Bought a Practical Car with loads of Value for Money

It took me a month or so to finalise my new car.

Searched lots of reviews on Carwale, Team BHP, overdrive :- in short did lots of research.

Took test drives of Ritz Lxi, Swift Lxi,Beat LS,Figo EXI,Vista Safire.

In the first place made my mind to go for a petrol car since I had running of not more than 1000 kms in a month, outlisted VDI, Duratorq and Quadrajet.

Budget was on top with nothing above 4.5 On Road. So had to choose amongst 5 named above.

Ritz and Swift - Name itself was enough, but was more inclined towards Swift. Thought too many swift's on road.. Will sound like a taxi one day. Ritz was ok.

Beat - was not so spacious, as I have a family of 5 adults.

Figo - same old fusion like look which took a beating in India, and a new engine - bit confusing.

Vista - All together a car to be. Many people said do not go for TATA petrol - no resale and blah, blah... but who cares about resale when I wanted to use a car for minimum 5-6 years.

Safire engine comes from Fiat family, so was sure about less maintenance and good FE.

My car is just 1 day old and still not registered with RTO.. I had to take according to the muhurat. Since in India, mostly cars do become a part of family so everything has to be perfect.

Can't say more about cons right now.. I am sure there would be some as every car does have.. B'coz I believe if God can't make every human perfect how can human make things perfect.

It costed me 4.15 On Road with 2 Yrs extended warranty..

Will update after 15-20 days of running..

Hi,

 

Just completed with the 1st service at 1450 kms.. The FE is low but as per the service centre I have to bear it for 6 mths until the first oil change takes place.. The Wasan service centre is too good.. I have made a right choice in selecting the dealer.. My wiper got replaced due to a small problem, my complete locks of the car got changed because the plastic near ignition key was broken.. Trust me it is a guarantee and not a warranty.. Coz I had to pay only Rs.75/- for my first service..
