| ![]() All, Apologies if this is not the correct thread to post this query. I am thinking to buy a "big" car , budget will be 5-7L max. My primary usage will be for some highway trips but not really for the daily grind. Have been looking for Corollas, Accords and the Superbs (1.8TSI ![]() Thanks for all the advice. |

| ![]() At that price range you will get very old examples of the vehicles that you are aiming for. Instead look one level down - you'll find vehicles priced around 10-15 lakhs that will sell for around 7 lakhs in a much newer condition compared to when you buy an older Superb or Accord at that price. Honda City, Duster, Ecosport type cars. Or maybe an All New Fiesta like mine, I think you'll love some of the features (self folding mirrors, puddle lamps, push button start, door sensor for entry by just pressing a button on the door handle, etc) the Fiesta has, comparable to cars available at much higher price ranges.

Since I would hardly use this car for 5k km in a year, I was hoping that the usage would be light enough to risk buying an older well maintained car as against the newer cars. I am really not interested in the current 10-15L rung of cars, they do not provide the big car feel. Last edited by ampere : 12th June 2018 at 08:24. Reason: Trimmed quoted post | |

It came with a 6 speed manual and a CVT, I am talking about petrol engines. Try going down that route. Last edited by ampere : 12th June 2018 at 08:24. Reason: Trimmed quoted post | |

| ![]() Used Innovas sell for ridiculously high premiums so that instead of buying a nearly new Innova you're better off buying a brand new one. |

| ![]() What would be a fair price for Honda City VMT Sept. 2013, second owner, 33000 kms done genuine. Verified service history and still running on original set of MRF tyres, insurance valid. The car is in neat condition inside out and with some extra fittings as well. Owner is asking for 6.0L which I felt is a bit steep while the user car valuation tools show anything between 5.0-5.7L as a fair price. I have to get back to him with my offer hence seeking opinions. |

| ![]() What would be the fair price for Chevy Cruze - 2011 LTZ model, 50K driven, in Bangalore. Is it worth to buy a Cruze now, considering that Chevy is out of the country, and I will own it for 2-3 years ? Is maintenance a hassle ? Sold on the looks and the power. Intention is to use it for ~5-7K a year. |

| ![]() Don't buy it for more than 5L. Remember you would be third owner, no body would want to touch a car from third owner when you decide to sell it. Last edited by ampere : 12th June 2018 at 08:25. Reason: Trimmed quoted post |

| ![]() Hi, I've been commuting in Bangalore with a used Corolla Altis, bought in Feb 2017, a 2010 1.8G model bought for 5L. My commute has become longer and more arduous due to the new office in an area where I need to take 5-6 smaller roads from my home and no trunk roads at all, so starting early also doesn't avoid bumper to bumper. I'm not comfortable engaging the clutch and moving few feet at a time in 1 st gear for 80% of my 9km commute each way. It makes me tense and I become weary by the time I reach office or back home. I looked at automatics in the 5-7L range and found the following choices: 1. Honda City 2012 or newer S/V ATs 2. Honda Jazz 2012 or newer ATs 3. Ford Aspire AT 4. Ford Ecosport AT 5. Hyundai Verna Petrol 6. Hyundai i20 I'll also be using the vehicle for highway trips(say 8-10 trips per year) to Chennai, so capacity to hold 1-2 large suitecases would be good. Which of these cars are low/easy on maintenance, safe and has decent mileage? Any suggestions or thoughts welcome. I love the Corolla for its solid build and planted feel on the highway. Would I grow accustomed to the bumper to bumper and just need to give it more time? Some of my friends have a beater AT just for the commute while other swear by their MT power and control and it only makes me more indecisive. |
