Planning to buy a new car for myself. Really liked the Scross Zeta variant, as it has most of the utility features in it only missing out on auto wiper and headlights probably.
But having secong second thoughts on it because everyone says MS build quality is not safe and no ESP and TC feature in the car (really think I want this, as it may help in the rain or other unforseen instance).
I don't want to upgrade again in a few years. Want to use it for long term - full 15 years if it doesn't give trouble.
That said I like its drive feeling with the light and smooth clutch and gear shifting. The spacious nature of the car is also something I like. Boot space is okay for me.
Also, tried the Nexon due to its safety features but was not happy for the uneven acceleration and the clutch felt like having a kickback during the release, which i think will be a problem in heavy traffic driving in city and put strain in the legs. Both clutch and gear did not feel good. Also there was a lot of noise and vibrations in the car.
My requirements:
1. Drive should be smooth, light and relaxed.
2. Mostly city drive with little bit vacation riding (once in 2 months). Will want to go to hill station vacation rides as well.
3. 30km per day city travel in medium to heavy traffic (will shift back to bangalore after the pandemic)
4. Safe for highway rides at speed of about 100-110kmph.
5. Spacious.
6. Should have most utility features like automatic climate control, rear window wiper-defogger, an okay music system and such.
Questions:
1. How important is ESP and TC in cars? Should i not worry and just buy Scross? Is it not that useful? At what speed does ESP become useful?
2. How about build quality of Scross?
3. Should i wait for the 2022 model relaunch, will it probably have ESP included this time.
4. Any other suggestions.
