why not buy hyundai sonata transform AT price 14.5 lac instead of civic AT

i am planning to buy a car price range of 15 lac this week itself, i am concern that why i should not buy hyundai sonata transform AT which is just 14.5 lac instead of civic VAT which is about same cost, when i compare both car sonata is far better then civic, i am afraid that why i cant see any sonata running in city, guys i need your help

I wish more people ask this question - at the price its selling at the Sonata offers astounding VFM besides having a lot more of everything else (power, space, comfort, refinement & service backup).

I've always said the Sonata is a well hidden secret.  Trouble is that some people prefer a badge over common sense and everything else.

If I were in the market for a vehicle in that price bracket, I'd buy the Sonata blindfolded.  It is an extremely well made car.

Am i takin this thread OT by saying that Jetta and laura can be considered here than Sonata and Civic only.

I never felt CIVIC to be as luxurious and comfortable to other cars in the same price tag as CIVIC.

altis can also be considered as it is better than civic.

Hi,

Honda civic is still the best in segment, or you can also look at new high gadgetry car -the cruze!!

Most important thing for a buyer in India who is spending almost 15 lacs is brand &  Hyundai is not that big brand for whom one can spend 15 lacs . That is the main reason why Sonata is not selling well which is infact rival to Accord & Laura . Sonata has failed to create status symbol which is the most important thing for this class of buyers.

You can go for Laura which is much better also. Cruze is new entry and also VFM but it is really short on interior space compare to Laura.

thanks ashish, i want to consider only top modelof any car in which laura is above 17 lac, so i think civic is ok to me

@ Nitya , I think you are comparing Laura Diesel with Civic. Laura 1.8 TSI is petrol & price is infact similar to Civic . Same engine is doing duty in Superb also. Laura is much better than Civic . Only thing you have to consider is ASS in your city as Skoda has got very bad reputation for that. Otherwise Laura is much better. You can compare both & TD it before making final decision.

Nitya just check out the Hyundai Sonata's facelifted version in this months AUTOCAR,to be launched in 2010.

It surely is hot.

But priced 18 lakhs ex showroom.

nitya just TD the both and go for the one in which you feel better.

think of the cruze too.its good car.please mention your requirements , daily usage so as to narrow your research.
