Hiiiiii,

After a long time … actually I thought of writing on so many topics…

But nothing framed well .. ofcrse I did nt even strted anything …..

So here we go…..

Actually so many of my frnds are just crazy abt cars…..

So they keep on telling me the mileage,how spacious it is ,how much pick up car has…
Wid ac or wid out ac.. maintenance cost.. where the spare parts are available…….
One of my frnd used to tell me finding the suitable car is tougher than finding suitable girl… :)

So let me help u to choose ur right………

So as I am not from mechanical background except 2 subjects in my curriculum …

Lets take experts advice…. From iit

me: ok lets strt from first
raj.flyingbird: k
me: i have 3 lakhs in my hand
raj.flyingbird: k
me: wanna buy a new car
raj.flyingbird: k
me: which is more spacious
raj.flyingbird: at 3 lacks you will get alto only
me: mileage
including ac
and i have a soft corner for ikon swif
raj.flyingbird: yeah, around 3.2 on road with A/C, power steering and front power windows
me: so wht u suggest
raj.flyingbird: icon and swift?
IKON is too old to buy now!
its an old generation car!
me: whats d down side 4 tht
raj.flyingbird: no ABS, air bags, bad name for braking system
SWIFT is a very good one
SWIFT diesel is my favourite car too!
it gives out huge torque at low rpm
me: what is ABS
raj.flyingbird: Anti Lock Braking System
it prevents the tires to be locked when the brakes are applied
great tech.innovation! a great safety feature!
me: i heard tht patrol cars are more efficient than diesel cars is it true
raj.flyingbird: no!
diesel are more efficient!
diesel cars generates more torque
than the petrol
only pro is that the initial investment for diesel cars is higher than the petrol
but, that difference will be covered by the cars in an year or so!
me: k
raj.flyingbird: swift diesel gives 16 kmpl on average while swift petrol gives 10kmpl average
me: ok what abt maintenance
raj.flyingbird: yeah, maintenance is a complicated topic!
but these days, all the diesel cars are made with better qulaity
that they dont need much of maintenance
me: u can consider tht i iwll take car of my as "My car my honey"
raj.flyingbird: dont understand!
ok, ok
me: :)
raj.flyingbird: if you maintain in that style...
then diesel as well the petrol are same for you!
raj.flyingbird: hmmmmm....
Indica!
large diesel engine in a small body!
drive at speeds more than 60 will be a nightmare
me: really my uncle has tht car and i guess he dnt have any complaints wid tht from last 4 years
raj.flyingbird: yeah, drive it at low speeds, doesnt trouble you!
me: but it is not spacious i cant sleep in tht car :)
raj.flyingbird: :)
that cannot be a good personal car
its good for cabs!
me: may be he is a bit slow person
raj.flyingbird: yeah, and also, people gets addicted to that kind of drive...
they feel like nothing better can be a good drive in a car
ask your uncle to use the swift for a week, he will not go back to the indica
me: r u officially endorsing swift :)
raj.flyingbird: no yaar! I found a huge torque from that car! turbochaged intercooled diesel engine in a small car
that's unbeleivable! 190 Nm torque at 2000 rpm
its like heaven for driving!
me: any other car which is worthfu 4 l my money
raj.flyingbird: yeah, GM's SPARK
MARUTI A-STAR
WAGON R
me: mm wagon r
raj.flyingbird: Indica Vista has a very good appearence both inside and outside...lack of ABS made it useless
me: i like it too
raj.flyingbird: yeah, that's a very spacious car!
but only in vertical direction!
that means, it gives more space for your head!
suits for children well!
me: whats catch fr wagon r
raj.flyingbird: what?
5.4 lacks high end model
on road price



Forgot to mention his name is raj and flying bird is his company.

He gave me almost 21 pages document wid a complete analysis of all small cars ….

I am just pasting the analysis of wagon r, swift diesel , swift patrol which are my favs…

MARUTI SWIFT:
After the Maruti Zen diesel done well in particular areas of the country, now, retracted from production, Maruti again launched into diesel segment with the Swift.
Swift has the both petrol and diesel variants.
Petrol:
Swift petrol comes with 1298cc, 4 cylinders, and 4 valves each, MPFI controlled by ECM engine.
It generates an 87 hp @ 6000 rpm of peak power and 113 N-m @ 4500 rpm of peak torque.
It has a wide chassis which makes this car very rigid at high speeds!
In fact, this is a high end car of the small car market, with huge engine configuration, heavy duty steering, suspension systems, body, and chassis.
It has an on road price of 4.8 lacks to 6.10 lacks.
But the VXi model of this car is coming at 5.4 lacks. The Zxi is available at 6.1 lacks.
What we lose on the VXi is, for 70k, tilt steering, driver seat height adjuster, integrated audio system, rear window wiper, front fog lamps, alloy wheels, dual front air bags, ABS with EBD, keyless entry.
All these features are more than worthy for buying at 70k.
Buying the VXi is not at all suggested for obvious reasons of lack of the above features.
With this huge engine, mileage is only 10 kmpl at an average, which is very disappointing!
But for those rich people who like the small cars, this is definitely a good buy!
Power assisted steering, McPherson struts and coil springs; gas filled shock absorbers, 5 speed and 1 reverse manual gear box, same as the wagon R, but heavy duty.
ABS with EBD is available for high end (ZXi) that too as an optional. Hence this Swift petrol is not a good buy in the same way as the Hyundai i20’s high end model.
But if there comes a fight between these two, Swift petrol will be the winner.

Swift Diesel:
Here is the giant.
1248cc, 4 cylinder, 16 valve each, common rail diesel injected (CRDi), turbocharged with intercooler engine on a small car! That’s really huge!
Can the body of swift can take this monster engine under its hood? Yes, happily, with a very little noise and vibrations problems! That the built of this car’s body, chassis and dynamics! Its kerb weight is 1075 kgs!
This car is definitely a car enthusiast’s piece.
The engine generates 75 hp @ 4000 rpm of peak power and a peak torque of 190 N-m @ 2000 rpm.
Just look at the torque figure! Its more than many large petrol cars and even some SUV’s at 2000 rpm! If added an intercooler and a turbocharger to this engine with a CRDi, churns out a flat torque curve, and that’s a heaven for driving!
It’s on road price is 5.5 lacks to 6.1 lacks.
Mileage of this car is unbelievable 17 kmpl on an average!
What else one has to look for? If you have an idea of buying a car with a budget of 5 lacks, borrow 1 more lack and buy this car! It’s really worthy of it! The mileage of this car will compensate the initial investment in the first one year itself!
The engine of this car is internationally acclaimed fiat’s Quadrajet engine. Suzuki bought the engines from fiat for this vehicle, and later changed its name to DDiS.
Interesting thing is Maruti launched another vehicle called Maruti Ritz on 15th may, with the same DDiS engine.
TATA has bought the same engine from fiat and using it under the same name! Quadrajet! It’s fitted in TATA Vista’s diesel variant.
Fiat itself launched the Palio MultiJet diesel car with the same QuadraJet engine.
Vista QuadraJet and Fiat Stilo MultiJet are available at around 5.4 lacks, but no sign of ABS! These two guys have to think about it seriously. But if they add ABS, their prices also touch the Swift or the Ritz prices.
It seems like we are not available with a good diesel car in the price range of 5 to 5.4 lacks.
Either Swift or else go for a good mileage petrol car! That’s the small car market as of now!

Wagon R:
Wagon R has the option of dual fuel car! They call it Wagon R Duo.
On-road price of this car is 3.7 lacks to 5.14 lacks. Let us consider only the high end car!
Though this car comes into the small car segment, this has been designed with a different purpose.
It has a length of 3.52 m, width of 1.49 m, height of 1.69 m, and a wheel base of 2.36 m.
That means a lot more spacious than the other models of the Maruti only in the vertical direction! That makes this car to move into an unbeatable segment (spacious small car).
It has the same features of Zen Estilo in every aspect.
1061cc, 4 cylinder engine, 16 valves, MPFI, controlled by a 32-bit ECM. Peak power is 64 hp @ 6200 rpm, and peak torque is 84 N-m @ 3500 rpm. Same as the Estilo’s engine.
Electronic power steering, McPherson struts with anti roll bar at the front and coil spring, gas filled shock absorbers at the rear for the suspension system.
ABS braking system in the high end model, Power windows in the high end model.
Same gear box as the Estilo, 5 speed manual gear box, and automatic transmission in the high end!
In fact to say, they have used the Wagon R bench and features for Estilo! Wagon R has come first!
This was a big hit in the market, and no competition till now!
If one is looking for a spacious car in the small car segment, there is no other option but Wagon R!
In this price range comes, Swift, TATA Vista, i10, Ritz but none of them are real competitors for this car in space! Of course, if you are looking for looks and style also, better look for other options!
In fact to say, this model is also a little bit out of dimensions just like the Zen Estilo, but never had a compliant of going out of balance. This means that, those complaints against the Zen Estilo are fake.

So here presenting winners………

1. MARUTI 800 2.5 lacks on road.
2. MARUTI ALTO 3.3 lacks on road.
3. GM SPARK 1.0 LS 4.0 lacks on road.
4. MARUTI ZEN ESTILO 4.4 lacks on road. …..ABS available from here.
5. GM SPARK 1.0 LT 4.8 lacks on road.
