Better Stay with 1.3 MJD Family, some excellent VFM Options

Even with Changes, its the same boring car even after changes. Look for better options in any of the 1.3 MJD family car, for evey budget 3.7 Lakhs to 8.5 Lakhs

The 1.3 MJD from Tata-FIAT has stormed budget Cars market. Like "A" Segment, "B" segment,there should be a 1.3 MJD Segment.

7 Cars with different strengths are analysed:

1. LINEA 1.3 MJD. It is the largest, most comfortable, heaviest safest and also the fastest..!! Engines is retuned for 90 BHP (75-80 in others) to cruise upto 175 KMPH. Its style, features, safety etc. are better than some of higher "D" segment vehicles. Best part is service interval is long 15000 Km. Running cost is very economical for the package of the size,

2 & 3. Swift-D & D'Zire-D. Hottest selling cars. Long waiting period tells the story of success. Although space is cramped in both cars. Maruti has retuned engine (DDIS) for good mileage. This has resulted in frequent service interval of 7500-8000 Km. FIAT 1.3 MJD is the biggest seller in these forms.

4.Grande PUNTO. Best driving pleasure is in this form. Good power is delivered at low RPM. The cabin space is largest in upper "B" segment, also after Linea GP has Max space in 1.3 MJD family. Hatch style makes it easy to steer in city. High ground clearance is an added advantage. Mileage is lower than Maruti peers for this safe, heavy car. Long service interval of 15000 Km is a big advantage.

5. Vista 1.3 Quadrajet. Best Value for Money Diesel car. Good space, economical maintenance, solid build make it excellent all round package.

6. RITZ-D. The most spacious among Maruti stable. Although styling is not the best of appeal...It offers good mix of Power, Comfort, Mileage mix. Only draw back can be its tallboy design and falling rear that makes it risky, at high speed. Its good as comfortable city car for a small family, driving pleasure is completely missing.

7. PALIO 1.3 MJD. Even though, it is the oldest, still is the most beautiful looking (after Linea). It has fallen victim of Premier Auto legacy and FIAT's poor engine selection 1242 & 1596 Petrol & heavy 1910 Diesel till 2007 and poor service network before 2007.

Tata-FIAT has taken care of added safety with standard Twin Headlamps and Rear Fog lamps. Hope Maruti will follow.

RITZ-D or any other car, 1.3 MJD offers the Best choice to buyers.

Expect 8th car soon...Indigo VISTA 1.3 MJD by Diwali.
