Thanks!

Can you brief me on the availability of spares for the GTX.. are they hard to find or the dealers are able to source the spares?? What about consumables?

Spares are readily available or least on order with the dealers or via other sources, like Kava auto in mumbai.

Makesh, I do a lot of highway driving. It is quite dangerous to be out there. Trucks/Tractors coming in the wrong way, cyclist/bikes appering out of nowhere and all. So if I am to get a vehicle for the highway, my top priority will be a safety and built(solid feeling car). I think Palio with all the safety featues like ABS,EBD Airbags would be better for the highway in your budget. Afterall your safety is most important.

Just my 2 cents.Safe Motoring.

Makesh can you please give me contact number or address of mechanic Mr. Patil, as i am thinking of getting used Palio. As someone said one should find good mechanic first before buying Palio. This shall be my first vehicle.
