Punto,Vista or Swift

Hyundai and maruti are best inafter sales service.

If your major concern is look, then go for i10 sports.

Finally my family members don't like Ritz. coz of its odd rear shape .

Also the interior of the i10 is more pleasant for them..

So i decided to go with i10 sportz..

Thanks a lot guys for your valuable suggestions..

I request u all to post the pros and cons of i10.

i10 fuel consumption is more than Punto MJ

MJ engine is rocking, every body using the same.  

4 years warranty on Punto.

even for small trips you can use Punto MJ.

shifting from Ikon to i10 is not worth it.

It is good, but most costly. Maruti and Tata is cheaper.

I am not a owner of ikon... U all misunderstood...

Now only u i am planning for ma first car...

you wrote here for Ikon,  any way.

as compare with i10 & swift petrol  > my vote towards swift for better resell and less maintenance with big size car looks.  People are still crazy for Swift.  

Maruti exporting Swift in big numbers,  they introduced Ritz as eco model to sell in India.  

My farther is using Dzire Vxi and in 14 months it clocked 24K KM. when they brought it, I got a chance to drive and recently after 1 year i used and found no changes in comfort, means same as new one.

2nd car my brother took again Swift LDi, and it is also having same cool looks.

so once again discuss with your family member for option Swift & i10, what they select, you buy.  Don't force towards i10, let them to decide.

Swift Petrol generally available in 1 month of time. 

best of luck.

Go for Punto you will "love" the car.

even my vote is for Punto MJ, but "Prasanna" stick with i10.

I am also planning to change my recently brought WagonR with Punto MJ Active after taking TD. and planning for long business trips, but with WagonR it is not possible.

It is the best hatch presently available in diesel.

Hi Prasanna, why every people consider about resale, when you are going to buy new vehicle for the use of 4 to 5 years then why think about resale. You should go for only Punto Petrol /Diesel, Which is your coice.

Pros: Solid Hatch Back, Long Wheel Base, Italian Styling & VFM------k.k

guys guys guys let me take an effort to bring some sense into this whole ASS issue which some dont seem to get it right.

I ride an esteem which is 9 yrs old. Yeah a bit of rattling otherwise she is fine. Once in a while I rip her apart like anything going over rough roads with no mercy and she cries. A few months and she behaves like a stupid donkey. Then comes the Maruti Service => Tell all your worries pay some cash and wah my car is ready again as fresh as ever. Now thats the quality of maruti service I have seen over the past 10 yrs with my current 2nd owner esteem and my previous m800 5 speed. They INDEED do wonders.

Tata service, yeah now they have it everywhere but I have my uncle who owns a new Sumo DI  and another who owns an Indica. Both say it is the greatest mistake they made in their lives. Reason is ... a car may be good initially, thing that spoils the party is the attitude of the service people. Uncle says service guys are not even interested in bringing back a vehicle to normal UNLIKE ASS of maruti. Thats a huge HUUUUUUUUGE difference in attitude. Plus we have hell lots of mechanics who know right and left of maruti vehicles both be it ASS or local service station. Maruti mechanics all have one thing in common a caring heart for the car which I have seen is ABSENT in the case of TATA. So say Tata to Tata for time being UNTILL Mr.Ratan Tata himself intervenes and realises its not just about vehicle sales, we need QUALITY service and mechanics with gud attitude. Is Tata not paying them well? I wonder! People might be tempted to wonder why then laksh of Indica taxis rolled out => Go ask the cab drivers ---> Most of them give it for repairs and service in 'known' local workshops. Take my word on it. thats how that car went on. WE ordinary people cannot do it thats way.

Now the Punto. Yeah only mistake Fiat did was it tied up with .. oh ma god .. the disaster servicemen, the TATA. Otherwise guys punto is the best right now. But u just cant take a car going my initial performance. All of it ll be spolied in due course since ASS is gonnna be below par. I heard fiat has its own service section but still a rotten apple near, im sure ll spoil others too. and in remote areas there ll be no fiat people, just tata. And dont u guys see tata already competing hard with linea in the form of manza. so u expect them to give perfect service for a punto/linea. well... do think it over.

If its maruti, how the car is, ll remain for many years to come. Fiat, Tata the gurantee not quite there. if more and more people buy punto may be it ll 'turn out' better if fiat does give better service n/w in india.

dont u see 2002-2003 Palio 1.6 (the wonder car which beat a honda city in terms of perf) for a meagre 1 lakh! Atleast esteem is slightly better!

Dont go by intial power offered, build quality or anything. Swift has proved. It IS a gud car PLUS maruti ASS, it bcums perfect for a diesel engine. Ritz as well.

So my verdict is

1) Swift or Ritz if its ur hard earned money and u r a decent middle class man who expects decency out of ur car

2) punto if its ur dads money and u just wanna show off. and ur dad ll take care of the rest!

3) no TATA plzz.

Someon asked why People should consider resale => bcoz u r not gonna die in 5 yrs!

PS: ASS is the greatest thing in the hands of the customer. Do take adv of it. So go for Maruti/Hyundai.
