Dear friends, this is my first post in the forum! I'm currently working in Singapore but my parents are back in Kerala and I visit them often. As it's time to say bye bye to our trustworthy workhorse Maruti 800, I'm in search for a higher segment replacement.
I set my budget to "in and around" 5 lakhs, what could be a good purchase?
I need only petrol model (I think even at current price we need only petrol as the odo of our M800 shows an average running of 10k km per year, or is it worth to look for diesel ones?)
We need spacious vehicle (hence not longing for i10 and beat, else I liked the looks of these most. However, I'm not too bothered about the look)
Reasonably good power (especially when ac on), if can reach 100km/h effortlessly that's what all I need. But want a hassle free engine and build. I will be driving occasionally only, rest of the time will be chauffeur driven
Ford Figo (Lxi, or Exi) and Ritz Lxi or Vxi(if in the affordable range above 5L) are the ones I'm keenly looking. I know Ritz engine is superior but overall which of the above will be more VFM when mileage and maintenance taken in to account?
Any other model worth looking with this budget and criteria? How about Indica Vista Petrol? Is it as much trouble free as the above two?
I request the experts in this forum to share a few tips.
Thanking you
