arkboypunk1 0 Report post Posted July 5, 2010 Well, I don't drive, but let me take a shot at it, based on my own opinion on the data I've read in magazines, people's experiences, and my own experience closely observing and traveling in these cars. I hope my post doesn't seem unnecessary, and apologies in advance to mods/anyone who is offended. Below Rs.5 lakh This one is easy' date=' its got to be the 1. WagonR K-series 2.Zen1.0L 3.Swift. Rs.5 Lakh-Rs.10 Lakh Again easy. 1.DZire/Swift 2. Fiesta 1.6 3. SX4 Rs.10 Lakh-Rs.20 Lakh 1. Laura TSi 2. Civic Hybrid 3. Still thinking SUVs below 10 Lakhs This is obvious- 1. Scorpio mHawk (and the Xylo, Bolero with similar engines) 2. Safari 2.2!for the road presence. 3. Fusion Tdi (mini-SUV) SUVs between 10 and 30 Lakh 1.Endeavor 2.

asethi919 0 Report post Posted July 5, 2010 Errr, I;m not a diesel fan so I would probably go for the petrol. I anyways dont expect a under-5Lac car to be powerful. I drove the Figo that a friend of mine bought last week and it was the handling that impressed me the most. My family owns a 2007 WagonR and the difference in the drivability and the overall feel of the car was simply unbelievable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

asethi919 0 Report post Posted July 5, 2010 As i said above, I know the petrol isnt powerful but I dont expect a under 5 lac car to be powerful. I am fine with a not so powerful, well built car with great handling for less than 5 lacs. I will stick to my choice of the Figo Petrol and continue to say no thanks to diesels.

creativebala 178 Report post Posted July 6, 2010 @Nishu, Once again the same old thing. We think almost alike. Do have a look at my choice. I choose A* as in my city, Swift D is 5L+, if not, that woud be my choice. Barring this, we share most of our fav. common. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_nishu 198 Report post Posted July 6, 2010 I know Swift D is 5 lac+, but that's only its VDi version retailing at some 5.30 lacs while its LDi retails at 4.90 lacs only. So, my Sub 5 lac choice for 'Road Rocket' is the- MS Swift LDi. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
