Same way if a car is giving/rumoured to give below average mileage, rest of the things are ignored and people blindly avoid it.
eg: Palio, Getz
I am not saying mileage is the only factor people consider while buying a car, but for many people that is a major aspect and they are not bothered to find out other details of the car. |
True. Indians think frugal. Just as maintenance costs matter, fuel consumption also matters. The NHC IDSI was marketed heavily using its mileage. I think its a personal preference. Every one has their own priorities. Me and my friend are buying a new car. I am inclined heavily towards the skoda because I enjoy driving the car. My friend on the other hand has already booked the Civic even though he agrees that the Skoda was fun to drive. I can be expected to defend my decision by its merits. And my friend the same. Bottom line is that civic worked out better for his preference. Skoda works out better for mine.
