at Rs. 2.63 lakh, what would you buy? zen estilo or alto?

sidindica · 19th February 2009, 10:11

again, zen is available at a discounted price of rs 2.63 lakh (including discounts and exchange bonus) for the estilo LX model.

dos the car deserve to succeed now? or will people still go on for alto?

also, getz prices have come down by 30,000-40,000 for petrol varents.

the base 1.1 getz GLE now comes at 3,59,000 ex-delhi.

bblost · 19th February 2009, 10:17

without a doubt at that price level the Zen Estillo.

loving_alaap · 19th February 2009, 10:20

For that price, go for Zen, no need to think even for alto.

Alto is a smaller car with smaller engine.

Alto - Coz it has power steering.

kalpeshc · 19th February 2009, 10:31

What would be the discounted price of the Estilo variant with power steering?

shabahmad · 19th February 2009, 10:31

Estillo, at this price its sure to go for it.IMO the only drawback of estillo is its egg shaped design, but at this price i will certainly take it.

HappyWheels · 19th February 2009, 10:58

At this price, Estilo is good. This is more so if you are tall and you have elderly people traveling. The ingress and egress is much better for the Estilo than Alto. But in terms of driving comfort, I will take an Alto, hands down.

(FYI: I own an Alto and my dad has a Estilo)

DCEite · 19th February 2009, 11:31

No brainer this.
Estilo it should be, unless you plan to mod the Alto with 1.1 engine, FFE, K&N and take it on the track.

madhukar_n · 19th February 2009, 11:33

both will get replaced over time i guess.. alto with astar
estillo/wagor-r with splash.

it depends on the need. more room space go for estillo.. more mileage go for alto !!

look wise i personally like the alto :-)

joslicx · 19th February 2009, 11:34

if priority is a city car then go for ALto (the one with power steering). I cant imagine life without PS now! I once drove my friend's Alto Lx (this one doesnot have PS) and it was really uncomfortable.
However if priority is a car for frequent weekend drives outside then Estilo is better (more powerful/resposive engine).

IMO is a call between comfort and power

esteem_lover · 19th February 2009, 11:45

I'd choose the Alto still. Estilo is too feminine.

Bubby · 19th February 2009, 11:50

You should be going for an ESTILO, it gives you more VFM as compared to the Alto.

Bigger engine and a much bigger cabin space as compared to the Alto.

aka_iitd · 19th February 2009, 11:53

Why not check Wagon R. You may get good deals on it if there is a confusion on Estilo Alto

manish7 · 19th February 2009, 12:25

Estilo it should be. I sort of like Zen Estilo design - silver one looks good, and it is far more spacious than Alto.

simonkayar · 19th February 2009, 13:42

Estilo is spacious compared to Alto and doesn't feel too bad with AC turned on. So Estilo - way to go.
