@ GTO- Just a thought, why would you go in for the civic at 6 when you can get a lancer and drop in a mivec at the same price!? |

+1 for the Ford Fusion. Not coz i recently acquired used Fusion, but just think it fits the bill perfectly. With 100+ BHP, a fully loaded version with ABS is easily available under 3L in Bombay. Loads of space, fairly responsive engine, great handling (of course at the cost of ride quality) and a distinctive look. If you can manage the maintenance costs - this could be on the list as well. Some related links http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/indian...its-prime.html https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/hatch...ed-fusion.html http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/long-t...42-500-km.html http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/test-d...-duratorq.html http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/long-t...-till-55k.html Not very surprising for me, but the Fusion garnered a fairly respectable 21% in an opinion poll (the first link) when compared to current year hot-hatches. A close third position in the list. Not bad for a car retailing at dirt cheap prices in the secondhand market. |

+1 ^^ doesn't the fusion come with the same engine that does duty in fiesta 1.6 ? then it must be a hoot to drive considering that fiesta is a driver's car! |

GTO! We have completely forgotten about the classic Ford Escort 1.6 Zetec! 92 horses, 1.6 liter 16v (?). It flies despite the bulk it lugs around. And with the right modifications (read, Cossie :D) It can beat most Indian cars hollow! |

Guess anyone can answer this saving GTO some more time for even better test drives. Here it goes. factory reliability (fill fuel and drive, just nothing else) once a year garage visits only no mosquito infested nights no annoying rattling, vibrations, breakdowns a workhorse that can bring smile everyday and not just when days are good. Looks, nothing beats the JDM Civic's looks currently in the market. Literally nothing. |
But I think he would rather go for something like a M3 or similar which are great in stock form than a car with a heart transplant. |

I am not sure what is implied by the word 'garage' here, but if you meant 'service center', then you have to visit them every 3 months or 5K km, whichever is earlier. Oil change is 6 months or 10K km, whichever is earlier. Bit disappointed by this service interval, because the Korean car which I used to drive before the civic had to visit the service center only every 10K km or 1 year, whichever is earlier. |
