Endless, thanks for sharing the info - keep doing that endlessly

thnks Pankaj

Ami,

The thread started by Endless has been merged in to this thread based on your post - thanks for pointing out.  But unfortunately / inadvertently your post got deleted.  I'm so sorry for that.

You had also thanked Endless for the info he has shared herein above (specifications).

So all the big guys are here, just wait for another month and the much awaited Grande Punto will be in battle too.

its getting really interesting, best players from best makers!!!

Previously I had registered my interest on official Honda Jazz website – Based on that yesterday I received a call from Honda dealer in Bangalore – As per the conversation with him, I got to know that

·          Jazz will be in showroom on 10^th June

·          Bookings are now open and one needs to pay INR. 50,000/- to book the vehicle.

·          Price is still not announced – He has indicated on road price of 7 to 7.25 lakh (Ex show room price of 6.25 to 6.5 lakh)

·          Delivery will be definitely in June if booked before 31^st May.

·          Waiting period for Black and white colour will be more than a month.

So the price details are almost clear now – Is it worth is a question mark. What do you say?

I have delayed my car purchase and am waiting for Jazz’s specification and price details before taking final call. My requirement from my new car is

·          Petrol only as my usage is limited –(around 500 KM a month – mostly in city)

·          Family of 3 (including my girl child)   – and occasional use of rear seats

·          Total Budget of 6.5 lakh ( so Honda Jazz will be bit of a stretch)

·          Good mileage, hassle free service and low maintenance.

·          I will be using the vehicle for more than 5 years.

If not Honda Jazz, I am planning to go for Hyundai Ascent or Ford Fiesta. Looking forward for your expert advice.
