I purchased a Cielo GLX after reading lotza reviews over the net. I bought this car as it had all the features and costs u less than any used small car.
It does not have resale value. But I am not bothered as I am not planning to sell it. I use it for long drives and I really njoy the way she moves.
My car has done 70k kms.
Cielo is fully loaded with features. Its very spacious, comfortable and luxurious too. Very good handling. Highly recommendable for long drives.
Engine makes more noise (may be its old now), car is too long and hence difficult to drive or park. Mileage is an issue (7-8 in city. I drive in traffic hit , worst roads of B'lore). But I also have a gas kit and hence getting 160-175km for a 12kg commercial cylinder. Pickup is quite less. Could not cross 110kmph.
But I would like to point out one major drawback. Do not forget to get the insurance transferred to ur name within 14 days of registration. This is really important as no insurance company provides comprehensive package for cielo. So if u cross 14 days, the insurance company will not allow the comprehensive package of the previous owner to continue and u may just have to go for a 3rd party insurance. U will be putting ur car at risk.
Overall I don't repent for having bought this car (except that its owner's manual is lost).
