After doing a lot of research I booked i10 magna 1.2.I exchanged my alto for an exchange bonus of 15k and also insurance of 14k is offered free. It turned out to be very good deal for me. Before booking I researched all other cars except i10.On the budget of 4to 4.5 lacs I considered Maruthi ritz, Astar, Swift, wagon R, Tata indica vista(TDI) and santro.
Ritz: Good engine, I did not like the styling of back.
Astar: Very less Interior space.Other wise a very peppy engine and good handling.
Swift:Price factor and waiting period.
Wagon R: It seems to be bit outdated now.
Vista(TDI): Concerns over maintainance.
Santro: Good car, Style is bit old now.
Then at last I took a test drive of i10 magna 1.2.The over all styling is good.The interiors are simply luxurious. The kappa engine is very smooth and has great pick up in initial gears. I compared feature wise with Ritz at the price point.i10 magna 1.2 had all 4 power windows, body colured mirrors, tilt steering, very rich interiors and also got free accessories like key less entry, 3m sun films and all basic accessories like wheel cover and mud flaps.
Its week since I am driving the car. I am completely enjoying it.
The power steering and ac is simply awesome. When I stop at signals I don’t realise that the engine is on.
