Which is the best C+ segment sedan around?

autocarcr · 19th June 2009, 16:36

Which do you think is the most VFM sedan around- my vote goes to the Linea for its features, low price, upmarket feel and adequately powered engine which offers complete satisfaction with the newly improved A.S.S and cheapest spare parts!

Depends on your definition of "value". If value means having 100+ horses under the hood, for example, Linea goes out of the door

McLaren Rulez · 19th June 2009, 16:40

Since you said sedan, my vote goes to the Logan. Although I hate the wipers.

Maximum_torque · 19th June 2009, 16:43

My vote also goes for Logan. Good mileage and lot of practicality because of its space. Drive quality is pretty decent

autocarcr · 19th June 2009, 16:51

I am Sorry Maximum_torque and Mclaren_rulez you will have to choose from the options given above. And anurag Its not exactly 100bhp as Linea comes below that- its more like a C+ segment poll. Let me make your comparisons easier.
Please view this comparison report with most of the cars above- although the report favours the Linea you are entitled to your own opinions please state the reason for your choice too....

How come you din't include Ford Ikon, Tata Indigo, Hyundai Accent, Chevy Aveo apart from the Logon as mentioned by others.

Only C+ sedans are there on the thread- sorry I didnt include in the poll heading- Mods please do so! Otherwise I'll have to include all the BMW's and Audi's too (most of them) and trackinn the results will become biased and combursome- we will stick to the same segment for now!

This is becoming boring now & any way how many ppl care for VFM whilst buying a sedan. If this were the case then the Logan would be really selling BIG number, sadly it isn't.

Forget the VFM too I think mods should re name it as "Which is the best C+ segment sedan around?"

vasudeva · 19th June 2009, 17:00

I would say the Ambassador and Fiat. They are still around, in the new or used car market

anurag_p80 · 19th June 2009, 17:09

Now that you have changed it to the best C+ sedan around, do elucidate what is meant by "best". For an enthusiast, I'd say the Fiesta 1.6S, the Lancer, and the Magnum run pretty close. I am sticking to my trusty Palio 1.6 though

McLaren Rulez · 19th June 2009, 17:14

Well "best" is really too hard to judge since you can't really establish a criteria. For instance, some might like the cool look of the Honda City while others may prefer the expensive look of the Linea. Who's right?

Maverick1977 · 19th June 2009, 17:22

This is going to be one controversial thread & people are going to get the title changed to this & then to that.
Can we please end this thread at the earliest.

Voted for SX4.
As a complete package, I believe nothing can beat the SX4.

This car has got good chassis, sturdy suspension, reasonably good engine, good GC, good reliability, good A.S & S. support, is quite safe, good seating position, etc.

No other car offers similar level of peace-of-mind. More over the spares are not very costly too. It has got everything a car is expected to do. The midrange is quite good for highway cruising and overtaking.
Suspension and GC are good for our roads.

Cedia it is for me.
Although I would love to have toys and gadgets in my car, nothing can beat the joy of driving a cedia. Wish the mill turned out at least 20 more ponies
