Looks like my replacement car is on the stable

Looks my replacement car has finally arrived to my 1996 model Esteem. I could not find any other real replacement car other than the first Generation V-Tec Honda City. All the other cars that was giving exceptional features when compared to my 1996-Esteem were above 10 lacs. My other choices are Verna Diesel and Optra Magnum Diesel.

I would have been very happy to see if I can fit an automatic climatic Control(in technical terms just a temperature controlled or thermstat fixed A/C) and improved Ground Clearance.

The 2nd Generation Honda City used to hit every speed breaker with 4 ppl and many of them with me just being a driver. This is a wacky drawback for any car. I see that this car too has only 160mm ground clearance.  I hope there can be some provision to fit a larger tyre/rim or spacer for the suspension without spoiling the suspension.

I would expect a mileage of 13 kmpl in the city and 16kmpl on highways which would mean 30% higher efficancy to an SX4.
