Buying a car is always a very difficult task when you have so many options in a same category, here are some cars I did not buy as per my understanding:
Skoda Rapid: Initially had planned for the Skoda Rapid coz of the build quality and being the German brand.
But, not buying Skoda was a very good decision after considering the poorest after sales service and the lowest resale value (Even lower than FORD and CHEVROLET)
Nissan Sunny: I did test drive Nissan Sunny and was very impressed with the interior space and the drive.
But AC was really not sufficient for people sitting at back coz during summers temperature in Delhi reaches 47 at times (At rear, there is a pair of Fan, not AC), moreover I use to drive my car on my own so rear leg room didn’t matter much for me.
Chevrolet Sail: Was impressed with the drive and the engine performance, but buying a Chevrolet car was a big gamble.
Honda Amaze: Waited for long for this Honda product and did test drive it too, but there were some issues with the car I found. Dashboard with three colors Grey, Brown and Beige which was not matching at all. moreover the engine noise was pretty audible in the cabin and did not find as i’m driving a very refined sedan or extended Hashback.
The good about this car is that it’s a Honda Brand and ABS/EBD as the standard for all the models.
The car I bought..
Toyota Etios: Earlier model I drove had so many issues like suspension and engine noise inside the cabin. When I drove the new model, I was pretty impressed with the car (But not with the interiors), but the interiors can be overlooked coz one can’t have a complete package ever.
Buying Toyota Brand was a qualifier for me to consider this car. The mileage is to to be calculated in total, but there is a peace of mind after buying this wonderful car.
Its been 10 days and I drove around 1000 Kms and really enjoying the drive of my Etios (GD).
I will surely be back with the fair feedback of the car I bought in sometime.
Thanks & regards.
