5. Chev Aveo
6. Ford Figo
7. MS Ritz
8. Tata Indica Vista
9. Fiat Punto
10. Skoda Fabia
11. Honda Jazz (Prized too much)

Note that all the cars are petrol version and all the cars listed above has 1.2l engine.Just justify your opinion with your selection, Any new addition are open in the list.

Can give any justification which you like…
e.g. some may like the car’s performance running over the highways!!!

So this is to just know who likes which car and why? lol:

I own a maruti suzuki Zen(98 model used one). i feel the car is doing wonderful. however its very sluggish with its pickup and all with AC and i feel now its too old to have it, though i am using the car for the past 3 years only.
i am now in a plan of getting a new car, your expert suggestions are required…here my terms

1. my budget is <6L ( strictly not more than that)
2. Comfort is required
3. FE is required (not less than 13 in city with AC)
4. offcourse BHP is required when equating with the FE
5. my travel will be of highway 50 ~ 50 ( as i will be taking it office with includes 20KM of IT Expressway travel and 15KM of strict city)
6. Good features needed
7. A.S.S can be compromised (as not often we are gonna stand on the service station when we get a good car, however a decent *** is required)
8. Petrol or desiel ( i prefer Petrol for smooth ride)
9. Strictly there should not be a sluggish feeling when running on AC (
Currently i hate my car AC, if i "on" it, then its better for me to ride a bullock drive becasue its like killing the engine :Frustrati)
10. Needed ABS + Airbags

is AAC is Best or Not in a car? how far its useful and not useful relating with the manual

I personally reviewed some cars

off the lot, my pic

1. New Swift K series engine Zxi model ( has everything that is needed, however afraid of rattling and worried about will it give a good performance on the Highway like its former)

2. Ford Figo -> very good but haven’t got any reviews or specs
3. Chevrolet Beat -> not a proper car of 5 people
4. VW Polo ??
5. not interested in buying Tata Vista ( no offending)
6. How about i20? (just to know, since i heard that on highways with full load its a bit sluggish)

your valuable suggestions are required, ready to negotiate 1 or 2 features but not with Budget lol!!!

my personal opinion lies with the New swift… please tell me the merits and demerits with the new Swift (what about the rattling in new swift?) please: HELP

actually i thought of writting more which is on mind, but not able to recollect everything, will update the thread accodingly

This is magnanimousdude, i am a Sr.System Engineer in an esteemed organisation here in chennai. I am really excited to be a part of this team (Bingo!!!!!!!!!!!) :thumbs up. wheels are my passion, right from my childhood (bicycle) till now with a four wheeler. my first two wheeler travel started in college days when i owned yamaha RX100 for couple of years, then changed my bike to get a better FE vehicle Hero Honda Dawn (initially i was really pissed off with the performace of the bike but that was the only vehicle i used for 5 years since then ), now i own an apache RTR 160. down the line from now 3 years back i got my first car Maruti suzuki Zen(used one), from then till now i am happy with the car however i feel the car is sluggish with AC(otherwise OK). I am now planning to buy a new car :). finally arrived here to pick my good choice. Hoping to continue enjoy my stay here with my fellow people…Thanks
