Upgrade decision

[usman.saif22]

I am planning to upgrade my car. Max budget ~4.5M.
Which is the best option:
1. Honda City 1.3 (auto) - used
2. Gli 1.3 (auto) - used
3. Yaris 1.3 (auto) - (in that case manage budget for brand new)
4. Your opinion

I am considering fuel efficiency, sedan, comfort, automatic.

Any tips while (if) purchasing new car from showroom.

In the above three. A yaris because it's brand new, is economical and comfortable. A tip is to check around all showrooms before booking a car for one with least delivery time.
Preferable go to a showroom where you know somebody, makes the Grey area quite less.
Also while taking delivery, properly check the car before taking it out of the showroom for any body repair

I don't have any ref/link in showrooms. while receiving from showroom should I take an a expert / pw inspector for details check or I can go through myself generally.
Is there any difference price in showrooms or is it fixed and same throughout in city (lhr).

What idea about new Alsvin Lumiere because i read owner reviews/feedback on different forums most of the peoples complaints about the engine knocking and DCT gear shifting noise. And CVT is much better then DCT. Should I add Alsvin into my list?

Take a friend along who understands accidentals, otherwise you are good to go. Unless you want instant delivery, on that, prices vary, but if you book properly, prices will be the same throughout. Visit all the showrooms and find a compatible sales representative, because most of them lie and delay things

I haven't heard any complaints yet, 3 people that I know who used it are quite happy. Though I have seen a few ads for alsvin, 15k driven, gearbox gave up, 10k driven gearbox issue. Don't know as to why that is, other than that, dct lasts longer, cvt returns better mileage but is sensitive.

I have a friend who moved from a 1.5 yaris to a lumeire, he thinks the yaris was better, haven't had a detailed discussion with him as to why he thinks so
