So, once again am in the exciting phase of a car selection, dealer selection and a variant selection. Wow, this is just fascinating for any auto freak!
Requirement: Hatch for predominantly city use for my father in law.
After lot of deliberations, my FIL is ready for a new hatch to replace his 6 year old trusted Alto. Need is pretty straight forward - hatch for city drive and usage would be minimal. Hence diesel goes out of the window straight away. After discussing with him about various options, we kind of zeroed on i10 and Ritz petrol as final contenders. Budget - 6L max.
Next step - Calling up dealers to find out appx on road price.
a) Garuda for Ritz - having bought my Alto here, gave them first preference. But alas was left touch disappointed - with Ritz pricing as well as dealer's attitude. Vxi was the model in th budget which doesn't even come with a music system and more over dealer response was very cold. So put a fulstop and moved ahead.
b) Blue Hyundai for i10 : new Blue Hyundai showroom is opened at Basavanagudi at a stone throw distance from my home. So gave it a priority and wasn't disappointed doing so. Its been 2 days since I spoke to them and they are in constant touch with him. For the budget Sports option variant is available which is just under 6L and comes loaded with features compared to Ritz Vxi.
Next step - to meet dealer personally and finalize on offers and price. Other dealer options are usual Adwaith and Trident. But Blues Hyundai is the closest. Shall keep this thread updated.
In the meanwhile any feedback about Blue Hyundai's service would help. Also pointers on i10 service cost would be helpful. Off late have heard people complaining about Hyundai's service costs. Don't want it to be too heavy on my FIL's pocket as he is planning this car for his post retirement life.
