-   -   Your TOP 5 Indian Cars? (https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/shifting-gears/2186-your-top-5-indian-cars-38.html)

5 cars from which I have driven so far.

1- Ford Fiesta
2- Hyundai Accent
3- Maruti Esteem
4- Maruti Zen (previous model)
5- Maruti 800

1. Maruti 800 5 Speed - the best iteration of the car that changed the Indian automotive scene - forever.
2. Maruti Suzuki Swift - the car that single handedly changed the impression of Suzuki worldwide and Maruti in India.
3. Honda City Vtec Type 2
4. Mahindra Classic
5. Toyota Camry

5 cars which I would like to have (for me) in my garage in order of priority are:

1st car- Corolla Altis
2nd car- Scorpio AT 4x4
3- Fortuner
4- BMW 5 series
5- Gypsy MPFI

1. Subaru Forester AWD
2. Ford Mondeo petrol
3. Skoda Octavia 1.8 vRS
4. Fiat Palio 1.6 GTX
5. Honda City 1.5 V-Tec(1st gen)

I agree with most of the lists here (especially ones with the Mondeo in them!) - here's my list of fav vehicles, limited to the ones I've driven only:

5) The Hyundai Tucson [hey I liked it]

4) Maruti-Suzuki Swift [loved the peppy engine, VFM for it's time]

3) Toyota Qualis [Strong workhorse, survivor]

2) Hyundai i20 [liked it so much, just bought one]

1) Fiat Linea MJD Emotion Pack [Loved it. Wanted one badly.]

I've included only hatchbacks in my list:
1. Hyundai i20 Diesel
2. Skoda Fabia
3. Honda Jazz
4. Maruti Alto
5. Hyundai Getz

1)Maruti 800-for its zippy engine and light weight
2)Tata Indica-for its safety, FE and space
3)Maruti Omni van-its fun to drive because there's no hood lol:
4)Fiat palio 1.6
5)Mahindra Scorpio

Here's my list :

a) Maruti 800 - the car that changed the Indian automotive scene for good (not technically, but Alto, Zen, Wagon R etc are all enhancements to the 800 IMO). Stupid thing even tho ages old is still selling respectable numbers!

b) Maruti Swift - Started the so called premium hatch segment like no ones business. Others have come and gone. Its still ticking strong.

c) Skoda Octavia - First of its kind 'affordable' diesel + european luxury & build. Gave us the 'thud'. Lauras, Jettas, Superbs were all enhancements in to the Octavia, in Indian context. Mercs were purely a status symbol. Nothing pathbreaking here.

d) NHC - It got Honda the brand recognition that it has now. The OHC was a better car but it was the NHC that gave Honda a 'mass appeal'. And, it gave the owner the kind of FE and snob value no other good petrol sedan could manage.

e) Tata Indica - Changed, rather coined the term 'cab' in indian context.

Top 5 Cars which I like the most & is available in India

1) Fiat - 1.6 GTX
2) Fiat - Multijet
3) Maruti - Alto
4) Toyota - Fortuner
5) Audi - Q7

1 Skoda Octavia tdi
2 Maruti Swift
3 Hyundai i10
4 Ford Mondeo
5 Honda City 1.5(ohc)

1. Mahindra Scorpio
2. Tata Safari
3. Skoda Laura
4. Toyota Innova
5. Ford Endeavour

My list is as follows:-

1. Maruti 800 - This car can go literally anywhere. Small wonder indeed!
2. Maruti Zen - I am biased. I have one and i feel like king when i drive her!
3. Skoda Octavia vrS - True performer. India's first 'hot rod' well more or less.
4. Honda City 1.5VTEC - The older ones. Just before it was replaced by the egg shaped City. Blitzering performer! Yet to sit in one (can you believe). There is a black one near my house who keeps driving up and down New BEL Road. The sound, speaks for itself!
5. Ford Endeavour - Menacing looks, Ultimate off-roader and not exorbitantly priced.

1. Maruti 800- This car can do just about anything is with me since last 13 years and still ROCKS!!!
2. Ford Fiesta- Best drivers car in India below 10lacs.
3. Maruti Swift- VFM package
4. BMW 5 series- Best looking BMW in India
5. Porsche Cayenne turbo S- Butch looks and mad 550BHP

Cars I owned and drove

Maruti 800, a frugal car, a car I have driven most of my life.

Hyundai Ascent for its VFM and sturdiness. Easy to manouvre

Indica Xeta, a peppy hatchback with rugged build

Skoda Octavia for it snob value and performance

Honda City, everything a luxury car can give

maruti baleno(poor mans sports car)
octavia vRS(true drivers car)
honda civic(simply perfect)
mitsubishi lancer(looks and handling.)
honda accord(luxury and performance)
