![]() This is purely my speculation. The GOI plans on having atleast one ncap testing facility in the country by January next year. Apart from making it mandatory for every car to be tested, there are also plans on amending the motor vehicles act to make airbags, anti-lock brakes, child restraints and....wait for it... electronic stability program, standard on every car. I would take that last bit about standard esc with a pinch of salt, however I think it would be fair to assume that if they stick to their timelines, then come 2015, every car will be equipped with atleast airbags and abs and I believe anyone looking at buying a small car that isn't equipped with safety features, ought to wait till then if they can afford to. Meanwhile, please do check out the Nissan Micra with the CVT. As far as ease to drive factor and quality goes, it is my pick of the lot. You'd be missing out on a sublime city car if you didn't atleast go for a test drive. ![]() Last edited by IshaanIan : 9th August 2014 at 12:34. | |

For 6L and AT, I would recommend pre-owned. A good Honda City AT can be easily obtained in 6L. A great car, good AT box with paddle shifts, Well Loaded | |

| ![]() The Grand i 10 AT Sports will come for 6L. Even the Asta AT is not much more for that matter. These are the prices in Delhi. I think you need to specify the requirements a bit more. There are quite a few AT cars now. The cheapest would surely be the celerio. |

Thanks Anurag, but the Brio AT is above 7 lakhs. So this is no option. Quote:

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Looking at the current prices and equipment levels, I myself cannot believe that I got my i10 AT + ABS + Airbags + sunroof for 5.65 L on road in 2009 ! 5 years down the line, the car looks even more vfm to me looking at the latest options and prices! |

True. 5.65L is unbelievable at today's pricing levels, and even if you are willing to pay- which hatchback give the option of a sunroof with AT! | |

For a new driver, I would advice to stick to MSIL celerio mostly due to the lower cost of maintenance. Also the overall proportions of the Celerio feel smaller than the other hatches which may help him. The biggest advantage I see is that minor dents and scratches ( which he might accumulate in the process of fine-tuning his skills) will be quite cheap to get fixed. |

Only thing is, it'll be some time before he can lay his hands on a new Celerio AMT due to the demand. Last edited by s_pphilip : 2nd September 2014 at 22:07. | |
