I10 - Family Car

I have been reviewing small family cars with the latest in technology. I discarded Santro, Maruti Wagon-R, Maruti - 800, Alto etc. If I wanted to keep a car for the next 6-8 years, I wanted to look at cars with the latest in technology, value of reselling in another 3 years and so on.

So the final list was Chevrolet Spark, Hyundai-i10 & Maruti A-Star.
A-Star is good and competitive with the other two, but where it falls below is rear space and boot space. Being a family that travels a little outside city, A-Star did not seem the right choice. Also, driving comfort for my dad (65 years old) would have been tough with the drivers seat placed below and drivers view restricted. So A-Star was out of the picture.

Chevrolet Spark & i-10 were the final contenders. Spark was a beauty to drive and had the most silent engine. What finally tilted in favor of i-10 was Hyundai service and negative points to General Motors with their economy taking a hit. Also, I was unsure about spare cost, service availability etc.

So, yes, I have finally decided to go with Hyundai-i10. Hyundai has been the next entrant after Maruti and my friends, relatives have had a decent feedback about Hyundai.
