Im planning to go for a car . mostly single Driven at times 2 or 3 would travel. monthly 400-500 KMs in city & about 300-450 in hiways. mixed 900-1000km per month.
looking for COMFORTABLE drive mainly w/o any body or back ache / good mileage /easy maintenance .
New ALTO LX seems to be available for about about 2.85 for LAC - after maruti offer ( is LXi must for my requirements which is around 3.05lak ) .Reg ALTO im concerned about its report on avg AC & not moving easily in HILLY places when AC is on..but nice to know about its mileage 13-14 city .option 2- Used ZEN LX , LXis ( like 2001 2002 or 2003 available between 1.5 to 2.25 ) is good in PICK UP but the reports about its mileage are very much varied ( 10 11 12 in city ) and seating is not as good as ALTO which i think may be bit stressful for long journey.
so looking for BHPians opinion & suggestions. one more point im not very keen to keep this vehice 1 OR 1 and a half year unless the VEHICLE makes me to keep it meaning if it is TOO GOOD to me .
If ALTO gest Better recommendation i MAY go for USED ..in case if it would serve my purpose. TIA
