Thanks a lot for your valuable comments and encouragement
Rated on gthomas2010's review
Hello rkg_007. In my view point, petrol swift is the good choice for you. Since your average running is around 950km per month, your approximate monthly expense for fuel (petrol) is around Rs.6,100, if petrol price is calculated at Rs.70/lr and vehicle mileage as 11km/lr. If you go with a dies Read More...
Excellent Subigm. Glad to hear that you too have similar thoughts
Hi lakshman396, Excellent! Wish you all the best with your first car.
Dear snp2053 Please find my comments inline to your query I am driving santro xing oct 2006 model. It has run 63000 kms in 4.7 yrs. [joeisfrank] It is almost time for you to sell the car. It is best to sell the car between 5 - 6 years. But expect a low price for your vehicle due to the steap Read More...
Hi all, I have edited this review because the cost of fuel has gone up by a good percentage from the time I published this article. Even after updating the fuel cost, I still feel petrol car is still the good choice for people whose average monthly running is not more than 1,250 KMS. Lookin Read More...
Hi mikestar20, Whether petrol or diesel engines if not used for long time is not good. The new generation diesel engines are good. But it is always better to disconnect the batteries so that the batteries last long.
Hello VSRao, since your average monthly running is 1,500KMS, I feel it is better for you to go for a petrol car. When it comes to dzire, I've driven diesel variant and not petrol. Diesel one is extremely good, powerful. Not sure whether the brakes are powerful enough compared to the engine power. Th Read More...
Hello janak.porwal, Thanks a lot. In your driving scenario, petrol car is the best option for you. All the best!
hello Shanky, Thanks a lot for writing the comment. The maintenance cost of petrol and diesel cars will never be the same unless the wear and tear is the same. Especially in the case of Ford Fiesta, I have two friend's of mine who had fiesta diesel and had to fight with the dealers for the high ma Read More...
Hello Monty, you said it right. The feeling that we get while filling diesel at gas stations is really great. We feel such a relief. Since I have a diesel vehicle, I understand what you are saying. Many times I've even felt that I'm saving a lot by having a diesel vehicle. But then the smile on our Read More...
Hi Bluffmaster, I agree with your point that diesel vehicles will have a better resale value than petrol. But we should also take it into consideration that you have already paid Rs.1 lakh more to buy the diesel car compared to the petrol variant of the same model.
Hello Arnold, the car that you take as example does not make a difference if you are comparing the diesel and petrol variants of the same model. My review was not comparing cars, it was meant for diesel or petrol, which is the best buy for segments of people.
Hi Sandip, Have you done under body coating for your car?
