Hi T.E member :)

my mom 's old alto model 2003 has done 55,000 km but the type got flat 1 week ago so i bought all new type for our old car

but my mom is not awake of alto small engine need more powerful and bhp also

also we travel to highway mostly per months one in the time

she need good service maintenance cost and better powerful and small car is better for her to easy to parking :)

budget 4-5 lakh as exchange the old alto for 1.25 lakh where i spoke many showroom ;)

btw don' t ask me swift recommend one :p btw i hear after 6 months swift will be stop and will be laugh new swift look or maybe cut it :| due to out of parts

also my grandparents already own swift D-zire VDI diese where they bought 3 week ago l but she don 't want to buy swift as copy of d-zire :lol:

so suggest any petrol car with more powerful bhp :)

cheers

^ the i10 is good but back rear boot space is small need more luggage for travel mostly btw 1.1 1100 cc has 67 BHP and 1.2 1200 cc give 80 BHP but swift weight 1050 kg and i10 850 kg make different :p

no swift please pls read the first post carefully :p swift will be EOL 5 months ;)

so i have short list car update

Hyundai i10 1.2 sport

skodar fabir 1.2

fiat palio 1.6 sport

fiat puntro 1.4

maruti RITZ 1.2

any brand fix budget 5-6 lakh fix neg :)
 
If it's for your mom, nothing beats the Hyundai i10. Simply fantastic in the city and ridiculously easy to drive.

If you can afford it, get the automatic transmission.
 
i Would rather tell you to decide between i10 1.2 sport and Ritz.

1. Hyundai i10 1.2 Kappa Magna

+engine refinement

+performance

+compact

-high speed stability

Great for City driving

2. Maruti Suzuki Ritz Vxi

+Space, Comfort

+cheap spares

+high speed stability

-engine refinement when compared to i10

Great for Highways

PS: Decide with a test drive.
 
Buy a ritz,you won't regret.punto has some nagging issues.i10 is not that great on highways.skoda will cost high in terms of after sales and service.
 
For mom,
ritz DDIS, or I10 1.2 kappa

For you, if possible
Palio stile 1.6 sport
100 bHP rocket

Ur mom can drive Palio too, much safer than swift, I10, itz.
 
Why not a Spark?

Pro:

i) Cheaper

ii) Good engine - great city car

iii) Easy handling

iv) Women generally love the looks

Con:

i) boot space

Otherwise there is no car in this price segment more spacious than a Indica.

lol btw red it bored and it might get scratch while we bump some auto :p

so grey is better cause my mom don't like black due to it is very dark to see at native place without any outside light :lol:

@bottle and crazy eddy

1.2 is better engine and smooth kappa one cause it is better that 1.1 IRDE i10 and RITZ also cause the ritz dont have smooth power steering for handle the car u-turn easy ;) no different and the mp3 player look ok cause no usb port support :no:

already done 100 km on city road :rofl: at near the marine beach :D
