requirements would be that it gives a decent mileage, spacious and less hassle where maintenance and after sales is concerned. i travel all the time, so would be driving at least 35kms for 15days of the month. also, where the price is concerned i want it to be within 5.3including loan and insurance and additional.

seems your run would be under 1000km/month for sure.

go with a petrol car, prefreably i 10 or Beat . both will come under your budget & maintenance will not be a problem.

since you live in Mumbai both Chevy & Hyndai have service centres & Chevy is also offerring 3 yrs free maintenance.

Test drive both the cars. My personal choice will be Beat , simply because it offers more VFM & i 10 is more common on road !!

Good Luck

Go with Figo only if you want a diesel. figo petrol is not very successful.

Wait for the new i 10 & Swift to get launched & then you can decide !!

Hello Priyanka,

You can check out Beat LT. If you have a tall stature, you won't have the front visibility problem, and IMHO ladies feel that BEAT is a CUTE CAR.

The other option would be the new i10.

Stay away from i20, Ritz and Swift. Many ladies prefer Beat and i10.

Guys prefer Ritz, Swift and i20. Just my personal opinion. No pun intended.

Go with i10 or Beat.... Hyundai will have more service centers than Chevy....Check for the rear space in Beat else its a good car to drive.....i10 is the best city car and preferred by Ladies a lot.

Check out for offers also provided by the dealers.....Negotiate on discounts and get a test drive of both.

OK! Does anyone have idea about the new i10? when is it going to be launched? And what could be the price? I shall check out the beat soon. So as of now it is a strict "no" for figo ?

New i 10 is coming on 23rd of sept. Just a few days left.

Rule out Figo. i 10 & Beat should serve your purpose.
