    DRIVING:
    I have bought an i10 car (my first) My expectations from the car: - Suitable for family of 3 (me, wife and infant kid) with parents visiting occassionally, so 4.5 people at most - Mostly for city driving with me and wife both being office going - Good looks & Contemporary technology - Decent Mileage / Low maintenance - Budget - 4.75L - 5 Lacs at most To start with diesel car was ruled out as my running would be fairly limited. (Diesel car becomes economic when you have around 20K kms run a year) Started by checking out Maruti cars at Sai service showroom at Andheri, Mumbai. A Star: (4.34 ex showroom for Lxi) Pro - Feature packed car Con - Hardly any boot space / rear seat cramped / low seated driving Ruled it out for lack of space Wagon R: (approx 4L ex showroom for mid version ) Pro - nice car, spacious, low price Con - Old engine / technology, Box design, taxi registration Ruled out for design & old technology Swift : (approx 4.7L ex showroom for base version) Pro: sporty looks, successful and established model, driving pleasure Con: Expensive !!, Low mileage ~10-11 kmpl (being 1300 CC car) Considered seriously though finally ruled out as both entry cost & running cost (coz of low mileage) were pretty high Ritz: Checked it out internet even before release (internationally its splash).. its a good car but was going beyond budget (5L plus on road in mumbai) Then went to A1 Hyundai Showroom at Saki naka, Andheri Mumbai Getz prime: (approx 4.4L ex showroom for base version) Pro: Super interiors (almost sedan like), very spacious and comfortable, Classic looks Con: Old technology, Production halted (as I was told by sales man), Low mileage Considered though Ruled out for outdated aspect i10 Magna: (4.14L ex showroom 4.48L on road price... on this got a deal for govt employees discount of 21K, booked in dad's name to avail the same... overall got it at 4.26L on road w/o accessories) Pro : fairly spacious, hip looks, kappa engine, 13-14 kmpl mileage despite of 1.2 L engine, got a good deal Con : hardly any Choose to go for it for a good deal, looks and decent mileage _______________ This website and forums helped me decide.. Thanks for that... I thought I owe a review _______________ NOTE ON DEALERS - Sai service (Andheri) is a good dealer, prompt response, upfront about price and any other information. Overall I would recommend that dealer A1 Hyundai - Pathetic ! Salesman are not trained. Irresponsible. Pre sales , they would call often. Post sales they just disappear. They did not even take my calls. Delayed the delivery by a good week (its still not delivered). I was promised certain prices & discount on accessories before buying which they turned back on later... and there are various other issues. A strong NO recommendation from my side for the dealer. ______________ Hope this helpsLooks, nice interiors & dashboard, fairly spaciousbody colors,
