Hey bro,
welcome aboard. Enjoy your stay here.
try out the Petra, Ikon 1.6/1.3.
The corsa is outdated and the Indigo no fun to drive.

Welcome to team-bhp, enjoy your stay.

welcome aboard the forums. See for a petra 1.6

WHile Ikon is a drivers cars some of its ergonomics are not good. For eg the power window buttons are too low to my liking.

Petra is a better family car and more robust and stronger too. fiat will also offer you discounts and give freebies.

hynudai with abs makes more sense as it is a practical car and comes with ABS.

select between a petra(check if dealer has abs and airbags option) or a accent with ABS.

baleno and corsa are just too outdated.

also look at the lancer. With the price revision of 90K it makes good value at 6.59

Welcome 3f-3f

U haev 2 diff type of cars in mind eh?
ikon 1.6 : power, nice back seat comfort
indigo: space, value 4 money..diesel
Corsa: mate, its 2 old and tiny compared 2 teh above

try Petra 2, baleno ( better price now i guess)

Hope Team-Bhp helps u find a car of ur choice, but... drive one b4 u decide

Welcome 3F3F ... this is a great place to be .

But I really think you should respect the rules of this forum and post your questions in the appropriate forum.

You may require 50 posts to do so .. but I think thats justified ..cause we all contribute and we all grow ... together !

Welcome to the Forum,
I would suggest an Esteem. Easy to maintain on the Baroda roads. If you are looking for a more powerful version and looks are secondary then a Baleno would be wise option
