@ nishant,

accent is a better car.

cs is good but not upto accent levels. its petrol is not that good & diesel also econimical but ok on quality & starts making noises after 2-3 years or so.

there are discounts & offers going on for accent, so check it out & see finally at wat price accent comes & remenber u can bargain hard & get what maximum u can get.

if u reay to spend around 5 lacs than as per me accent would be the best buy.

sure i will look acent too... thanks man... so personally you suggest... hundai then maruti and then tata coz of engines. But what about mileage ... i guess hundai engines give less mileage then compare to ... tata and maruti..  

one more thing if i converted accent to cng/lpg .. how much it would cost me and how it would be cost per km.

let me know if i am asking too many questions

@ nishant,

as u dont have that much of running going for a cng/lpg option would not be a viable option as u will save nothing. as for the kit ull have to initially pay a big amount & than u will not be able to cover it & with these kits there also be a marginal dip in performance, so y go for it.

if u had a substantial running than it would be viable but as of now there is no need for it, & if u want a cng/lpg option accent also comes with a company fitted kit, inquire abt it at the hyundai dealership.

hi guys,

finally have decided to buy one of these two cars..

i.e.

1) i10 megna 1.2 kappa petrol engine

2) indica vista 1.3 quadrajet diesel engine

reasons

1) i10 megna -

- small car but good inner space.. and supported by feature such as stearing adjustment which helps guy like me 6 feet to fit in easly..

- good outlook as well as good interior..

- good price.. 4.3 better then ritz, punto etc..

- good mileage 12.5 to 15 comarative

- good engine... provides good power and smoth drvie..

2) vista quadrajet.

- most spacious in hetchback category.

- looks good enough for me.

- good price.. 5.1 better then ritz, swift, punto etc..

- good mileage 14.5 to 19 comarative

- good engine... fiat one.. provides good power and smoth drvie..

if I compare these two cars...

vista gives me more features.. such as Rear Wash Wiper,Front Fog Lights, Defogger (Rear), AM/FM Radio, CD Player,Height-Adjustable Driver's Seat etc..but i10 engine is proven.. compare to vista's as i am buying car for long run.. i have to look into this also.. i dont know how vista's engine will turn out after 3 years or so.. price diff between these two are 80k

my daily run would be around 20 to 25 kms... and i am having budget of buying any of this car. I would like to use this car for atleast next 5 years.. with low maitainance...

so if you put yourself at my place which one you pick and why..

thanks in adv...

@ nishant,

go for the vista quadraget. it is more car per car at than price, as it offers a fully loaded car with very good features & convinience.

though u dont have that much of running but howmuch ever u drive it will save u on running costs & in future if u want to go for long drives than u can go easily without thinking twice for tthe cost in which petrol would be tad expensive to go that much of distance compared to diesel.

i would would be u i would go with vista quadraget aura.
