AtheK Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 2 minutes ago, SuperT said: Jeep Compass is a brilliant car but overpriced by 3-4 lakhs. It is a very bad situation to be a buyer right now - due to shortages there are hardly any discount and really long waiting period. Tiguan doesn't make sense now that the Kodiaq has launched. I dont know why they are not considering the Karoq and T-Roc seriously for the Indian market. Brilliant cars but they keep the supplies limited to 1k-2k every year in CBU format which hurts the pricing. There is a lack of good options in the 15-20 lakhs segment and the Karoq and T-Roc are amazing in that segment if they can assemble them in India and take the Indian market seriously. Ya Karoq would have been perfect, Kodiaq is so expensive, but then it is well priced in it's segment. I really like the tata twins, but that Infotainment system is an eye sore, so tough to get osmething which is near perfect. If you really want to look at something near perfect, it has to be the Petrol Turbo Creta top end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General city usage, don't expect it to run more than 10kms a day. Only on some occassions, maybe more than that. Space isn't a problem, majorly only 2 people will be in a car at once. Only thing I am looking for is a good sound system, a great console, Carplay/Android Auto which is really fluid (not sure if Indian options have wireless options?). The last one is absolutely the priority. Other than that, a decent mileage with good ride quality and experience. I am not even interested in Kia and Hyundai. Haven't tested Skoda ever but have heard horrible stories about the service situation. VW is really good but the hardly the console lives upto it. MG Hector is an option because my friend has one and likes it a lot plus has decent safety rating. General city usage and Hector / Slavia etc. won't go hand in hand. Do check out Nissan Kicks. Its a great product (marred by shitty marketing). You will be surprised by its turning radius. Bonus point - its a slow moving model and hence you can negotiate decent discounts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If hyundai can keep the new Tucson priced at almost the same price ballpark as current one, I will pick the Diesel top end, the interiors look smashing, Diesel engine is very powerful, Should be the best possible way to sign off the IC engines before we make switch to EV as next car.

Agreed. Creta's exterior styling just doesn't sit well with me. Also, I think the design wont age well. I love the VAG group cars styling so understated yet striking. Tucson has always been VFM and if they price it right they will have another car with 10 months waiting and bumper sales. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either a sedan or a compact SUV like Seltos. I had Honda Civic in mind but it has been discontinued and not sure when the new version will come. A hybrid is what I am targetting. Let me know if there are any suggestions or if some new car is coming out soon. Budget? Your usage demands a petrol only. Once budget is confirmed then only suggestions will be of value.

Typical Govt. job, academic background situation. Need a decent car because two people need to get out the house now, the new one being me. So targetting 20-25L. Wouldn't mind spending less, lol. I don't see any value in going more than that. Until and unless there is a real tangible benefit in going over that, not gonna spend more. That's why Honda Civic was checking all the points. I don't like Creta, hate the look. Taigun is really boring, interior wise. Tucson is gonna be closer to 30L. Can consider Slavia and Kushaq.

Sach4life Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) We bought Ex model Petrol (2nd lowest variant) of Creta few months back. Even that has wireless Android Auto/Apple Carplay. I assume top models would obviously have it. Edited January 19, 2022 by Sach4life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harsh1387 Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 If you are checking Slavia then check out Honda City too. Almost all needed features, great engine, Honda reliability and it is really spacious. Harrier and Safari only comes in diesel. For your usage and NCR ban scenario stick with petrol only. XUV700 could have been a good option but waiting is too long. Similar is for Creta, Seltos. Kushaq might have less waiting. Compass is overpriced plus Keep service is a nightmare. How about Hector? The only issue it has is low mileage but as your usage is quite less that's a non issue. Otherwise very good engine and all creatures comforts. Do check it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

black_Scorpion Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 Instead of Hector, try Astor Turbo TOP end. I was blown away by Astor build quality and interior.. Its build like couple of segments higher. Back seat is a big let down and panoramic sunroof is covered by thin cloth thing, other than that there is not much draw back with Astor...

Nothing beats the looks, features and resale value. I have paid through the nose for servicing my Tata Aria. They literally wait for your warranty to get over and then start finding errors that previously werent there and cost a lot to fix. I am sorry to say that Tata Motors is a really great car manufacturer but a very poor service provider. I rejected Nexon EV for the same reason. I cry every time I fill petrol but I will not touch another Tata for a decade more. My relatives in Noida bought a Tata Harrier after riding my Aria (it is a great car) and they were blown away with the quality. But their new car was literally in the garage for 6 months. Skoda:- driver's car. sh*t service. Poor resale. Honda:- Can close shop anytime. Tata:- Great cars. Poor service. Maruti:- Lel car. Hyundai:- Shitty design. Kia:- FTW.

People think Honda might be the next company to exit the Indian market after Ford. No new launches, just facelifts There is no significant upgrades or a WOW factor in any of their cars and let's not forget the demand for SUVs here.
