Cars Q&A

Hi, My questions about purchasing of a new car are somewhat similar. 1. Daily commuting is around 15kms/day and monthly driving is around 200 kms. I believe that makes petrol as the better option looking at thumb rule of min. around 1200km/month for a diesel 2.Mileage is a important factor to consider 3. Rear seating comfortable for 3 and decent boot space 4. ABS The cars I ruled out are : Figo : Have heard pretty negative feedback about maintenance Swift : Good car, but may opt for Ritz based on reviews (better rear seating space) i10 : Again, would choose Ritz for relatively more rear seating space and boot. Can be considered, however. Punto : Expensive. Felt sluggish gearbox and low on pick-up during test drive Options : Ritz : Have heard good reviews. Low on maintenance. Mileage of 15 reported by a friend who has used it for around 3000kms i20 : Great car. Superb looks and interiors. Decent boot and rear seating space (however heard that a bulge on rear seat makes rear seating inconvenient for person in middle). Have not heard anything on mileage. Variant with ABS (Sportz) is slightly over my budget of 6L Polo : Not much research done. Currently no dealer in my city, but heard that there would be one in 6 months. Will be an option only after that Please share thoughts on this. Regards, Rakesh
