Hey Esteem Lover,

You initially said that the Wagon R is more reliable than the Bolero.
You also mention that the fancy saloons will take you to the garage more frequently than the Bolero. Is there an inconsistency here, or are you suggesting that the Wagon R is even more reliable than the fancy saloons. (Baleno/Accent)

I have heard several people say that a diesel vehicle is more troublesome than a petrol engine. However, others say that this does not apply to new generation diesels. Can the bolero power train be considered a new generation diesel? Can it prove troublesome?

My main concern about the Bolero was being able to resell it again when necessary.

I am quite diligent about regular maintennance.
The worst problem I could have with a car is having a break-down, coz. I live in the desolate outskirts of the city (beyond whitefield), where it will be very difficult to get help in the event of a break down.

Kutlee,

If I buy a accent/ baleno or Wagon R, I might not need to dispose it after a year, coz I could entrust it to my parents (who incidentally are horrified about a Jeep :-))

The baleno/Accent seem to be very VFM, coz. a 5 year old vehicle seems to cost about 2.7 to 3.1 lacs (as per carwale).

iragahava,

Monthly running would be around 900 km.
I thought an LPG conversion would cost around 22k.

Also plan to take some driving holidays this year, but don't know how feasible that would be with a baby.

Chanapli,

The heart says Jeep, the head seems doubtful about it. :-)

Crazy Driver,

Why is the Baleno considered better the Accent? From what i researched, the Accent has DOHC while the Baleno has SOHC. Also one Accent model has ABS. Cant determine whether the Baleno has ABS. Also are the FE of both cars comaparable?
