Well i am about to buy my first car and need suggestions about which car to go for. My specified budget is 11 lacs which could be pushed to 11.5 max.
MY USAGE i am a student who has to travel from Gujrat to Islamabad once every two weeks via G.T road (2 hours drive. 145 kms) with one to two persons accompanying me . where as daily drive is about 20 kms (both ways)from my college to house so mileage isnot an issue.And what i think is having a new make/model hatcback would be better then having an older sedan , which would be dragging me to workshops more often . Moreover my family wont be ever travelling in this car . so what do you guys suggest ?
Bro considering your situation, I would recommend Toyota (preferably Corolla, or any other model in good condition, matching your budget, requirements, etc.), then Honda City, and lastly, Suzuki Swift.
get new Alto, wagon R or new Cultus..
Point taken , will be looking forward to it . can you plz clarify a bit more ?
Thanks alot for the advice bro . but the problem here is that the new cultus is out of budget . and wagonR has no stability . And new alto isnot worth it.
If you can live with an older car then go for corolla without any second thought as gt road traveling is more comfortable in corolla then city, but again the older the car the greater the probability of going to workshops for some maintenance work, now if you r looking for a newer model being a student i will advise you wagon R as it is not heavy on pocket compared to swift offcourse you have to compromise something in limited budget. As far as swift is concerned I personally like the shape and drive of swift but I haven’t owned one but majority owners advise against that car as it is heavy on pocket maybe.
thanks brother ! have decided to go for xli 09/10 . As i am in no hurry , i'll try to find a good one that just needs regular maintenance. We own a civic'18 and also kept a corolla 2009 in the past(2od basic variant) & i swear the suspension of civic 18 is alot harder than corolla 09 leaving aside the grande. And i hate the noises civic 18 makes when driven on the cracks on the G.T Road.Will definately go for Corolla , you just made the point clearer! I'll let you guys know when i get one .
