hi Dr.Aksrivastav... well...@ 100 kms u really wont be spending nethin as maintainence...(except for the regular servicings)... so i think u shud go 4 d Aveo.... and incase of the WagonR...go for Vxi (only available in petrol )..which is the top model of this car. i wud never recomend WagonR duo to u because,u're monthly running is only 100 kms. which means 3.3 kms per day.... so at 3.3 kms a day,u'll never be able to enjoy the benefit of LPG !... n ofcourse at runnin below 5 kms a day,fuel prices wil HARDLY make much difference to u. cheers.

I am also looking at these options particularly between U-VA and Getz. If we go for Getz then whether 1.1 or 1.3. My running is not much. My major constraint is dimensions should be not more than as U-VA or Getz. Need this segment car which looks good. I have my 5 years old Zen which is good and now time to upgrade. Thanks S. M.

i had a similar doubt few months back.

have decided to go in for fiat palio1.1 reosons:

Since I intend to keep the car for more tna 5-6 yrs resale was never a factor


 

Swift: was maruti and a good drive. This was the most difficult to leave out! Resons to leave it out:  had a very bad shape, protruded from outside (which makes driving in narrow lanes difficult), and congested from inside, (which makes rear sitting difficult).


 

Aveo-Uva : I loved the car, was beautifully designed. However there was only 1 dealer in Lucknow and that too was not very well spoken of, so after sales will always be a problem. Alo according to me it was overprised for a chevy in India and 1148(not exactly 1.2 as they advertise) engine.


 

Getz 1.3 above my budget. Getz1.1:


 

Quite similar to the new palio. Similar shape, equitant power, similar average. <

however it was 4o k more tna a palio!

Now coming to the reasons for choosing a palio:


 

I have test driven it atleast 3-4 times each time ~ 10kms. What I found.:


 

Confortable drive, good front seat and rear seat comfort, power although less than swift but equivalent to getz and uva. Excellent looks, gives the look of a big car. Useful features like double seat folding 3 step, door opening.


 

But the most important reason: VALUE FOR MONEY!:On road price of a Fiat palio 1.1SLE with front power windows, central locking, fog lamps, is around 4 lacks. After this there is a discount of 13 k and an excange bonus of 10 k. so it comes to only 377000. and also they will exchange my old maruti 800. so I will get that price also.


 

Also the A.s.s. of fiat is no longer a problem with tata coming up big time! So the servise provided will be better than GM however lesser than Hyundai and maruti if any!


 

In short in the price of a santro, I am getting a bigge<

sorry to spell ur name incorrectly..... Mr Chandak, lets take ur points one by one--- 1.Good luck--umm..i believe all cars wud carry the luck that u've got !.... so lets be an optimist..... i m sure all cars wud be lucky ! better category----- the cars in ur preferred segment,wud be at par wid each other..... but yes der r differeences here n there. feel good factor----Yes totally ! i'd say identical in this segment !... 1 car in this segment is a BESTSELLER,the otherone a POWER generator,n last but not the least the LAST one is a car frm GM !!..need i say more !!.. Features----- yes Power steering n central locking is STANDARD in these cars....for power windows...one above the basic model wud hav this feature. FOr MP3 player,u'd have to go 4 the top-end model....but better than that..u get get it installed urself..... cuz its not always consedered as a "feature"....
