'My choice of car' in B segment (< INR 4.5L) - Page 3 - Team-BHP

narayan · 30th July 2007, 12:09

voted for chevy spark - looks really really good in flesh and is a welcome change in the segment...

additionally of course, its been reviewed as good on performance and mileage...

basilmabraham · 30th July 2007, 12:24

Voted for the Spark...looks too good..great FE..decent ride and build quality...

Hoping to own one in a few months time...

neoonwheels · 30th July 2007, 12:27

If we see, Palio Stile is wellcompeting with other cars according to the many BHPians.. but then still Palio stile sales is struggling.. But good to know at least ppl on board are finding it a bit good to compete with segment leaders..

kpbhatt · 30th July 2007, 12:32

i voted for the Palio Stile 1.1 -- it is more car for the same price and its bigger and better in terms of user value when compared with the rest of them

soumya · 30th July 2007, 13:22

I voted for the chevy spark because it's much better in most of the aspects than it's ''ONLY'' competitor in the segment, Santro, except for the boot space and A.S.S.

zoom2_ash · 30th July 2007, 13:24

For me, its a call between santro and spark and its really tough one. We are using Santro for past couple of years, it has been very good so far. Test drove spark few days back and liked the car. Voted for spark just because its new and has better ride quality then Santro otherwise its very close.

benbsb29 · 30th July 2007, 15:19

I am not surprised to see no takers for the Estilo.

typeOnegative · 30th July 2007, 15:22

I would not choose any of the cars mentioned above. No, not even the Stile. If it was for my wife, then anyone would do. Not the Estilo though. Yuck.

moralfibre · 30th July 2007, 15:26

I'd choose the Xeta for the space it offers and relatively good at customer service. Read service as: "Replace parts in warranty without asking questions"

Done, Sathya.

By the way I was wondering why Maruti Alto does not figure in this list. Seems like inspite of all the platitudes car mags actually give it a miss while listing the B segment cars.

radek · 30th July 2007, 15:46

voted for Spark. Not just voted, but gone and bought one too

Hyndai Santro - The Sunshine Car always.

Reasons - Peppy Engine,Good Interiors ( Like the dull grey ones),Good mileage,Spacious and a affordable hatch for everyday city commute,Trsuted and tried for nearly 8 years on indian roads and after all,very good A.S.S

Ajay_J · 30th July 2007, 17:27

XETA for me. A VFM car.

Undoubtedly the Spark.....I loved her road manners. Even with that puny engine, it was a hoot to drive.

mohit333 · 30th July 2007, 18:48

Well Id like to go in for the Palio Stile 1.1 (the 16V version..whenever it come out). Love the build quality and now with better FE, its all the more tempting. An excellent highway cruiser, rock solid and built to last forever.
