Technically i10 is best out of the lot u have chosen, however As u donot drive then getz or vista shld satisfy your need---

Getz- My cousine has a 2007 Getz and trust me it is quite spacious at the rear and the suspension quality is also gud, The ride is smooth

Vista - I personally dont like the exterior looks of the vista, However it has an amaizing interiors. The Bieg interiors makes the car look spacious at the same time the leg-room is probably the Higest in the segment!

If you can streach you budget, Accent will satify all your needs, space n looks with boot and a good reliable car.

As u mentioned that you are a music lover, u can upgarde us music system later

Ami - hope I dont annoy you all the time. Foot in mouth



Not this time

Posted by Mahesh


but my opinion about the suggestion is if someone provides the option, like in this case he's clear to but on amongst those 5 option, we/I should suggest from those option and not some other vehicle.



First things first. My post was actually adressed to Subir and it was a clarification to my post.
In my opinion, every post of mine is a suggestion. Most of the people are not aware of many things. So If I am to make a suggestion it should be in the best interest. Keeping all points in mind I started with 'I would re-work the shortlist to i10 Magna 1.2 & Vista Saffire'. Vista was a car that was not part of the list. However it was a car that satisfies his conditions.
I suggest things keeping one thing in mind 'suggest the best you know, it is for the asker to consider'

PS: Please dont take it personal. Please

First I'd like to thank you all for your valuable suggestions!

Well what I found is that most of you have suggested Vista Safire Aura and Getz Prime as the best options available for me.

i10 Kappa is the best car in "A segment" for its powerful engine, looks and FE. If it really has the rear legroom I'm looking for, it'd be mine Smile and I need to book a TD to check that out Wink. Otherwise, Getz would be my next choice.

Personally I'm not a big fan of Tata Motors, especially their service part. What I have 'heard' so far is that they are the 'worst' at customer services - whereas Hyundai is the second best from customer service point of view (just next to Maruti). Please correct me if I'm wrong. [It'd be great if somebody could throw some light on their Kolkata customer service centers - how good/bad they are]

Ayan, Yes, have a TD with family both i-10 & Getz Prime and choose which satisfies you the most.

btw, I don't have any previous experience with the service of Tata Motors. With my little experience in the last 3 months, they are very good. Especially with Vista, they are taking extra care with regular calls & feedback.

You are correct with respect to service. However I would request you to read this.

i10 Kappa is currently the most preferred car - very good performance, interiors/features & also has decent space/comfort.  A test-drive (with family) will definitely help you.

In case, you don't find it comfortable, I would recommend Vista (though not short-listed by you) ahead of Getz.

Maruti & Hyundai are the best in extending service etc. but Tata isn't far behind - anymore. Please read through this review of Venugopalan.

Anyway, if need be, I suggest take a test-drive of Getz & Vista - both - before you decide.

Sorry Ami, I didn't notice your post while I was typing/posting mine.

@Ayan - Tata now offers good service and take my word buddy - you'll not go wrong with Hyundai.

i10 Kappa has a good interiors and engine compared to Getz which wins in the space aspect.

All the best and keep us posted what your decision was.




Some people drive to get to their destination. Others drive Getz CRDi

I didn't see Venu's post. This was addressed to Ayan.

Dont go for i10 if you dont drive. At back seat it will be cramp for a tall man. All A segment cars (i10, A star, Alto, Spark etc.) are best for self driven. Moreover at price of i10 you get B segment cars like Swift, Vista and Getz. Swift is also for self driven because of cramped rear seat. Then choice is between Getz and Vista. Vista has a amazing rear space. It is not only best among B segment but also much more than many C segment car like (Accent, Dzire, Ikon, Verna etc.). Also Vista is more modern as mentioned by Ami. Getz on the otherhand will have better Hyundai service.

Oh, sorry I missed that the car is to be chaffeur driven.  In that case, I second Subir's view - i10 should not be preferred. Choose between Vista & Getz (only) for the reasons explained. 

As stated before, test-drive/use & decide.
