfilled all my requirements. So i'm in the market for a new car with a budget of 5 lacs( + 50k). H . My monthly running will be around 600 kms. I will also be undertaking long highway drives( 700 kms+) once in 3 months.ere are some of the models i'm considering. Please suggest the best option.
1) Maruti Suzuki Swift : Lxi(o) model falls under my budget. Except small boot, everything else looks good. I would have loved to go with higher variant with Airbags and ABS however it way beyond my budget. Swift Zxi is 7 lacs OTR after discount.
2) Grand i10 magna.. Offers more features that swift however i did not like the comfort of the seats. I'm not sure if this car would be good for 700 kms + highway rides. For city rides, grand i10 is no-brainer .
3) Tata Zest : Lower variant of Zest should fall within my budget. Car seems to be very spacious and well built. I'm worried about TATA's reliability.
4) Honda Brio : Looks like a good car. If online reviews are to be believed, this is a great car for highways.
5) Wagon R: Top of the line Vxi trim with ABS and Airbag( Driver side only) for 5.1 Lac OTR after hefty discounts. I don't like the looks of Wagon R and moreover it doesn't look well built compared to Swift and Grand i10.
Thanks
Sumesh
