Why do you folks recommend SX4 to him when he can buy swift and be happy with it and save the extra 3-4 L investment upfront and additional cash for recurring expenses. Swift is cheaper to run and maintain.

Safety is in the person behind the wheels and not in the car. Lady Diana was in the most safest car and still she died in the accident. Again I am not saying ignore safety requirements but one needs to do a trade off on cost v/s benefits. People do buy and travel in Bikes which we all know is much more an unsafe vehicle than any basic car. People are buying NANO in big numbers. Do you think they are all fools and they deserve only Bicycles. THINK AGAIN.
I completely agree with DiselFan. It is not necessary that one will always be safe in a car equipped with ABS, Airbag etc. Eveything depends on how you drive. Someone suggested Ambi for the guy, sorry to defend, but Ambi has “the strongest” body compared to any car available in the market today.
