I do agree. Bangalore pricing for new cars is amongst the highest in India, not surprising that reflects in the used market too.
Finding clean RS, Vtec etc. is a tough job. But hey, looking for them is the fun part.
The reward is ending up with a car that you look forward to driving everyday. Quote:
PS: Can we get a similar comparison thread for the SUVs available in the market? This would help the family people a great deal.

Our official TD section will tell you everything you need to know about each MUV & SUV on sale in India.

So many Accords going for rock bottom prices! Please screen through the many classified options. 1st gen Accords for 3.0 lakhs, previous gen Accords starting at 5 lakhs, the list is endless.

Will consider. Thanks

I would like to nominate the Maruti Esteem to be in this list too. It's quick to revv engine, combined with the light body shell makes it pretty sprightly. 85 HP and only about a ton to push around. Definitely quicker than the likes of Palio 1.6. Reasonably good handling and ride too, came with independent rear suspension ages back.

Will have the Esteem added. While I don't think too much of the Esteem in stock form, it's a great project vehicle. Hey, I owned an Esteem for 10 years so know a li'l about the car.

I'm still sitting on the fence
. I absolutely agree with you, the thrill of driving
and that maniac of a revv-happy engine is unique to the Vtec alone. No other Indian car I've driven, spanning across segments above, comes close.
The only thing that's stopping me is the way that she's serving me. A single annual visit to Linkway Honda, for 24 hours, is all she needs. High-revvs without complaint on all the other 364 days.

After all that fire and smoke in the Indigo Manza thread, (not sure if you remember it ), I fell for some mod posts in the mod section and went for a new Ford Fiesta 1.6.

Wow, good taste. Congratulations. You owe us a detailed ownership report.

Don't overlook the fact that you can get an RS of the same vintage, far cheaper than a TDi. Obvious reason : Our markets love for fuel efficient diesels.
