Palio Stile sport
Chevrolet -UVA(LT)
Getz 1.3GLS
My requirements are -
1. 40km/day for commute to work in city traffic, occassional weekend long drives.
2. Reliabitlity, good handling and stability
3. Intend to keep it for long term, so not particular about resale value.
4. A good surge in the pedal will be nice to have.
Having said the above I will use my bike as often and I might not take the car out for work everyday since the traffic here is just hopeless and I don't tolerate jams.
The latest news is that Chevrolet is offering a 3yrs free service for all vehicles bought before 31st march which makes it tempting and their cost of ownership is a good argument too. But again I am confused when I consider the Palio 1.3MJD which is about to be released (will it any time soon?).
Swift is out of the way since I personally don't like its looks though it being a great car.
My budget is about 5Lakhs and with Palio I will certainly be saving a chunk of cash.
Let me know your thoughts on this?

i am tempted to assume the "good surge " factor is last on ur priority...
i think u should go for the UVA..
its a good car with
- space - very useful if u have a family
- enuf power for the city - mind u all though u dont get the surge, its not a slouch either
-low on maintenance post GM's attractive package
i dont think a diesel makes sense for ur running..
i think the LS version comes within ur budget on road..
