Hi Car Experts.. Serious Query.. I am inte - 12545

Hi Car Experts.. Serious Query.. I am interested in Buying a New Car with following requirements:- 1. Range 5lacs to 6.5lacs. 2. I prefer to buy entry level sedan with good boot space. 3. My Daily Run is 20kms in city traffic & 1500 kms in a year on highways. 4. I want a good looking car with all new Tech features. Car Should have good mileage (Petrol or Diesel - Still Confusing).I plan to hold car for next 5 years, so no phasing out models. 5. Short Listed - In Sedans - Ford Fiesta (diesel),, Very much keen to buy Toyota Etios Sedan. (But God knows when they are launching this car). 6. I feel due to budget restrictions I will have to compromise on high end hatch backs... I also short listed - Ford Figo, New Skoda Fabia & Hyundai i20... 7. Please Don't suggest any Tata or Maruti.. Because I am just not interested... 8. Finally I would love to buy Fiesta Diesel - Limited Edition model... But people say Co. will bring up new fiesta in Jan 2011... What To Do... No Idea... So Kindly help me out to buy a good Decent Looking, Gr8 Mileage, Good Boot Space Car.... Also I feel that I would get Good year ending discounts.. Specially in month of December... Is it worth waiting for Jan 2011 Awaiting for your Suggestions... Regards Bhavesh

Hi,

I don't think u can make a dicision coz i feel ur bit confused,u r not able to short list either sedan, neither tha hatch back. First plz understan what is sedan & how it's differenciated from Hatch back. If u go with a actual meaning, all the cars u mentioned are far away from sedans coz minimum sedan starts with Toyota Corolla & the listed one are just peanuts... :).

If u want a seden kind of vehicle with boot space & that too new one well within ur range, u have only options like Indico Manza petrol, Swift Dzire, Ford Icon Flair or if u can streach lill, then u can think about Chovey optra/ Cruze or Fiet Linea.....!

Don't ever think about Toyota coz i don't think u can maintain it as all toyota vehicles will come out after service for minimum 12 to 15K INR.

If u wish to go with a hatch back, go with either swift VDI or Fiet Grand Punto. I20 is the poor car in this segment w.r.t power & AC.

Limited edition Fiesta is wonderful car but it's ex show room price is only 6.75 Lacs something, so on road it may touch 8 Lacs.

Further ur well wish,

All the best..!
