Hi Guys, Please Help me Find a Match ! oops a Car

[Nitinz]

Hi Everyone

Instead of deciding on a particular segment , i have shortlisted 3 cars based on Price Range

1. TOYOTA INNOVA DIESEL

2. HONDA CITY GXI

3. FORD FIESTA DIESEL

Budget Max 8.5 Lakhs

Driving : Mix of City and Highway with an average of 70-80 Kms per Day

Mostly self driven , partially chauffer driven

my view (current)

INNOVA : Great car but bulky and problems with exhaust / maintenance issues

HONDACITY : Petrol and hence more expensive to run


FIESTA : DIESEL BUT FORD ( HIGH Maintenance and Poor Service)

Please give me your suggestions to help me decide

Thanks

Nitin

As your running is on higher side I suggest you should stick with diesel.

As for between Innova and Fiesta, it depends on what you want.
If you want a big car (for family outings) then go for Innova.

Any particular reason to stick with only these three cars ?
Why not look for Accent ? With Hyundai's widespread network you will have better support.

i'd say get the fiesta....its a great engine..very refined ( for a diesel) and good fe

hi thanks for the reply

We had previously owned Santro and did not had a very good experience with Hyundai Service and particularly was not impressed with Santro's Body. We are a Family of Eight Hence probably Innova for Family outings should be good but i am scared about Innova 's size and parking issues in our City (Delhi-Gurgaon)

hey man i have a innova , no issues at all. service to, when i got m 1st one done was 500 rs or so. the car is good, and is giving me 12 kmpl in the city constantly with the ac on. though parking might be a problem in small places like old delhi. i dont think in the better parts or malls it should have any kind of problems as there is ample of space.

What about Safari DICOR???

[fb1]

dude what about Accent CRDI with pete's tuning chip... will rock

[devarshi84]

For a family of 8 with a mileage od 70-80km daily you need a UV definitely.

Look at

Chevrolet Tavera NEO Diesel
Scorpio CRDe
Tata safari 4x2 Ex DICOR BS3
Toyota G1 Diesel
Maruti Versa (just because its a maruti)


I would suggest mahindra Scorpio CRDe as personal favouraite.

As a VFM Chevy Tavera and Toyota Innova make sense. Both have a good dealer network and both are good cars.

As a luxury I would look at tata safari.


All lie within your budget of 8.5.

Nitinz,

If going out with a family is a rare event, Fiesta would make more sense otherwise Innova.

However I was wondering if you could elaborate on the exhaust/maintenance issues.

[Nitinz]

Hi guys thanks a lot again

Few of Innova Owners have told me about lot of Black Fumes from The Exhaust, hence a little apprehension. I already own Tata Indigo LX, which i have driven from nearly 89000 Km in 2 and Half years and have spent a lot on maintenance. hence going for another Tata vehicle even if Dicor , scares me .

further Tavera is a good option but given a choice i would prefer Innova.

Now I have shortlisted Innova and Fiesta.

We do as a family have on an average 1 family outing a week , then we have to take 2 cars. so i was thinking on saving on it .

Cheers

Nitin

i think innova is the vehicle for u due to the family outing

[Steeroid]

You need an Innova. Go get one.

[devarshi84]

How about the scorpio?

between the Innova and fiesta. You surely do need an Innova.

I've never seen an INNOVA emitting smoke!! Even the callcenter innovas that i've seen running around creating havoc, never saw smoke coming out of their exhaust.

U shud try out the innova, delhi roads are among the best in the country purrfecto for a big vehicle like innova.

HI Guys


I test drove Fiesta yesterday , was amazed by the difference (I currently drive an INDIGO) and was truly impressed by the small drive the salesman offered me. only flaw that i could find was it did not look a proper sedan, just a compact car.

Innova on the other hand, i was looking at G4 , is slightly pricey and if i have to buy it on company account , will be registered as semi-commercial making it a yearly hassle for me.

at this point of time i am favouring the Fiesta

Thanks everyone

Regards

Nitin
