I hate this deo. It really burns the armpit and has a very strong odour.

Totally agree... I just attended over this weekend in Bangalore. And I must tell you that while it might work for a few weak hearted people and women (especially fighting petty relationship issues) it's NOT going to work for all. And most of the time, they are involved in their cheap marketing ta read more...

Commented on sam_mac's review
I totally agree with your rating. It's a good engine and transmission box put in a great exterior design but indianized cheap plastics/fabric/carpet screwed up the whole thing. Also, the rear A/c went is almost sitting on the private parts of the middle passenger lol.
Commented on robinhood_1700's review
I liked its engine and exterior looks. Back seat space, pathetic dashboard/door panel plastics and fabric is a major let down. If they had spent another lakh on that I would have definitely bought this car though getting used to misplaced controls will take some time.

@manojnair.m, sorry.. I read your comment only now. You can use one of those online tools such as http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html to do proper upszzing without changing the circumference by +/- 2 to 4%. @subinp, as you rightly said, I could only talk from my test drive experience.

In compression/cooling technologies I would think that Hitachi is the best! However, as you rightly pointed out the after sales service may be a problem unless you live in big cities in India. I hope they improve it. I am planning to buy this model soon along with a 1.2 ton split A/C from Hitachi read more...
@Raju it's a tough decision though you have to preempt i10 first - it's not a good option if you are looking for minimum luxury. Out of the remaining two, Swift is a peppy car which is fun to drive but the backseat space is very less. Moreover, due to very low wheelbase, the stability will not be as read more...

I would like to try the diesel model as well, just to get a feel of how much torque it has :) Great review buddy..
@luv2drive, thank you for sharing your ownership experiences and agreeing with my views :) @aukulkar, thanks buddy. I am not really an expert in automobiles but trying my best to write what I have observed during my test drives.
Commented on cooldebo's review
Almost all fords have this problem of having tighter power steering which is actually good at higher speeds but not very convenient in the city. I used to like my Ikon's PS thought which was hydrollic and not electronic. However, gear shift is really bad. As for the visibility thing, I have the same read more...
@haroo, did you already buy one? If not, my pick would be an Optra Magnum Diesel that provides comfort, decent mileage, amazing power and it's packed with features as well. I wouldn't recommend a Corolla Altis J as it's heavily underloaded when it comes to features. You may go for it only if it's a read more...
@praveen, Sorry for the delayed reply. Did you pick a car already? Nope, I haven't driven the Diesel version of Fiesta. In general, I haven't driven many diesel cars ;-)
@Sid_na77, Definitely most other cars (in all segments) are costlier than Maruti Suzukis to maintain. i20 is no different.
@Navaneetforu, shall try to get my hands on punto as well, time permitting. @skm1971, i20 and Fabia have their own plus-minus points. Both comes loaded with features but none is a clear winner. I only wish fabia had a little more power in which case I would have chosen it.

Nice review buddy and congrats on your first car. When you go for Marutis you get mileage, reliability and good after sales service. As you rightly said, any Maruti (Swift or WagonR or Ritz...) unless you go for the heighest configuration they will deprive you off bare necessities such as headrests, read more...
@TELUGUS, You are right. I hope the CRDi power plant is a good one. Yet to test drive it... @Dreamz, The interiors are not exactly laxurious but some features that come with only with upper C-seg cars are already present in i20. That's what I meant :) Just like you, I hate all Korean products.. read more...
@Dreamz, Thanks for agreeing with my views. No doubt about the Skoda brands. Unfortunately, European companies in India do not seem to care about the after sales part - it's true with Skoda and Fiat. @firstcar, thanks for your compliments :) In fact, I am a blogger - just trying my hands on revi read more...
@Dreamz, In fact, all cars in India are overpriced for their build quality and features offered. I would assume that a Maruti 800 should come below 1.5 lakhs as they don't have any good quality steel on it :) Tata cars... hmm, no comments.
