Dude, I dunno the reasons for your going back but I am waiting for that golden oppotunity too. I find India to be a heaven which I was a fool to leave. I swear that lifes best in India. east or West India is the best. Congrats on returning back.

cars in 7lacs.

chevrolet optra 1.6:- good buy and value for money. you get lots of kit and biggers size. brand certainly not as powerful)

palio 1.6 sport :- complete thumbs down on the brand but you wont resent your acura here. petra is the sedan for your family and adventure sport if you like lond trips.

fod fiesta:- Ikon1.6 certainly is magic but fiesta is better value for money. Is the newest car currently and look like it's here to stay for a long time.

honda city:- I personally wouldnt pay a premium Honda commands in India but NHC is comfortable and gives good mileage. May fall on the higher side of 7 though.

maruti swift:- the fuly loaded hot hatch thats driving the Indian market so swiftly. Just one word good car with adequate power and good safety features.

maruti baleno: auto a/c 94blazingly fast bhp's good FE and comfortable with that maruti name on the bonnet. looks are too old now and is not as strong as a lancer or a NHC

mitsubishi lancer:- the recent price revisions make it a good buy. good FE, handling nad image charred by soft rear seat ride and paper specs(87 super fast bhp's) may fall on the the higher side of 7 though and you dont get much kit.

tata indigo:- the best value for money you can get in India. cheap, reliable, frugal and comfortable. Refinement is bad and occasional blips reminds that its a tata. certainly a good buy for a family car.



for driving performance and entertainment look at a palio, baleno, lancer and swift in that order.

For a family car look at fiesta,optra, indigo, NHC in that order

For an allround car look at Swift,baleno or lancer(tie) in that order.
