[saubhik]

Dear members,
One of my friends is in a big confusion. He wants to buy an automatic hatchback within 6Lacs On road. His main criterias are:
1. Around 600 km monthly run on highways.
2. Around 200 km monthly run in city.
3. Wants to negotiate some big speed breakers and some bad patch of roads.
4. Overtaking on highways should not be a problem. he drives sedtaely thogh. Average speed is 60-70 kmph most of the times.
5. ABS and Airbags are mandatory.
He has zeroed down two cars.
1. Stingray VXI (o) AMT
2. Celerio ZXI (o) AMT
he has shortlisted the stingray only because of its all black interiors. but he is hell confused.
Please help Guys.
thanx in advance.

Re: Need suggestion for my friend!!!!

Wagon R Stingray with the AMT is best choice in my opinion. It has tall boy design with good egress and ingress. It is a decent performer and fill it-shut it types.

Definitely vote for stingray due to below reasons
1. More VFM compare to celerio
2. Comfortable seats with adjustable headrest
3. Black interior with better quality & better front appearance (This is personal preference as i hated celerio seats and interior quality)
4. Fog lamps and Alloys (missing from celerio zxi amt optional)

Btw i too booked stingray amt vxi optional in January first week and still waiting for the delivery. As per dealer hardly any takers for stingray so kind of made to order. In general optional variants waiting periods are 1-3 months but stingray waiting period might be longer due to less demand.
