Hello all TAIers,
Writing after long time as have been caught up between lot of stuff including 3-4 hours commute to/from office :(
The topic is as mentioned in the subject, the use case is wife has to drop and pickup our kid to/from school 6 days a week. The school is 3 KM away and opting for bus is ruled out due to many constraints.
We still are enjoying Punto diesel (7 years now) but wife is refusing to drive a manual and that too the car which feels big while driving and with turning radius and all.
So for the above mentioned requirement, we are planning to buy a small automatic car. So far we have seen offerings by Maruti and my wife seems inclined towards Alto K10 AMT (VXI).
But having experience with TAI in the past with so many experts around, I thought better to get your comments before closing.
Please provide your opinion, comments.
Thanks!
