Thanks PrasannaDhana. Agreed. TDing the City this week.

Thanks gjnnbagal. Hexa and XUV500 are too big a car for my requirements and parking space constraints.

Thanks Vasanth. Thanks for sharing that thread. I had gone through it earlier. I am hoping that some of these issues are taken off by Hyundai in their recent launches.

Thanks anumod.
Kicks - It is gem of a car and the 1st one to offer 360 degree cam feature in that segment. However, the CVT isn’t offered in top end and that’s a downer because it skips some of my safety requirements. Couple it with sparse dealer network and reliability concerns and it doesn’t give me much confidence to purchase a Nissan. I don’t see many Kicks around. Long term reliability and brand ASS is an important factor for me (more than GC) in the purchase decision.
Harrier - Love this car but too big for my budget and parking.
T-ROC - I absolutely loved T-ROC and it struck a chord but it is 25L on road in Pune, which is about 25% higher than my stretched budget of 20L. Plus, being CBU, maintenance costs and spares availability is a concern.

Thanks sarav100. Yes, they do. I am going to TD both of them too even though they are above my budget.
If they fit in my tight parking spot and also in finance calculations and the home minister approves, I will definitely opt for one.

Thanks sachin_cs. I am not too sure if I want to put my money on 1 liter 3 cylinder turbo pot. I waited for VW Taigun 1.5 TSI Turbo DSG/TC (I’m not sure) in 2020 but looks like VW doesn’t have a timeline on launch. Also SKODA Vision IN is still in concept stage.

Will be TDing City this week. Let’s see how the feeling is compared to Zest’s relatively high seated position compared to other sedans.

Thanks Lowflyer23. I waited for VW Taigun 1.5 TSI Turbo DSG/TC (I’m not sure) in 2020 but looks like VW doesn’t have a timeline on launch. Also SKODA Vision IN is still in concept stage. I am still a couple months away from making the final call so till then if I hear the news about VW Taigun launch, I could consider waiting. I also have parking space constraints so that limits my choices.

Thanks rpm for your suggestions. Verna isn’t as spacious as even Zest, forget City, hence it is not on the list. Also, my FIL owned 1st gen fluidic Verna and we have experienced its backseat. It was horrendous and they haven’t fixed it even with the new gen.

Exactly PrasannaDhana. Tata spoils you for space.

Thanks narayans80. My Zest has more space than Ecosport. Also I am refraining from cars in that segment since we already have a Nexon in my extended family.

Thanks Sam77. All valid points. What about warranty if you change tyres? Any safety concerns to keep in mind if I decide to upgrade?

Thanks tirumalavoleti. Hyundai & Kia are milking the no-competition scenario when it comes to Creta/Seltos. I have to short list based on parking space constraints too.
