Hatchback Comparator

Masda · 16th December 2008, 12:55

I found the vehicle comparator pretty useful as I am planning to trade-in my old Santro for a new hatchback. IMO and situation, it appears i10 makes a lot of sense considering exchange bonus and my past pleasant experience with a Hyundai. Thanks again for putting this together!

Couple of points to the spreadsheet.
1. The TCO is not complete without including the cost of maintenance for the said period i.e. 70,000 kms or 3 years on an average.

2. The TCO assumes the actual car price OTR and does not include interests if one were to go for a loan.

A* will also go down the Estillo path, so better you stay with Swift, Vista, i10 or U-VA

Now you already have a Maruti, so go for a Hundai. Go for i10 for a good upmarket car, or santro (the best VFM in town).

A*: not for a family of 3 even (probably maruti can com up with 2 seater A* just by removing rear seat.

why dont you consider the fabia petrol? i think its excellent VFM slightly above the budget but you probably wont regret it.
