Honda Elevate review

Honda nailed it with the pricing! Finally! This car is value for money considering other manufacturers! Buying experience: should be good Looks and performance: looks high class, looks like its global models abroad. Performance for a natural aspirated model is quite good. Mileage is good too. Pros: looks, build quality, engine, price Cons: few features like ventilated seats, panoramic sunroof is missing.

my first car Ritz LXI

Hi friends ! after spending around 2-3 months on various options, doing a lot of research on net, having TDs i finally books my RITZ LXI today in Jaipur. My budget was only around four lac and was to decide only between i10 and A-star. my mind was saying to go for i10 and heart was saying to go for a Maruti product which was A-star for me. I loved the looks of A-star. and was impressed with FE of Astar. (My daily driving will be around 25km daily) I took two test drives of A-star and I was satisfied with it but there was concern in my mind regarding space. I have family of 4 me, wife, and two daughters of 10 & 8. My kids were in love with looks of A-star but my wife was not happy of it. She used to say that the look from front seat is not good in A-star because of dashboard. There was concerns in my mind also regarding the space in rear and very negligible boot. I read here on reviews that travelling at rear in A-star is horrible. Regarding i10 i was planning to buy i10 1.2 megna. I like that car in size in compression to A-star but i read a lot of complaints regarding i10 like the Electronic Power Steering of i10 has some problems and ASS of Hyundai is good but very costly. So many of my friends suggested to go for only a Maruti product. Today I went to showroom for booking of A-star VXI but before booking I decided to take a TD again. So I went for TD of A-star with the sales guy and I was satisfied with it. But after TD of A-star I decided to go for a TD of RITZ LXI too. The TD of RITZ changed my decision in minutes. The on road cost of A-star VXI here in Jaipur is 4.11 lac where as cost of RITZ LXI is 4.45 lac. so it was the matter of paying around 35k extra but the difference in product is amazing. I found RITZ more roomy both on front and rear seat. The boot is very large, sufficient for two big suitcases. The driving position is amazing. Gear shift is so smooth. the engine is very efficient. even I could take the car direct in 3rd gear with full AC. The engine is noiseless. when car on red lights u cant not guess the engine is off or on. there is no vibration in in side. and when u drive the car u feel like u r riding the road. It gives feel like a SUV. So it was a matter for me of only 35k extra but the reward was amazing. So i booked RITZ LXI and will take delivery after 3 days. When I came home and told my family that for what I went and what i did they all got surprised but that is my style !!!! The only problem is that Maruti guys are not offering any discount on this car and not even any free accessory. but what can be done !!?? So I will keep u posting the further developments.superb driving experience, efficient engine, speciousrear look, no discounts, not too many standard accessaries in LXI
