I'll be honest, I started this thread just before booking the Ford Figo Titanium+. Just so I won't regret it.
My priorities:
Other points: Should only be the top end variant, I don't want to feel like I'm missing something. No Maruti: Don't ask why
Cars considered:
Is there any other car worth buying in my budget?
Cars not considered:
Swift: To common, and the 1.3 MJD.
Brio: Dad rejected it even without looking. Hates the tailgate.
Baleno: Too expensive, Maruti, looks ugly to me at least.
etc.
Awaiting your suggestions. Thanks!
My priorities:
- Safety first
- Hatch
- Diesel: Our monthly running is high
- Good engine, should be happy in the city and a performer on the highway
- Moderate features, not too loaded, not barebones either
- Nice interior quality
- Shouldn't be wider than ~1675mm, my mother also will be driving
- Boot space doesn't matter
- Mileage should be reasonable. Not too high, not low but 1000 Rs. worth of fuel should last enough.
Other points: Should only be the top end variant, I don't want to feel like I'm missing something. No Maruti: Don't ask why
Cars considered:
- Tata Bolt: Took a test drive, but the clutch felt funny. Also, the 1.3 MJD seems a bit old now
- Nissan Micra/Renault Pulse: Nothing really special or unique, so rejected.
- Honda Jazz: Too long, too expensive, visibility for 5'6' people = Almost none
- Hyundai Elite i20: It's too wide. At least looks too wide.
- Grand i10: Dad rejected it .
- Fiat Punto: Walked into the showroom. Looked to our left. Paint falling off the walls. The receptionist was just sitting there. Took our name/number. Called someone from the workshop. He pulls the door handle. Locked. "Who the hell locks it?" unlocks it, proceeds to tell us about the car though he knows nobody will buy it. We didn't feel like wasting his time, it was pretty evident the dealership will close down pretty soon. Went away without a test drive. The poor guy handed us the last brochure in the showroom. Rejected, feeling sorry about Fiat India. Never got a call back. Not surprised.
