Actually I was going to buy Fiesta (doubtful about its service network, Verna I cant afford) and was almost decided but heard that Renault is launching Logan next month and trust me I dont consider Logan due to Mahindra, its only and only due to Renault. If you see European Logan forums you will find people crazy about this car and its performance.
21 days waiting is nothing if you compare a 3 month waiting in some EU countries. Also Mahindra never promoted Logan as cheap car, infact they just said "Wide Body Car" a budget one. The problem is our mind because we generally treat car by our status symbol and wealth. Most of the time we buy car by looks & Manufacturer's trust (for home use) and not by its performance and use. This is the only cause why Maruti is still able to sell most number of cars. Although I treat Maruti cars as taking benefit of their trust factor not performance.
Regarding not buying Tata's cars, can be guessed by anyone, their engine is still not upto the mark and looses everything beyond 80 to 90k (see what peter says about Tata cars). Their trademark rear wheel problem still continues. /-----\. The fitments they are offering (LCD etc) can be easily done at very reasonable price. My fundamental of buying a car is "Dont see which you can replace or get fitted through market, see what you cant replace like its engine, axle, balance, handling etc."
Also regarding FE I am also amazed with its performance which I didnt expect ( I can show you on board comp. photo). But some of my EU freinds told me that its engine improves after 6000 - 9000 kms and gets more smoother later (but make sure you drive atleast 15k a year). |
