Good Car - VFM

I test drove the Logan. Had been contemplating buying a diesel car for a lng time..had finally made up my mind to buy the Verna - Diesel but decided to wait for the Logan.

After the test drive, i've gone ahead and booked the logan. Why ???

1. Good price point. The top end is cheaper than a Verna- BBay by a good 1 lakh.

2. Roomier than most of the car. Altho I think that the Indigo is equally roomy.

3. Quality of drive : Better than an Indigo. Comparable to a ford Fiesta, however the Verna is miles apart (better). The  engine is pretty good and did not feel like I was driving a diesel car.

As a car, the Verna has a better engine (BHP : 110 vs 65 for Logan) however, the overall package is more appealling in the logan. The ride quality is good and its more value for money.

Again I'm a city driver and for me factors like room, fuel efficiency and boot space are more relevant than sheer power. The logan also offer good addons like the air bag for driver side.

On the downside : stupid cost saving issues like , the boot can be opened only with the key..no remote boot opening. Mirrors are not electronically operated. They've minimised the power window keys. Also they're not ergonomically placed. The indicator and the wiper are like European cars - Ulta ...so it'll take time getting used to it.

However since the car satisfies most of my criterias...and am willing to compromise of the few negatives mentioned above.... So if you're looking the buy the Indigo-Diesel or the ford fiesta - Logan is a better bet.
