The esteem is based on a hatchback..essentially for use in cities. yes we indians use our cars to the max..take them to the highways..but they are not suitable for the bad roads of mera bharat mahaan. if you get a good deal on a bolero..take it. The bolero is far more safer, little more comfortable, economy should be more or less the same (if the esteem giving mileage in 14+ range and the bolero 10+ range), maintenance should also be the same (mahindras are not that expensive)..and its a big car, will seat 5 in a comfortable manner. esteem is too cramped for 4+ passengers. Definitely Bolero should be a better buy.l |
