This is my first post since i am confused on which car to buy.
I have never driven any & enrolled today for driving classes & need to buy the car before
Diwali.
I have shortlisted Wagon R & Swift VXi
Here the issue i need help from u guys
Wagon R
1. I hear that its a dated model & may be phased out, i need a car for atleast 5 years & should look contemporary after 5 yrs too?
2. I am inclined towards duo but is it safe option assuming theres a collision on the backside?
3. Also how does the performance of only petrol model & duo campare, whats the per Km running cost for petrol & gas, did anybody face any problems with duo?
4.What about ABS , is it a must for noobs , i am not sure its available with duo?
Swift Vxi
1.Most ppl tell me its not suitable for noobs, is it driver fiendly car or demands some expertise?
2.Is swift maintenance costlier then wagon R, does te car ask for lot of maintennace related expenses?
3. I do want to take my car for occasional long trips, which car is better for seating 4 ppl?

Although going by looks i am more inclined towards swift
Need expert help
Thanks
Rakesh
