Hi Gurus,
Require your help on choosing a new premium hatchback for my wife for a budget between Rs 5-10 lakhs On-Road Delhi. Need to replace our current I20 which is 4 years old with a odometer reading of 40000kms, selling it off as typical I20 problems of suspension & steering column replacement along with ac problems that are cropping up.
Requirements as follows:-
Fuel; Petrol
Seating Capacity; 4-5
Use; 80% self driven single passenger and 20% with 5 passengers on weekends. 95% city driven.
Usage; 800kms per month.
Period; 5-7 years
Mileage; Min 12kmpl in city.
Must have features:-
Dual Airbags
ABS with EBD
Reliable manufacturer with a sound & reasonably priced spare parts supply reputation.
Good utility of bottle holders, mobile, sun glasses, ticket holders, etc
All 5 wheels with similar sizes
Front Fog Lamps
Electrically fold-able and internally operated OVRM's
Power sockets
Vanity mirror on both driver and passenger side
Tool kit, jack, etc should be in a integrated set-up under the dickey floor mat.
Bluetooth connectivity for phone with controls on steering wheels.
Symmetrical designed dashboard with the entertainment system in exact centre when viewed from the rear of car.
Premium feel and quality of interiors.
Central locking.
Reliable AC cooling system that lasts at least 7 years. Blower should be preferably silent.
Car Pick and drop facility for workshop during service.
Honest and knowledgeable service executives who do not irritate by calling for un-necessary services like carbonisation, ac cleaning, interior fungal cleaning, anti rust & paint protection coating, etc
Manual book that is specific to the model of the car.
Child lock
Remote boot, bonnet & fuel lid.
Height adjustable seat belts.
Adjustable driver seat.
Steering tilt and telescopic adjustment.
Additional preferable features:-
Front & Rear Disc brakes.
Company fitted Leather seats
Alloy wheels without the small wheel caps.
Auto windows up facility on locking the car.
Parcel tray that doesn't slide.
Rear washer.
Audio system with 4 speakers plus 2 tweeters and pre outs.
Not exactly looking at gimmos of auto lights, drl's auto wiper, rear camera & parking sensors, cruise control, anti pinch windows, visors, roof rails, spoiler, double barrel headlights, etc. Number plates of car should be suitably placed that they dont get hit first in case of any collision. Also don't need a huge boot or other space as we have no requirement to transport luggage or animals, primarily for travel to office purpose and not any commercial use. Willing to wait for six months if in case there may be any exciting launches of Skoda Fabia, etc
So kindly suggest a car that meets our requirements. Thanks in advance.
