Car and bike questions? We have the answers
|
I want to buy a new car and my budget is between Rs 3.5 to 4.5 lakh. I have short-listed the Chevrolet Aveo U-VA, the Logan and the Esteem. My priorities are fuel efficiency, comfort, safety, decent boot space and low maintenance costs. Which suits me best?

We suggest you stretch your budget a little and go for the Logan diesel. It is fuel efficient, comfortable and has a big boot. The top diesel and petrol versions even come with airbags. The next recommendation is the Chevy U-VA. Decent boot, reasonably fuel efficient and comfortable.
At present, I drive a Maruti 800 Deluxe 2002 model. I want to upgrade to a new car and my budget is between Rs 3.5 to 4 lakh. I drive in the city for 600km per month and my basic requirements include good manoeuvrability and service facilities. I short-listed the Wagon R, Zen Estilo, Santro Xing and Spark. I find that the Estilo isn’t hugely popular. The Xing I hear is an excellent car and that it will soon be upgraded. Will this reduce the resale value of the existing model? This leaves me with the Spark and Wagon R. I haven’t seen too many Sparks on the road so am wondering about its efficiency. Is the Wagon R my only option?
RavindraThe Santro is available, but only the basic variants remain. Go for the new Hyundai i10. It is modern, fuel efficient, and manoeuvrable.
We are planning to buy a new car and are confused between the Hyundai Santro Xing, Maruti Esteem and Chevrolet U-VA. We want to know which one is the best with regard to comfort, fuel efficiency, spare parts availability and service facility. The car will be used for 500km per month.

Chevrolet UV-A is the most comfortable. But the Santro Xing has the best fuel efficiency, spare parts are relatively cheap and after-sales service is good.
