How much did the Insurance work out for you. Also I was told at dealers here in Bangalore that the free Insurance+Ext warranty offer was till Feb end only. Are they carrying the offer well into March also???
BTW: At what percentage road tax is getting charged at chennai?

After going through all most all the test drive reports of hatch backs shortlisted hyundai i10 & maruti ritz.

Then it was time to go through all the initial ownership threads. *** was a big criteria and so was resale value & peace of mind. Ritz was a clear winner.

Have booked my 1st car - Ritz ZXi

Booking Amt - Rs.10K (2nd wk of Feb)
Waiting period - 40 days (March last wk)
offers - Insurance & corp disc of Rs.3K
Freebies - Mudflaps, Floor mats, seat covers
Final OTR - 5.33 lac

Special thanks to GTO for excellent detailed test drive reports & nsbhagwat, gandhi, ada, navan49, funda2max, maglev for very informative initial ownership reports.

You guys have made my decision making a breeze.
