I heard VW polo/vento cant cross 140kmph. They have factory locked or something. Correct me though.
M the kind of who drives at an average 130/140kmph and shoots to 180 or + and only interested in sedans.

Have done 190 odd in a friend's Polo TSI so this is strictly not true.
 
you havent said if you want a automatic or not. also you have said low running cost..
Manual.
I was charged (or duped :D) 1K for the basic accessories which normally the dealers throws as 'free gift' - Mats, Mud flaps etc. Anyway that was during the launch time and there was too much hoopla about it (plus no competition and long waiting period) - I was told 'No Offers or Free Gift' :(
Will have to get in to that marwari mode while purchasing i guess. "Itne mein hi aur kya kya milenga? " J/K

The chart which i posted in Page 1 also says the same but i can confirm it can do 160kmph.
 
elite i20 , jazz , polo gt tsi , punto evo all are good options..
polo gt and punto evo are for enthusiasts..
jazz has an excellent petrol engine.. nobody can beat honda in Naturally Aspirated engines.
 
if you are buying it for dad why even care if it goes to 140 or 180. imo driving above 100 in india is not just illegal but is inviting death. too many risks and these cars arent meant to be driven with the thin tires and poor brakes on indian model cars.

Woah. Can you point me to any link who might have experienced this?
@mathrisk Looking at Sport SE petrol. I read people complaining about Hyndai SC ripping customer on spares. True?

Both are diesel models.
Both have are nearly 5 and 4 months old.
Serviced exactly in time.We were discussing the same when we were driving from Mahabaleshwar.
The response times are pathetic under 3k rpm.Certainly lag I pretty well don't know if it will be resolved with servicing.

The Asta performed better than sportz though which was a bit of shock!

I can perhaps say that Micra has much better response time comparatively.

Both of my friends are excellent drivers so this might not be user generated issue.

There's no link just user experience


Edit: this is the thread i guess http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/india...-long-term-maintenance-service-practices.html
Is the sportz a petrol and the asta a diesel or vice versa? Otherwise both have the same drivetrain and should perform identically. Otherwise something is seriously wrong with one of the cars.
Both are diesel
Don't know what's the catch there having identical drivetrain but a difference in performance.

I felt lag while transitioning from 3rd gear to 4th.
I jave to accelearte to 3k rpm for smooth driving.
In fourth and fifth it performs nicer.
3rd gear is the worst.

-----
VW Polo on the other hand is only better for GT model

Baleno is 100 kg lighter than swift with same engine.I have no idea how it performs on highway.

So if you can buy S-Cross in your budget buy without any second thoughts.

The Showroom MoFo apparently said something today about i10 grand Asta, My father is reluctant to even check out i20 Elite sportz which is kinda 40-50k more.

Will have to convince a 20% better car is always better. Tough dealing with Dads you know, They don't want to listen to kids.

And kids don't listen to their dad's either
:rolleyes:
 
Rubbish as in looks. Agreed.

Not in terms of performance/ride.
I10 is too soft and rolls massively around corners. Not as bad as the previous gen but still not great. The steering has zero feel. It's okay if a car is just a means of transport. However it has absolutely zero driver involvement. Brio is exactly the opposite - rubbish ride and impractical boot but amazing fun to drive.

Looks depend on individual preferences. Brio is bloody awesome to drive. Can humiliate cars 2-3 segments above on the highway.
but majority do find it ugly , the rear looks like the old maruti 800 from the early 90s. My gf has a brio , nothing so special about it. how does it "humiliate" another a car 2 segment above ? plz name that car as well for our knowledge
 
After Hiccups and so much confusion, Paid for Swift VDi ABS.
Can i get a comment from any one who has bought car accessories from 3party. Price difference is definitely huge from 25-40%.
Also car dealer person says installing an reverse gear horn will void warranty in some cases. True???
