After a lot of research (more than 2 months and waiting for membership approval), i have kind of short listed Dzire and Manza (both diesel). I had originally planned for a hatchback but Dad\/Sister did not agree. He said &quot;people graduate from hatchback to sedan and you want to go from sedan to hatchback&quot;!! (I own a Maruti Esteem)<b>.<\/p>\n<p><\/b>My budget is 6 to 6.75 lacs and i have not considered Ford Ikon (D) for its old looks, no new features and service is questionable. Incidentally that was the only other sedan in that price range.<b> <\/p>\n<p>Distance<\/b>:<br \/>\nDaily travel will be anywhere between 60-75 Kms every day, of which 75% is city and 25% is highway.<b><\/p>\n<p>Driving:<\/b><br \/>\nMostly self driven (70%). Though right now i have a chauffer.<\/p>\n<p><b>Parking:<\/b><br \/>\nNo designated parking place and will be parked on roads.. Specially Mumbai people will understand as to how it is to park cars in Bandra to Andheri area. <\/p>\n<p><b>Ownership Period:<\/b><br \/>\nI will be keeping the vehicle for atleast 4 years.<b><\/p>\n<p>Other considerations:<\/b><br \/>\nLow maintenance costs. High FE. Trouble free driving experience.<\/p>\n<p>On a personal level, i have TD both cars and found both to be extremely efficient and practical. Look and waiting period wise i am not in favour of DZire and Manza looks huge for only one person. <b>(confusion reason No. 1)<br \/>\n<\/b><br \/>\nThe driving scene is changing pretty fast and i feel everyday that more cars are on road than the earlier day and if i go for Manza, where will my car fit in traffic chaos!! <b>(confusion reason No. 2)<br \/>\n<\/b><br \/>\nMy friend who recently bought a Linea top end is insisting on Manza and he also TD it. His opinion is for approximately same price, you are getting a new car minus the waiting period and more features. <b>(confusion reason No. 3)<\/p>\n<p><\/b>Please advice as i intend to book the car in a few days.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I guess that this topic is too old for discussion (as i have gone through the forums and have found threads existing.
