Tell Me Ur Openion On Suzuki Alto Or Suzuki A-Star

[geethsam]

Helly guyz,

I am going to purchase a car, small one and this will be my first owned vehicle. Know shit about vehicles. So hope your expertise to choose better one. Since My budget is below 1.9 mn which one is the best.

1. Fuel efficiency

2. Resellability

3. Maintenance cost

4. Comfortness

5. Sporty look

I know can not expect much more just for 1.9mn. but need to go for the best value vs. cost. Please let me know your openion.

Geeth

You're gonna spend almost 2 mil on a Maruti? You can buy a used Jap sedan for that money. A nice one too.

Try Suzuki Swift /2005.will meet all your requirements than a alto or Astar.

Cheers.

Please buy something manufactored at least 500 miles away from SL. Please...... If you are going to spend 1.9 mil

Like SREE said, why dont you go for the Swift (2004/2005 YOM)?? Better looks, better durability, better driving pleaseure, better everything...

OR you can buy a Sedan type car (2000 - 2002 YOM) like Mazda 323, Nissan FB 15 etc,

On your Point "5. Sporty look", are you kidding me?????

Sporty look!!!!! I love my Chevy cruze!!!

FB 15 is not a fuel efficiency car but has far more values than a Altos or swifts.

if you want brand new. go for a Viva Elite rather than any Maruti

and if you are willing to go for second hand

i suggest Toyota Vitz, a bit old Toyota passo, Chevy Cruze, Mazda 323 BJ5W or BJ5P

I was actually refering to the Alto and Astar about the sporty look. becuase they simply dont.

Chevy Cruze definatly got the looks bro... Totally agree.

[SREE]

a friend of mine got one for 19.50

Sure thats the price before the price increament (even around 1.9)..

Anyway thats a good buy if the car is in good condition.

dare i say civic EK3? you'll get a lot more than a "sporty look"

[geethsam]

You're gonna spend almost 2 mil on a Maruti? You can buy a used Jap sedan for that money. A nice one too.

Thanks guy.I am bit of afraid with used vehicles. How will be the resellability. brake downs etc.

Friend. I m looking for a brand new one. I m not interested in used vehcles.

So what should be the best option.

[Nirosha]

Why no one talk about new Kia Picanto 2011? saw an ad starting price of Rs. 1.65 M.

Then it should be Viva Elite!!! KIA picanto is there price depends on ptions you select. it should be around 2.1 mil(Basic model is cheaper than 2.1 i think)

I dont know will they make troubles, breakdown etc. Reselling will be a prob.!!! since I m the 2nd owner.

It doesn't count which owner you are if your vehicle is in good condition and a good brand(Toyota/nissan/suzuki..) with

availability of maintainance records.

If you realy want to go for a brand new go for Elite or Kia Picanto as i said earlier..

[Crosswind]

Thanks guy.I am bit of afraid with used vehicles. How will be the resellability. brake downs etc.

Don't ever think that Indian cars will remain trouble free, just because they are brand new. Things completely depend on your luck. There are known cases of brand new Marutis causing more trouble than decades old cars.

If you are worried about resale value, I would suggest to go for a mainstream car or a car which has already depreciated significantly.

Viva Elite is a japanese one? Can you compare Viva alite Vs.Suzuki A-star
