Is it justified to spend Rs 8.5 lakh on an MG Comet EV?

I am worried about the fact that I could miss out on a Tiago EV just because of the space constraint that we have.

Should I Buy The MG Comet?

Hello!

This is my first post on TeamBHP!

My family is in a very confused state about buying a comet and I would like to get the views of the various comet owners and other TeamBHP members for the same.

Well, here is my situation: We have a Honda City at home, which is usually used for short trips and highway drives. My sibling commutes to her college using an auto or the public bus. But these modes are completely unreliable and the nearest bus stop is 1.8km from my home. The bus frequency is pathetic too. And some days she might have to end up staying late in college (She's pursuing medicine) and might have night shifts. The college is about 9km away and our family is planning to get her a 4-wheeler. She is a first-time driver (She obtained her license just a month ago, but is still not confident about driving a 2-wheeler, hence had to rule it out).

The parking space available is very little (3.2m in length) as the other car takes up most of the space. This narrowed down our search to only Nano Automatics (Again, we couldn't make up our mind due to it being discontinued, spares, and Tata service as a whole). As a result of this, we are now looking to buy a comet.

The comet just fits in right, is close to the charging point, and ticks all the boxes needed. The mid variant also has all the features we're looking for. But, my concern is, that the Tiago EV also looks promising and is priced similarly, and it comes with a fast charging option, along with a big boot and comfortable 5 seats.

I am worried about the fact that I could miss out on a Tiago EV just because of the space constraint that we have. Is it justified for us to spend about 8.5L for an MG Comet just because it fits right in the space available instead of the Tiago EV considering the aftermarket servicing, fear of the product being discontinued, and the lack of spares in the future? (The Comet will majorly be used for urban driving only, and the Honda City will be used for long trips).

I would love to know all of your thoughts on this.
