Hi Guys,

Please help me decide on the 1st car i should buy. I have looked at the following

  1. Santro
  2. i10
  3. Wagaon R

The various points that i would like to consider for making a decision

  1. Space
  2. Comfort
  3. Mileage
  4. Maintenance Cost

My budget is around 4.5 lacs.

 

Please help me decide

Thanks

Parth

hi Parth ,  ithink earlier you had asked a querry , ok now for this querry i feel you shud go for the hyundai i10 with 1.2 engine that is i10 1.2 Magna varaint , i think it comes around 4.65 - 4.70 on raod , but tell you waht the extra bucks for 20k rs more than your budget will be worth , the engine is fuel efficient and also powerful! the space, comfort, milage and maintenence cost of the i10 is decent , also try to get a good offer from the hyundai dealers , ask both the dealers for what offers they give  and book the car of who gives highest discount or offer!

Yes, I had kind of finalised swift but earlier today i checked the car and was not happy with the back seat space also being a 1st time driver i was a bit reluctant thinking of scratches etc

Yes I am happy about it, the only thing that concerns me is that is it VFM ?

Magna vosting arounf 4.6-4.7 in Bangalore

And WagonR VXi costing 4.05 lacs

Is the extra 55-60 k worth spending ?

Parth, On the one hand you are counting VFM, and another hand not even thinking about VFM... Chevrolet Spark LT, one of the best small car with total package ... VFM!

 

Hyundai i10, 1.2l kappa!!!, 55-60k more but still there is one feel good factor... that is ... you are buying a car with 1.2l engine. Mileage you will get almost similar.
