bluesapphire 1 Report post Posted July 18, 2008 Hey SRV just go for i10 1.2 Kappa or swift Vxi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vibhor 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2008 ya..simply go for the new 1.2 kappa engine i10..it will be very nice as your first car......... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anveshp 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2008 Hey SRV just go for i10 1.2 Kappa or swift Vxi For six lakhs you will get SWIFT Zxi or SWIFT Vdi For 5.5 lakhs you will get SWIFT Ldi. For five lakhs you will get SWIFT Vxi. I feel i10 Kappa is slightly over priced. Out of all these SWIFT ZXI is the best bet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vroomo 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2008 Guys wat about Indigo CS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vibhor 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2008 indigo CS....personally speaking i dont like it its niether a perfect notchback nor a perfect saloon.....its just a normal indica with a tiny boot stuck on it thats all.......you can also opt swift dZire with 24 hour maruti service network or if you are intrested in hatch with a god engine wait for the new Grande Punto...........

Vroomo 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2008 Dont know but have seen Indigo a lot and thats y suggesting a Classic XL petrol which coms at 5.41 ex delhi and has amazing leg room minus a music player bluetooth kit lcd screens, etc but amazing bargain for that price... Dezire has a very long delivery time... Cheers!! Vroomo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raj_5004 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2008 my suggestion for SRV would be a swift or i10 1.2 and for vroomo, you should consider the Dzire, its the only decent sedan at this price, the waiting period is worth it. avoid the indigo, it may be a attractive bargain initially but quality niggles and problems are too much.raj_50042008-07-18 14:34:58 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rajeevraj 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2008 @srvwiz you need to specify more details on ur expected usage how much u'l drive where ur located etc... Othewise you will get a large number of options that can only confuse u more... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rssh 59 Report post Posted July 18, 2008 Well the first car should be small so rule out the sedans from here and the 1.2lt Kappa i10 and swift zxi are the standers here if you love driving then close your eye and take the swift and if want easy to own small car then the i10 asta.

yamahaR15 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2008 guys why r u sticking to this .....i10 kappa,& the very commonly seen swift. .....he can afford a car >5lakh..... kappa is not even tested by journos.......& u guys r telling to buy....... this i10 is cramped at rear .......has same legroom of santro.... why not a premium hatch back like.....fabia 1.2,fusion...!!!! personally i think srv is a poor car........it only ha good looks...poor engine & gearbox.....poor resale.....

srvwiz 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2008 hey thanks ....so many friends here...I am very glad to found this place... actually though my budget is not that high but I love long cars and I dont want to by small ones.... as "Rajeevraj" asked...I stay in New Delhi and my usage would be reasonable... Fusion is a good suggestion...basically I am concerned about the EMI's..if I go for 6-7 lacs car - what can be my expected EMI..... and thanks again for giving me so many valuable suggestions... srv Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rssh 59 Report post Posted July 19, 2008 Well if you want a big car then the VXi DZire suits you .Also the Fusion is expensive and will be at the top of your budget so if you get free bees like insurance then go for the Fusion + 1.6lt petrol .The reason I am saying the top end model is because it has the necessary ABS which the vehicle required.

bluesapphire 1 Report post Posted July 19, 2008 And ya as a first car go for Small one and prefer Hyundai and marutis...Avoid high maintenance cars and also dealerships of Ford is not good...choose a hassle-free car Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bluesapphire 1 Report post Posted July 19, 2008 well i think CS boot is neatly integrated and looks more balanced than Dzire......Ya the glass may be slant but it looks like boot is just add-on nothing else....K no prblem no debate now ....overall Dzire is much better than CS or any INDI series Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluesapphire 1 Report post Posted July 19, 2008 but long waiting is not that worth coz by the time he will get car around in early2009 i think if 6 months is considered, many new launches like Linea,Punto,etc will be launched so no meaning of waiting this much...
