Thanks all of you for such a nice response to my question. Really thaful to you.
To moderators, Thanks for Welcoming me. I came across "teambhp" while searching for reviews on SWING and OPEL. and just got amased to see how insteractive this forum is !!!!
Space requirement in SWING is enough for me but also want such car with which i can cruise (being a YAMAHA rider
) at higher speed with some sporty look. [If budget is not being my problem then certainly i'd have gone for HONDA CR-V
] so i am looking for somewhat different and more than Sedans (e.g. esteem,corsa,Accent etc) withing my budget. (space is problem with sedans for me as i frequently used go for outing with family so requires more space)
I also saw FORD fusion but from the looks it doesn't seem like a 7.5 lacs CAR. Sorry to say but no beauty from inside at all. :(
Also Scorpio is little overpriced for me. so......
Hi RX135,
I visited Jay-Vijay Motors and he has last Adventure remained (whose color i don't like at all) in showroom and ready to give 53K discount on that. But I rejected that offer . Si I went to Ashwamegh Auto, where showroom person called to FIAT Company and asked about Adevnture's Status so that company rep said that Model has been discontinued and may launch another variant in around April '05.
Also thanks for your suggestions on dealers.
Thanks for nice reviews on Marina .
But what about from the safty point of view (engine safty, safty of persons inside and overall safty). ?
Whatever i have realised and understood is that apart from "side impact beam" , Marina has nothing specific to mention. No engine guard, No crash sensor, No Automatic release of central locking and child locking in case of impact, No deformation of front/rear bumphers on case of light impact, No extra heat shield for engine, No insulation for engine circuit wiring, No diagonal brakes (if i am not wrong diagonal breakes are for preventing imbalance of car while breaking at high speeds and prevents sliding of the road). All of these do exist in Corsa SWING (obviosly for more money
) . Above all when we lift bonnet of Marina and SWING , one can easily make a difference in the weight. also while opening a doors. SWING uses very thick guage steel sheet which I think can withstand against more impact / collisions. I remember if i am not wrong then OPEL Astra (back), one of most sturdy SEDAN in it's category.
So due to this my mind is favouring SWING but still I asked to you all guys your opinion.
thanks once again
