Complete Value for money in safety-premiuim cars

I have been using one since two years. It is a wonderful car. With all safety features ABS, SRS Airbags, TCS, All wheel disk brakes, ample crush zone, it is complete value for money. A diesel version is slightly more expensive but great on pick-up and cost/km. Small things like automatic rear view mirror, phone charger and lighter - both, HVAC, Many compatrments, arm rest, luggage anti skid net in the boot, many cabin lights, great and plush upholstery by the company, washable yet carpet looking mats, auto guage showing how many more km will it go with available fuel in the tank, wiper with timer, outside temperature guage, feather touch AC controls, anti skid surface to hold cell phones, toll ticket/car park ticket holder with easy access, and great cluster lighting for an amazing night drive etc are featured that are tiny but bowl you over in acute impression of being pampered. I checked and compared all available models and brands at that time and found this value for money over Camry, Corrola, Octavia, Honda City, Lancer, Optra, Ikon, Baleno Altura etc.


Only Baleno came close as best value pick in cars without hi-end safety features.


Honda City was next best pick but since no safety features like ABS, TCS, All wheel disk brakes were being given by the company, we chose Elantra. I prefered the earler version with black cased twin headlights ( a la BMW loks ) rather than the newer version of the case being crome finished. It now barely has any differenciation from a Accent from a distance. The manuevarablity and power are very satisfactory tho.
