Hello everyone,

Iam sreeraj.[:)] Iam an engineering student and iam planning to have my first car. I really need suggetions and openions from all of you. My parents have listed TATA indigo ecs GLX petrol ver. for me, but hearing a lot of good and bad reviews about the car and iam confused. Hope you guys will help me.

Maximum budget : 5.5 k

Requirements : must be spacious and good looking (never mind mileage)

I'm looking for the petrol version coz the maximum running will be around 250 km per month, and dat too is a reason y i went for tata petrol car.
iam giving more priority to indigo coz its a sedan, the features it provides, spacious and heard its a VFM car. The OTP of the car at kerala is 5.32.500 INR. iam looking forward to all your valuable openions guys and please let me know if i cud have a better car within this budget.

cheers guys [cheers]

[surprise]5.5 k
Why not consider Ritz Petrol? My gross report of a Ritz:
FE on highways with AC on : 21 kmpl
FE in city with AC on : 16 kmpl

Pros:
Refined and rev free engine, high speed stability is also good, well controlled body roll, air con is good.
Cons:
Boot Space, Rear bench is bit strangled for space.

Still I suggest not to go for a petrol Tata vehicle .If you wish to have a Tata car raise the budget and go for diesel your driving will dramatically increase in six month time for sure, for petrol Hyundai and Maruthi are the best! you have a good budget and why [frustration]?

Re: Fresher in TAI

Sreeraj welcome to TAI, As a beat owner I will recommend beat LT1.2 (O). it comes with ABS, alloys, airbags, automatic climate control and much more features. plus you can obtain a milage of upto 23 by good driving, currently am getting a milage of 19 km/Ltr. OTR for petrol option pack around 5.20 at pkd.

I second your mom's thought. kudos to her [clap] {no offense Ritz owners}.
Why punto petrol? If you are OK with Hatchback you have a lot of options buddy.

Re: Need suggestions for my first car; Should i buy Indigo eCS GLX petrol?

hi Maximas007.... still my first preference is indigo itself... (actually decided by my parents )

but personally iam having two choices with me now indigo and punto 1.2 petrol...i have to collect more details on both... and have to know if i can afford 1.2 dynamic within my budget ( TATA indigo e cs comes with a tempting price tag of 5.3 k)...
i know FIAT is way better than TATA but wat to say, i ve fallen in love with the mini sedan from TATA..:stupid:
and must say the showroom experience wasnt that bad afterall... i [:)]

Hmmm I think you have decided with Indigo [evil] go for it buddy without hesitation.

Again no petrol from fiat also if decided on hatch go for Maruthi or Hyundai (again just my opinion let experts comment on this )

Hi
In overseas please have a look on the below link. Any way its a Multiair engine but not Fire. But Fiat petrols are also good

But when you made a statement like "no fiat petrol " , i think you had a more valid explanation from your experience . It would be helpful if you please explain the areas fiat petrol's are infamous. Form my experience it is

1. Refined
2, Rev friendly
3. Low end torque is there for city driveability
4. Fuel efficieny: 12.5 in city and 14.5 in hghway (As the kerb weight is more i dont expect the punto to offer more )
