Hi guys
Well buying a car is indeed difficult. Which car to buy , where to buy and how to buy.
My budget was roughly around 4 lakhs not more than that, so I knew I could go for a Santro, Zen , Wagon r or Indica.
First thing that came to mind was santro and zen, I always liked the wagon-r but the moment I would look at that car I would hate that boxy look, but trust me if any you guys who is looking purely for average then go for a wagon-r if you are o.k with the looks, so wagon-r was out, next came the new zen when I went for the test drive and I sat in the car I decided I dont wanna buy this coz the size has shrunk, very uncomfortable, I am 5'11 so for me it was cramped.
I test drove the santro, it is a good car. So I was like ok lemme buy the santro but then suddenly my friend told why dont you atleast go and test drive the new indica, I said fine.
I went to han motors bandra, and believe me I fell in love with the car, simply superb, wonderful car. They call it a mini sedan and so it is. And I am not fooling around its been 2 months now since I bought the new Indica v2 lxi, fully loaded, it has got absolutely all the features you want in a car comfort space and space and space luxury.
The AC is wonderful its really chilling when you keep it on low (1) doesn't make any noise at all, does make some sound when you turn it too high as every car does but I dont think you would want to put it on high cuz the low power works wonderful.
Power steering makes it very comfortable to drive and when u keep indica ,santro and zen together you would like the shape of the new indica v2 maybe cuz of the rear spoiler.
The lxi variant would cost you roughly 4lakhs and the lower variant lsi will cost 3.5 lkhs if you want mumbai registration you don't have to worry Han Motors would give you free registration and insurance so the car would cost you same as the ex showroom price.
Excellent performer.
Lxi - power steering, power windows, central locking , spoiler , demister excellent ac etc. 386000
lsi - Everything except for power windows and central locking. 350000
If you wanna install music system I would suggest you sony explod cd and mp3 player sony explod f 5500 and two sony explod ovals at the back. And the performance would rock.
