Dear Friends and Car experts,
This is my first post here.
I am planning to buy a Hatchback (within 6.5 L (MAX.): On Road). It is my NEED not a luxury.
I stay in Bangalore with my 11 month baby and wife. My need is :
1> On Emergency 2> Long drive during week ends. Use will be not much in city.
A> Should I but Diesel Car Or Petrol ? (Petrol price is getting too high day by day. )
Following are the important points for me.
a> Safety. Car should be well build and roughed.
b> Quality riding & driving comfort.
c> Good Mileage.
d> Low Maintain cost (Low TCO).
e> I am not looking for resale point.
Basis on these points I selected
1> Fiat Grande Punto Emotion 1.2 /1.4 (this cost almost 6 - 7.2 L in Bangalore, but without airbag etc...)
2> Ford Figo Titanium 1.2 or 1.4 (I found some complain about headlight and ground clearance with 5 full size people.) (this cost 5.5 to 6.7 L in Bangalore)
Questions:
1> Can you please let me know which car should I buy and why?
2> What about the feedback on Figo?
3> Can I Fit a CNG or LPG kit to a Figo petrol in future ?
4> In Chennai the same Figo cost less. Can I buy it in Chennai and use it in Bangalore without re-registration?
6> Should I wait for NEW FIGO 1.6 ? I may buy the car in July ,2011.
Best regards and Thanks in Advance.
(I am only interested either Punto or Figo.)
