Ankit_mehta I understand that you have already stretched your budget. But, ABS has become a necessary requirement, which prevents your wheels from locking up during panic braking. I assume dual-airbags come standard in all the variants and when coupled with ABS can significantly reduce fatalities in the event of a mishap. Plus think of the extra goodies you get with the higher variant anyway. In my opinion, its worth the extra sum.

Test drove the i20, baleno and ford aspire. i20 gives the best driving comfort, but baleno is more practical and aspire was also really good. Not able to choose one among these three.Comment

Akhil Prasad For a petrol car, I would not recommend the Aspire. Even though the petrol engine is much better than the previous generation Figo's petrol engine, it still has a lot of scope for improvement as compared to the K series engine on the Baleno or the 1.2 engine on the Elite i20. The Elite i20 is a great car over all in terms of styling, features and quality. Being a Hyundai owner, you may also get better exchange benefits or loyalty bonus while moving from your Xing. The Baleno has better fuel efficiency on paper, owing to lower weight, however, in real world conditions there might not be a lot of difference. Being a Hyundai owner, you would also be familiar with the service experience of Hyundai. I would recommend the Elite i20 for the following reasons over the Baleno. 1. Better ICE. 2. Better interiors 3. Lower waiting period 4.6 air bags The Baleno is not a bad car by any aspect, but I don't feel the wait time is justified for it.I know a lot about cars, man. I can look at any car's headlights and tell you exactly which way it's coming.Comment

with a budget of 15 lakhs which car would be better. 2017 Honda City ZX (top model petrol) or Hyundai Elantra S (base model petrol) ?Comment
-
sanjandas19 , the updated Honda City is a great car and now comes with the much needed features and accessories. If you were to choose between the Elantra and City, it should be based on your preference in terms of features. The Elantra does come with the bigger 2.0L engine that makes for some good driving pleasure, but the base variant will not have many features like the City and also, efficiency of the Hyundai will be lower than the Honda as it is a bigger engine.No traction, more action!Comment

Hi Folks, I am really confused between two cars which I am planning to buy as soon as possible. Though, they are not same category, but still would need all your experts' advice to make a decision. The cars that I am looking at are
1. Ciaz Zdi + SHVS
2. Vitara Brezza Zdi+
I reside in Delhi NCR and my requirement is a total run of about 80-90 kms self drive everyday through heavy Delhi bumper to bumper traffic. Though I had already booked Brezza Zdi 2 months ago, the car seems to take another 2 months to get delivered which is making me go crazy. Meanwhile, I checked out Ciaz ZD+ SHVS which is costing me 50K lesser than Brezza Zdi+ with applicable discounts, I am doubtful on -
Interiors - Was making compromise with Brezza but Ciaz interiors are far more classier than Brezza
Overall Looks - Ciaz is much better than Brezza (my personal opinion) which seems just a WagonR with high GC
Ground Clearance - SUV feel of Brezza had made me choose it but after test driving Ciaz also, the ground clearance is not a problem it seems for an awkward bumps even.
But, the waiting period for Brezza is taking my nerves, please post your expert comments and advise.

For a couple of months I have been planning to buy an SUV. I am really confused b/w the Ford Endeavour and the Toyota Fortuner. In terms of performance and features I really liked the Endeavour, but I don't have a clear picture of its resale value. Please Help ! Thank YouComment

imkaush, thats a very detailed list of requirements, well done mate!
Starting with the Ignis, which is the newest car among your choices, it is a well rounded package and the top end petrol variant comes with a lot of kit as well making it good VFM, but it is a considerably smaller car as compared to the Figo and Polo. Given your budget, you would be able to buy the ZXi variant of the Ignis in 7 lakhs, whereas with the Polo and Figom only the mild variant would fit your budget.
Rear seat is not very nice in the Ignis as well, and the Figo is better at that. The Ignis is similar to the Swift as they both use the same K12 engine and make the same amount of power.
Also, since you have owned a bunch of Maruti Suzuki cars, I would suggest that you give some other brand a try as well. I would not suggest that you buy the Polo because of the 1.2 3-cyl petrol engine they have, it does not perform too well and neither is it efficient.
You could consider the Tiago as well, the 3 cylinder petrol engine is turbo charged and is a brand new engine as well. I have driven the Petrol Tiago for a considerable distance and found it to be reall comfortable and efficient as well. You should test drive the Tiago and then have a look at the Figo as well. Should help you choose.No traction, more action!Comment

I have a 1987 model Maruti 800, which is in bad shape & stationary for around 2 years now. Is it possible to get the old no. (DBD) of Maruti transferred to new car purchase if the name of the owner is the same. Registration for both will be Delhi. Also, what is the procedure?Comment
-
Ankit_mehta, I don't know if it is possible in New Delhi. But the Uttar Pradesh government came out with a system where the owner will be allowed to transfer the number by paying an amount of Rs 25,000 last April. In Maharashtra, the fee is Rs 10,000 for doing the same. In Haryana, the fee is just Rs 500, but they will not allow you to transfer the number if the old car is more than 15 years old. I think there is a way around where you cancel the current car's registration by informing the RTO that your current car is in an irreparable state and at the same time keeping the RTO officer in the loop about this and ask him to help you out in getting the same registration for the new car. But expect it to be a tiring process. I'd rather get a new number as once the 10-15 year-old car ban comes i place, it will reduce the risk of being stopped by the cops every once in a while asking for your papers to check if the car is too old.Comment
