First, Thanks for creating such an interesting topic. Although this is subjective, and response may vary but in my personal view, Today, the Gen-Y prefer things to be sporty and bold when it comes to cars and bikes. Features – they all depends in which category the car belongs to, but special and unexpected features always grab the attention instantly, and also helps making USP for manufacturer. I personally would love to be seen driving around in sports car or a luxury saloon.

Drive Safe,

Hmm, for me i prefer a neatly customized ride. Let it be a hatchback, sedan or a SUV.

But to share in detail, in today's context, i prefer a Swift DDiS or an i20 Crdi!

But if I had money, I would simply go for a Fortuner with huge rims!![evil]

In general for youth Swift diesel is an best option.

Don know why but i always prefer a C+ or D-segment sedan! So it will be Civic or Jetta or Cruze or maybe even Sonata transform! If i have enough money will go in for a 320d or a 520d.

Next on my list is an SUV like Fortuner or Captiva!

Only minor cosmetic mods maybe for all my rides , thats it!

2) keyless entry
3) start/stop button
4) xenon lights
5) LED tail lights!
6) Triple row AC
7) ABS + 4 Airbags
8) TCS & EBD
9) music controls on steering wheel
10) Rockford fosgate 9 speaker music system!
11) hill descent control
12) AWD switchable to 2WD
13) electronic parking brake
14) automatic lights & wipers
15) cruise control
16) reverse sensors
17) tyre pressure sensors
18) electric ORVMs with electric retract
19) indicators on ORVMs
20) 17" alloys

Hmmm yes those are the features i would want in my car be it either a sedan or an SUV. Of course take out the AWD if its a sedan! In addition to Raj's list i want a sun-roof too , don ask why i like cars with sun-roof!:stupid:


And forget RF music system , i am happy with a music system which has USB and i-pod connectivity which is good in SQ .

Raj almost all those features you mentioned are present in Aria and Captiva! Santa-Fe is also expected to have most of the features and so in Mahindra's new SUV! We have lots of choices to choose from![:D]

Thanks guys for lovely reponses :)

Let's make it more fun and share our thought on which category of vehicle would a male prefer and which would a female prefer and why?

Lets also discuss colours, features and interiors and all that comes to our mind when we think of the car for the Indian youth.
