^^Personally, I don't like even stereos to be pre-fitted. I like to be able to fit the accessories in my budget catering to my exact requirements.
 
^^ thing is my comp. is paying for the car(just the car not accessories bought separately). So why spend extra ??
 
I think the Skoda Fabia is the costliest small car. But lots of people on team-bhp have complained about Skoda's expensive maintenance.

If your company is bearing maintenance costs, a Fabia can be considered. Otherwise, you can consider a fully loaded Getz, Swift or Palio.

Note that people have complained about availability of Palio replacement parts. Even replacing a door lock has proved problematic. Maybe some palio owners here can comment.

No offence !

But I still don't understand how ppl can buy the Dzire !!! :S

NOBODY wanted a STRETCHED SWIFT !!! :no:

It just doesn't look right !

@smoky004

If it's a small car you want,it's a small car you should get...

Get a Getz or Palio..

Or maybe the Chevy SRV...

No point in recommending a Fabia,if spares are that expensive !

I second that :cool2: . The car looks so damn ugly. If it wasn't for the maruti badge, no one would've given it a second glance. Just goes to show you how important after sales service is in the auto industry.

So finally after careful consideration,decided to go for ford fiesta.Wanted a small car but at that price range only small car available is palio and since it's rather expensive to maintain, decided to go for fiesta.
 
One final question :-

How good is this GPS system :-

MAPMYINDIA GPS Based Infotainment System

Based on sophisticated Global Positioning System (GPS) technology, the MapmyIndia Navigator’s “map guidance and voice instructions” will guide you from the beginning of your journey, till you reach your destination.

Feature

Sleek device with 3.5” colour touch screen.

Entertainment: music, movies, photos.

Real-time turn-by-turn navigation with graphical map guidance supported by voice instructions.

Real-time location information – where you are and the direction you are headed to.

Real-time distance and time till the next turn, and to the final destination.

Destination address – Can be a locality, street name, point of interest (POI) or a remote village.

Point-of-interest search – Easy to locate points of interest (E.g. Your nearest Ford showroom, service center, petrol pump, ATMs, restaurants, landmarks etc) near location, along the way or near the destination.

Auto re-routing and detour – In case the suggested turn is not taken, it automatically re-routes in real time based on the shortest distance to the destination. Also has an option to plan a trip with specific roads to be avoided.

Trip Planning – Allows to set-up an entire trip with multiple destinations before starting.

Personalized – Store favorite addresses which can be accessed directly. Also saves last trip, home, office and favorite locations for quick reference.

Realtime maps covering more than 150 cities by 2008.

I badly need a gps unit and wanted to know if this is any good.

Also suggest a decent audio system for my car.(would like to plug my ipod so should have the req. port) Also state the cost of such a system.
