Hi All,
I have an Alto K10 and have been quite happy with it. It gives me an amazing mileage of 16 in city and 18-22 on highways depending on my driving but never below the averages i mentioned. It has not troubled me at all over the last 40k kms traveled in that car in bit more than a year. But i am considering buying a petrol sedan. I have driven my friend's Diesel Figo and Diesel Ritz regularly but the acceleration and noise in diesel engines are the reason for me going to petrol.
I have considered these -
1) vento/rapid
2) fluidic verna
3) maruti sx4
4) Ford fiesta/classic
I have removed maruti sx4 as the interiors are not so good compared to vento/rapid and doesnt have a rear ac vent. And it looks outdated.
I have not considered Fluidic Verna seriously as it has handling issues above 100 kmph.
I have removed ford fiesta and classic out of consideration as its too old and the new fiesta's design is not that appealing.
I have finally narrowed it down to Vento Petrol. But i am a bit of a rough driver and am concerned a bit about ground clearance. I dont usually slow down on road bumps or potholes. Thats one reason for eliminating Honda city. Need your advice on this part. I intend to use it regularly in cities with a monthly usage of around 1500 kms in cities. And sometimes it might reach upto 3000 km a month.
Are there any other alternatives for this. I was actually waiting for Lancer 2012 but seems its going to be very late. I plan to buy the car in January 2013.
I dont like SUV's or else i would have gone for Duster or XUV500.
Any advice is appreciated.
