Ritz without a doubt..

Look at previous threads to see what to look for when you buy a car..

After sales, second hand value, spares all play a much more important part..You'l regret if you just consider the looks..

Well isnt hyundai competitive to maruti in terms of spares,A.S.S? If thats the case why do we santros,i10's in large nos on roads?pardon me am ignorant to spares,maintenance costs...

generally ladies prefer to drive i10...excellent VFM, good space, doesn't feel too big in corners and u-turns. with new look, it's newer than others :)
Yup,i feel the same too..she said she feels confident with i10,she still has TD the i10 though...

Newi10 kappa2 (VTVT) engine Magna 1.2 ltr will cost u appx 4.6 lkhs (on road), Ritz and i10 r equally well its just matter of personally choice. For someone Ritz looks r cool and others its just opposite. i10 has better interiors Maruti really sucks when it comes to interiors. Take 2-3 test drives before finalizing any of the discussed cars. Both companies have good ASS, good resale value and fuel efficiency. So its purely matter of buyers choice/preferences/likes/dislikes.
i10 kappa2 is expensive...for 4.5lks we could get the i10 era(on road)...
 
^ the 1.2 engine is better than 1.1 ERA cause it has better millage good efficiency and more horse power and nice new feature p.s the 1.1 is OBSOLETE right now but not worth and it is bit cheap like maurthi zen or 800 :P

P.S the Ritz is replacement same engine from swift but copy cat and not worth and the full model vxi come with power windows and few feature but no free music player

so the hyundai i10 give away free stuff music player mud flab cover and much mpre :)

Isnt i10 era based on Irde not worth the money?Ritz am aware,the specs are same as swift...Would have considered swift if atleast the base model comes within the budget...we arent getting freebies with i10 except for mudflas,floor mats..

I guess in Mumbai it should be around 4.7 lks (on road), consult the Car Financing Company regarding 20k addition.

Difference between both is
iRDE is 1.1 ltr which generates 66.7 bhp @5500rpm & VTVT(kappa) is 1.2lts engine which generates 78.9bhp @ 5200 rpm besides that 1.1 ltr engine has SOHC (Single Overhead Camshaft) valvetrain and 1.2 ltr kappa has DOHC (Double Overhead Camshaft) valvetrain

Will DOHC help in good fuel efficiency as compared to SOHC?i have seen the spec of i10 era which says its IRDe2,any changes being implemented in IRDe2?
 
I think you can rule out the Beat. It has a cramped back seat and poor rear visibility. (To me, it feels more adept to be a two seater like the A-Star but that's just my opinion.)

I don't know much about the Ritz as I've sat in it a long time ago and I did not like it then.

The i10 has a nice, soft suspension but can be a little bumpy at times. If you can get around that weird console mounted gear, hyper sensitive steering and hard seat cushion material, its quite an ok city car. IMO, the Santro is a better buy for lesser money.
 
If it's for a lady, bro i10 is the best choice and there is something about that car which make girls to like it even and don't know what it is :P

Besides the fun thing, i have driven all 3 cars but as am a boy i ended up with swift ... it's more about boyinsh feel haha.

i10 is the best choice here as even with the base model you will get manual central locking and front power windows, which is really great and girls obviously need ease. I will suggest you to strongly go with i10 and don't forget to negotiate there is lot of room for negotiation in hyundai cars specially when it comes to free goodies like stereo etc.

Santro am being told is too outdated,also its going to get replaced with newer version next year..

Bro,we are not getting any discounts on i10..also dealer is offering cash discount of 4k or else free mudflaps,floor mats...some discount on accessories if we buy from him...Also i did insist on PDI before we get the car registered..i dint know what made him anger he told us its not necessary,its being done by car companies before it leaves the factory..i insisted on PDI,since have seen the T-BHP threads on getting the PDI done..should i trust the dealer?:huh:
 
Who the hell he thinks he is ..??

To hell with the person if he doesnt honors what is the norm !!

If that's the attitude of his.. showing displeasure to the customer over ANY issue.. what might happen if u need to (God forbid) invoke any part replacement program..?

Or anything goes awry during service or any other such stuff..??

You should have marked the line clearly for him and shd have pressed the pt home to lay off. Unacceptable behaviour.

Share the name of the dealer here and other forums as well to see if the dealer is shady or not. The nerve of it.

Well i thought of it..i did clearly tell him that i need to see the car before getting it registered,i could see that anger on his face..also he asked me several times why you need to see the car,i said its just for my satisfaction..

the name of dealer is shreenath hyundai located at andheri..the other thing that pissed me off was one of is sales guy whom we had interacted with a week before,had said they have corporate discount,now when i said corp disc is offered,

the sales manager there was some miscommn on our part we dont have corp discount..our management policy has stopped providing corp disc...i was surprised how come within a week they stopped offering corp disc..

Mate there are so many Hyundai dealers in Mumbai. Go somewhere else if he has such indifferent attitude towards customers. These days in India when it comes to cars, it's the car companies who want our attention and not the other way around. Checking the car before registration is your right and is very much necessary to check it thoroughly like how it is mentioned in the PDI checklist in T-bhp, infact many people even take a TD of the car before registration, although most dealers won't allow this, PDI is a must anyway. Also check the manufacturing month and everything, make sure you're getting a recently manufactured model, since the new i10 is just released, this won't be an issue though.

there are many dealers of hyundai..am aware of it..but i checked out shreenath after following few threads of t-bhp where they had mentioned that service is good,staff is courteous..
i do agree that staff was friendly&was being attended properly but this PDI thing made me think twice before i buy one from shreenath,also checked out modi,almost similar offerings like shreenath but ROI for loan was expensive unlike shreenath though both of them had tieups with the same bank...:huh:

will need TE people's help,whether should i go ahead with shreenath?Any other good hyundai dealer in mumbai?

Also while checking out ritz which was done at spectra located goregaon,i was being assured by sales guy whatever checklist, you are free to do so..:)

i am almost inclined towards i10...

--- Updated Post - Automerged ---

Took the TD of i10..the car is superb..my sis is happy with the handling,also the visiblity is good..

also told the dealer that am the member T-BHP&if needed i will bring them to get PDI done :P..he has agreed&has told me to visit their vasai stockyard&get the PDI checklist done..

So for now all set for i10...:)
 
Have booked i10 era..:)Now need to know on accessories list..must have accessories for the car..which brand music system?under body treatment is done by company dinitrol?is it good??

Muisc system am being told by dealer that hyundai deck with speakers..but i insisted on sony..is it good decision?

Keyless entry again hyundai but i asked for autocop but the dealer doesnt have them..now should i buy hyundai??i asked him the same but he told it will void the warranty..is it true??

please help guys..thanks..:)
 
Don't go for free mattresses, air fresheners, mud flaps etc. you can get them outside, that to cheaper and better quality. also you can choose the colour. instead get cash discount.
Under-body coating : i trust my local garage with cans of Wurth, done in front of me, than the dealer.

Music system : go for OEM one only if you get controls on steering wheel. otherwise go to a trusted accessory shop and at least get Pioneer ( better than Sony ).

keyless entry : go for OEM if warranty is an issue. I think Hyundai doesn't matter. but recheck. Don't believe dealer, he'll always want to make his sale.
Some companies don't mind installation of Autocop etc when claiming warranty.
double check for Hyundai.
use google and Team-bhp.com

In short, buy least no. of accessories from the dealer. you get better alternatives outside.

have booked the car today..Going to get following accessories from dealer antirust coating,keyless entry,sun film,sony music sytem(since he told they wont do aftermarket fittings,also warned us that if they found anything suspicious they wont honor warranty)..PU coating,floor mats all for 25k...
 
congrats on the booking, dint see this earlier, else i wouldve suggested an automatic transmission vehicle, especially if being driven in mumbai, and that too by a lady. The new A-star automatic. But the new i10 is a hot seller!!! congrats!
 
An update to this thread..took delivery of i10 on 18th..Next day itself,the keyless entry had problems,the doors wouldnt lock..called shreenath,they were least bothered to hear my problem&told me direclty speak with the concerned person..the person said he would be standing near xyz location..then after reaching that xyz location,told me to take several right&left turns&he was standing in some isolated place,got it rectified,fittings were not done properly at the showroom.

In short i am unhappy with shreenath hyundai,please avoid them...i hate their tag line caring for you always..in the process of locating the person,i also got dent in bumper which needs to fixed..
