Thanks Jatinder Ji.
i)I have not met personnely any GLX user. If you see the review dates, Most of negative reviews are of 2006. All petrol version were then having 1400 cc. It is my personnel view that 1.2 engine is more economical in City drive than 1.4, because optimum use of engine power is not possible in city drive where after every 400-500 metres one has to put brakes or shift to lower gears.
ii) Price mentioned is ex showroom price. It is arround 3.3 after putting all necessary addons.
iii)Palio has better outlook than Xeta. But Palio is sold very much less in numbers that means spares availability is doubtful and cost always be higher. While Xeta is almost identical to Indica diesal except Engine, and Indica Diesel is sold lakhs in number. Hence spares availability and cost will remain within the reach of common man. it is my presumptions. and Most Important factor played in this episode is the cost Factor. I saved arround 50K that will be suffcient for at least 3 year running of vehicle.
