Great decision. If you have 9L set aside, it would have been a very risky decision to buy an entry segment car like Spresso. Cars will stay with you for 10 years. Dont want it to he very cramped or barebones etc. It would have been a different story if you were constrained for budget.
I saved one lakh by buying a manual transmission but regret that decision very often. Shouldnt have saved money on the essentials. Nios is a much better car than spresso.
Why would you say that. In my mind both are quite similar. Similarly boaty suspension. Good after sales. Terrible safety. I would rather go car by car. Would chose creta over scross but would chose Baleno over i20. Hyundai has better interiors but what else. The service costs creep up quite rapidly in a Hyundai’s later years. Maruti service is not exactly cheap but certainly cheaper than Hyundai.
Might have gone for a Verna instead of Ciaz if the backseat wasnt so cramped. The engine isnt peppy at all and the ride quality is boaty but I really appreciate how fuss free a Maruti or a Hyundai ownership experience is.
As for Tata, the service is still a hit or a miss. Most people dont want to spend time finding a good garage.
That being said, we might need a car for my wife in some time and I think we will get the Altroz unless new Baleno actually gets 5 star rating.
