| Re: The "I Booked my Car" Thread Booked a Ciaz ZXI, delivery sometime next week I had been longing for an automatic, and test-drove Jazz and Aspire. Jazz was really good, especially with its enormous space. Coming from a Swift, the music system and AC touch screen console did not appeal particularly. Aspire had some interesting design, but the leg space and boot space was nothing to vouch for. Eventually went for a Ciaz ZXI (Manual) even after longing so much for an automatic! A classic case of heart over mind. The third car from Maruti stable in family, pleasing aesthetics - a car that slots neatly for the practical use being sought for. Frankly speaking, Jazz sounded premium in this price range, lacking bare essentials like central locking and magic seats for its CVT variant. A compact sedan in this price range was not worth-inspiring. Phew! Automatics and non-sedate driving machines can wait for another 6 years.  Time to celebrate with fiancée! |

| Re: The "I Booked my Car" Thread After one and half years of confusion, chaos, doubts, road tests, hundreds of tbhp forum pages, expert advice, I took the plunge for this: Make: Honda Model: Jazz Variant: SV MT Fuel: Petrol Booking Date: 02.02.2016 Color: Golden Brown EDD: 25.02.2016 Dealer: Sundaram Motors, Chennai Freebies: wo kya hota hai  Others: Corporate discount of Rs 3000 For over a year primarily my research for new car hovered around swift, dzire, elite i20, Punto and the car which was technically never on my radar was booked on 02.02.16. So, friends never say never to anyone. Jokes apart! My wife still complains to me for not buying her eye candy elite i20. It took some solid convincing by me to make her understand that Honda is Honda and I promised her the seats will be comfy unlike our old Alto. I tried my level best to take her for a test drive but unfortunately couldn't do so. It's not that she hasn't sat in Jazz. Of course she has, in the cars parked in the showrooms and she was pleased. I am taking insurance from outside and saving Rs 5000 and I have also not opted for RSA offered by the dealership as the same is offered by the insurer under zero depreciation policy. Yesterday I have made the full payment to the dealership and I am insisting on PDI before the car goes to rto. I forgot to tell you my car is waiting in dealers yard.  Safe drives! |

I've taken back the booking and decided to think over it and all other options once again before I move ahead this time, the thing is I really like the Creta but it's over my budget at this time, I know there's no comparing these two but still  I believe waiting it out for some time could help and the budget constraints might as well loosen up in the near future. | |

The new E class is just a few months away, so why buy a brand new E class which is about to be phased out in a few months. I hope you don't mind me asking. | |

There are only four reasons 1. Price factor. The new E will be close to 70L at least for a few months post the launch. I can't afford that much. 2. W212 always stands out as a classic Benz and not like the present generation C/E/S class. The present E class will always remain as a heritage vehicle. 3. I'm getting good discounts for the present E class 4. W213 is planned for launch only in 2017. | |
