Hii,

Planning to get a new car in a weeks time at max.will be driving 75% in the city and 25% in highway.monthly running will be 700-800 Km maximum and few long trips in 2-3 month.i have been planning since last fortnight and after reading all the reviews and long term reports here in T-BHP have decided to go for one of the options.

things which i am looking for:-
1)- Space,especially legroom in the back seat as my dad going to sit and he is 6'1.
2)- boot space not that important.
3)- No bumpy ride,joy to drive,good ride quality etc.
4)- as i said 700-800 Km monthly running at most.
5)- Decent fuel efficiency thats why was looking for VDI but i know with just 700-800 km monthly running its not recommended after going through all the post here in T-BHP.but then i have read getz 1.3 dont have a very good FE-8/9 km/ltr??
6)- will be using this car for atleast 4 years so resale is not an issue,but then as people saying i20 is about to launch and getz mite be discontinued so little scared.dont want a car which ill be keeping for years getting discontinued after 6-8 months from the purchase date.
7)- Which car is better in bad roads?becuase we go to our farm often and roads pathetic?

Getz GLX is for 5.68 L (-)17k for insurance which is free,5k off in this model,and few accesaries=arnd 5.4 Lakh onroad.Raipur (C.G) (need to order and will get within 7-10 days time.

^^today only i Tdrove 1.3 GLX and was very impressed with it overall,very spacious,awesome gearshift,smooth and silent etc and best part is it has a ABS,Alloy wheels

.I find getz better then swift.will go for either white or silver colour if in case finalise this car.by the way what is the difference between space silver and bright silver?

Swift VDI is for 5.60 onroad.Raipur (C.G) no discount,no accesaries nothing.and no ABS,Alloy wheels.but this car is readily available as dealer is my dads friend,model with ABS will take atleast 2 to 3 months from now and cant wait that long.for us worst part is its legroom.else we can live with it for any other problem.

may be i messed up little with my post,slowly but surely will imporve on that from next time.

Waiting for the suggesions from experts/guru's here in T-Bhp.

Thanks in advance.
