If initial cost is not a concern to you then it is better to wait for the Fiat 1.3MJD. As per ET it is supposed to be launched in feb 08. Regarding more cost for maintence cost was true for older gen diesel engines but the newer CRDI engines are as reliable as the petrol ones.
As you will be doing even highway run have a look at the Getz 1.3 instead of 1.1. |
