3India has always been a cost-sensitive market, but when it came to buying cars, we used to pay a premium to own diesel powered vehicles so that running costs could be under control. No more. Car owners now want the cost of buying cars to be low too, hence the preference for pre-owned cars. Also, with the prices of petrol and diesel decontrolled, people see more value in buying

petrol powered vehicles at unbelievably low prices. All this has now pushed the sales of pre-owned car sales in India to almost the same as new car sales - signaling the growing trend of low cost of automobile ownership, right from the beginning.

With this in mind, we got about the task of identifying pre-owned entry-level luxury cars that we can buy for Rupees 5 Lakhs - the amount we have to shell down for a new normal hatchback. This quest threw up some interesting facts did you know that you could buy a pre-owned Mercedes C-Class, a Honda Accord, Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, Toyota Camry, or a Skoda Octavia well under the five lakh mark? These petrol-powered cars, though used, are much better cars with more powerful engines, more safety features, more cabin space, separate boot for luggage, more luxury and a few rungs above on the desirability scale and image they portray. Weve presented them in a bare-bones style so you get to the crux of the matter quickly.

The Skoda Octavia, mentioned above has also been road tested by our team. Weve found it to be one potent road rocket, a true enthusiasts car with high levels of build quality, sun roof, airbags the works, and the important part is that its 1.8 litre engine puts out 160 bhp and can take you all the way to 230 kmph all for under 5 lakhs! Now compare that to a hatchback which has 70 bhp on the average and struggles to touch 140 kmph and has no safety features whatsoever!

Weve been including a fair number of luxury cars in the magazine, as dealers around the country are witnessing a sale of these upscale models. Most professionals from the medical, engineering, infotech, real estate, startups and other hot fields are consciously putting their money on luxury cars to make them stand out from the crowd. Look around you while driving youre bound to see at least one luxury car driving in your line of sight in any city in India... and this can only be a good thing as all of us - whether we drive a hatchback or a luxury car are looking for the next better car.

Another area of concern is the way cars are spontaneously catching fire these days. Are we safe in our own cars? What causes these fires, and what can be done to prevent them? We look at this fiery subject in detail.

As we bid goodbye to this year and welcome the new, we encourage you to bid goodbye to your old cars and welcome newer models into your life. Trust us, after you experience the levels of luxury and performance, youll never go back to your old car ever!

And like I always say, if you need answers to recurring problems with your cars, advice on things mechanical, want us to cover a particular story, send bouquets or brickbats, please write to me on [email protected].

Dear Sir,I chanced upon you m

agazine in Ratnadeep

and picked it up without expecting anythin

g,

but Im happy to say that my decision to p

ick

up your magazine was a wise one. I liked

the reviews of the pre-owned cars presente

d

in a crisp manner. Even the side by side

comparisons are good I could go back an

d

forth without turning the page as in other

magazines. Keep it up.

Dear Sir,Im middle class man working in Private Sector Company and am very interested in automobiles, but my family situation is not conducive to buying a car. At least that is what I thought, but Driven magazine has opened my eyes and broadened my horizons about the used cars that are within our reach. I was very impressed with your story on the Maruti Alto 800, and the price it was available at, and am happy to say that weve bought a white Alto last month. Thank you for your guidance.

Dear Sir,Your magazine

Dear Sir,Id like to thank you for all the detailed information you give on what to look for when buying a pre-owned car. With this new-found information, I went to a certified used car dealer and was surprised at how they were trying to hide some things from buyers. One suggestion is you could have a checklist page which we can tear and take to the dealer to tick boxes as and when we find something. Theres no way we can remember all the information you give in the magazine.

- Dr. Sanjay Malpani, Nagpur

Dear Sir,Im a medical doctor and have been d

riving a Swift

for the past 6 years and had been very satisfied

with it, but when I read Driven Magazine, my mind

was corrupted with thoughts of all the luxury cars

I could afford if I stretched my budget. I now drive

a Chevrolet Captiva and am very happy with the

comfort and security it gives. Your insights into the

used car market are commendable. Thank you guys

and keep up the good work.


Most car owners in India who do not have covered parking have had their tail-lamps, turn indicators and to a lesser extent, headlamp lens broken by either kids playing in

the vicinity of the car or even other cars reversing into your car. The problem is, to get it repaired, or rather, replaced, entails taking the car to the service station, leaving it the whole day and picking it up in the evening, and ah, paying for the whole light assembly. Not everyone is inclined to go the whole way, so they just stick scotch tape in the

cracks/holes, which serves the purpose but doesnt look good at all. A little water and the tape peels off, letting in water and spoiling the electrical circuits.

Enter 3M India with its Hi-Strength Lens Repair Film with a strong adhesive backing creates a waterproof seal, preventing further damage to the lens interior and electrical components. The flexible plastic adheres easily to lens surfaces. For quick easy repairs, simply cut the film to size, remove the adhesive liner, and apply to broken lens. Available in Red, Amber and clear, its a perfect solution for a semi-permanent fix to cover headlamps, turn indicators and stop lamps.We say its excellent. Try it and youll fall for it too.

Maserati inaugurated its second dealership in India recently in the South Indian city of Bengaluru in partnership with Jubilant AutoWorks Private Ltd. The first dealership opened in Delhi in September, while a third dealership will be opened soon in Mumbai. The company is expected to cater to other cities as well with dedicated sales managers at Chennai, Hyderabad and Kochi.

The new dealership located on MG Road has enough floor space to display six vehicles and will offer sales and servicing for the entire Maserati range in India including the likes of the Ghibli diesel sedan, the Quattroporte diesel and GTS sedans, the GranTurismo sports coupe and the GranCabrio. The showroom will also have a visitors lounge, a merchandising section as well as a configurator area where clients can customize their new vehicle.

There has been a huge buzz in the media about the launch of the Tata Kite, but looks like the Kite has all but flown, as Tata Motors revealed its newest car, the Zica, on its Facebook page. The car which is a mashup of the words Zippy Car, will be premiered in a week or two and is expected to be launched in January.

The Zica will be positioned between the companys Nano and the Bolt, and will replace the Indica in the private passenger vehicles market. It will be pitted against entry-level hatchbacks like the Maruti Alto, Hyundai Eon, the Renault Kwid, the Hyundai i10, Maruti WagonR and the Chevrolet Beat.

Judging by the looks in the photograph, it sure looks different from its stable mates and is more in tune with the cars in the market.

Zica is expected to be powered by an all-new three-cylinder 1.2-liter petrol engine, and a three-cylinder 1.0-liter diesel engine, which is a scaled-down version of Tatas 1.4-liter four-cylinder unit, with one cylinder chopped off. The engines are expected to be paired with manual and automated manual transmissions, and prices will probably start at around Rs. 4 lakhs.

7The soft-roader craze has hit a new high with the launch of Renault Kiwd, with the manufacturer having to suspend bookings. Such has been the interest in the low-cost quasi-SUV. Maruti is not the one to take things lying down and is seriously considering bringing Suzukis micro-SUV, the Ignis to India. The car looks like an SUV

for sure and has more muscle than the recently launched Kwid, with flared wheel arches and a high seating position. It may also plonk in a touch screen Multi Information Display system, especially since the Kwid comes with one. The car looks quite rugged and is expected to appeal to a larger audience, given Marutis

image in the Indian public. While the Kwid comes with an 800cc engine, the Maruti Suzuki Ignis may be beefed up with a one litre engine or even the 1.2 litre unti that is presently doing duty on the Maruti Swift. This will surely give the Ignis power to back its rugged image, and is expected to send ripples in the car market.

Toyota has launched the new generation Toyota Innova at the Guangzhou Auto Show in Indonesia. This Innova is most likely to be launched in India soon. The MPV is available in three trim levels- the entry level G, the mid-level V and the top end Q.

The Innova gets a dual VVT-i 2.0L petrol engine that makes 137 BHP @ 5,600 rpm and 183 Nm of torque @ 4,000 rpm and a GD 2.4L diesel engine with a variable nozzle turbo (VNT) that makes 147 BHP @ 3,400 rpm and 342 Nm of torque @ 1,200 - 2,800 rpm. Both engines are

4-cylinder, 16-valve units, which can be mated with a 5-speed manual gearbox or 6-speed automatic gearbox. It remains to be seen if the automatic unit will be brought to India.

The new generation Toyota Innova will come with a wheelbase of 2800mm, and will be 4745mm in length, 1820mm in width and 1800mm in height.

The India bound Toyota Innova will come with a cabin which is well-equipped with an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with voice control and Bluetooth connectivity, a multi-

function steering wheel, a Smart Entry Key, and dual-zone climate control function.

The top end model may get projector lights and integrated day time running LEDs, a smart close rear door, puddle lamps, a smart key and entry request sensor.

Rear seats get roof mounted AC vents, foldable trays, seat base side mounted flip-out type cup holders and tumble forward 2nd row seats. It also comes with ABS with EBD, VSC, hill start assist, ISOFIX child seat mounts, along with front, side, curtain and knee airbags.

Customers have been queuing up for Chevrolets latest offering the huge Trail Blazer, and is reported to have been sold out until March 2016. The company is bringing in the SUV in CBU form, and is expected to bring in more in January.

The car is quite expensive, and this means it is expected to be picked up by the high and the mighty.

Though the SUV is a 2-wheel drive only model, the Trail Blazer is expected to fight the Ford Endeavour, the Toyota Fortuner and the Mitsubishi Pajero,

The Chevrolet design hallmarks are visible in the form of the bowtie logo, flared wheel arches and massive road presence. The SUV is powered by a 2.8-litre four-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine producing 200bhp and a massive 500Nm of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed AT.

India becomes the 58th market in the world to have official Ferrari representation. Ferrari had commenced its operations in Delhi with a collaboration with Select Motors and followed it up with a launch in Mumbai recently in collaboration with Select Cars and Navnit Motors.

The Mumbai showroom will sell the entire Ferrari line up and also provide service support not just to the showroom customers, but also to the existing Ferrari owners in the country. The company has also setup its own service center in Andheri.

Ferrari exited India last year after an acrimonious split with their former collaborators in India who, the company says, did not honour their commitment to take care of Ferrari customers service needs.

What will put a smile on everyones lips is that the showroom in Mumbai also has a lounge to entertain Ferrari enthusiasts. The showroom also offers full customisation range to the buyers to select upholstery, accessories and paint schemes.

Beleaguered German auto firm Volkswagen will recall 3.23 lakh vehicles in India after a government-ordered probe found the company using diesel engines equipped with a defeat device which help cheat emission tests, as it had done in the US and other global markets.

The company accepted the offense and will voluntarily recall 3.23 lakh vehicles which have been fitted with the E189 engines that are equipped with defeat device.

The Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) said it found that diesel cars manufactured in India by Volkswagen having E189 engine were fitted with the defeat device, which may lead to excess nitrogen oxide emission levels in on-road vehicles.

VW has already admitted that 11 million diesel engine cars worldwide were fitted with the software that helped in manipulating emission tests. It faces fine of up to $18 billion in the US.

Automobile manufacturers have been recalling vehicles on safety issues since industry body Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) initiated a voluntary policy in July 2012.

Pininfarina, the world famous Italian automobile design house, recently revealed that they are in talks with Mahindra & Mahindra.

The company has been in some serious financial doldrums, and has been incurring losses since almost a decade, with its total debt close to Rs. 370 Crore.

Pininfarina has designed almost all Ferrari cars including the latest Ferrari 488, Maserati cars, Alfa Romeos and even a one-off Rolls-Royce amongst a host of other cars. Since automobile manufacturers started building design capabilities in-house, the design houses like Pininfarina started running into losses. Interestingly, Ratan Tata, chairman emeritus of Tata, was a part of the consortium that helped Pininfarina restructure close to Rs. 1000cr debt between 2009 and 2012.

The Bentley Bentayga debuted at the Frankfurt motor show in September, and is expected to drive into India in April 2016. Bentleys SUV intentions were first unveiled in 2012 at the Geneva motor show and received sharp criticism for the design cues. After this, Bentley went on to give its SUV design-lines based on the Continental series.

Bentleys Bentayga uses a twin-turbocharged 6.0-litre W12 engine that churns out 600bhp and 900Nm of torque. This SUV packs enough oomph to do the 0-100kmph run in 4.2 seconds and gather a top speed of 300kmph.

The worlds most luxurious and fastest SUV was also revealed at a private event in Beijing where its priced at Rs 4.3 Crore. Theres no word on how much the Bentley Bentayga will cost in India, but we can realistically expect it to be very expensive.

Mercedes GLE Coupe will be launched in India early next year as a CBU model. The car is also available in India in a saloon form. The GLE Coupe is expected to be available in the GLE 350d 4MATIC Coupe variant, possibly with the AMG body kit. Power is sourced from a 3.0-liter V6 twin turbo diesel engine capable of 255 hp and 620 Nm of torque. It is paired to a 9G-TRONIC 9-speed automatic gearbox, while a 4MATIC AWD system is standard. The full-blown GLE 63 S could also be introduced to rival the BMW X6 M, which packs a 5.5-liter twin turbo V8 engine producing 576 hp and 760 Nm of torque.

A seven-seater SUV from Skoda?

Unconfirmed reports reveal Skodas plan to debut their Seven-seater SUV at the Paris Motor Show and may be put up for sale next year-end. This SUV will be positioned above the low-selling Skoda Yeti and is expected to be a price at a premium. Dubbed the Snowman, the vehocle is expected to be over 4.7 meters long and contain the Skoda Superb and Octavia engines, including the 1.8 litre petrol and 2.0 litre Diesel engines, ported through a six speed manual or seven speed automatic gearbox. Given Skoda Indias strategy of targeting the premium segment, the Snowman could launch in India as a less expensive alternative to its German cousin, the 2016 VW Tiguan, which is confirmed for the Indian market.

BMW X1

Driven Rating


BMW has tried to market the X1 as a vehicle catered for a life full of possibilities. The combination looks appealing on the surface for an entry

level German SUV thats blessed with a recognized badge and the sort of technical abilities to venture where few others can. We reserve that description for the X1s that actually possess BMWs impressive xDrive technology and based on an experience we had near a lake bank, it isnt hard to consider its all-wheel drive system as one of the best in the business. Problem is, this X1 sDrive20d we have on hand, comes without the stuff, and in fact its the only variant of the X1 available on the used car market at the moment, so is it really worthy to buy a BMW X car?

Equipment:BMW X1 was launched in 2009 with one

trim level as standard. It comes equipped with xenon headlights, satellite navigation, Bluetooth, 8 speakers, rear parking sensors and six air bags. Buyers can also choose from different 17-inch alloy wheel options, to leather upholstery as well.

Practicality:The headroom is impressive and legroom is very good as the X1 echoes the bigger X models versatility and it is spacious inside considering the family compact size. Theres plenty of room in the boot - the area is wide and long with 420 litres of space. The rear seats split and fold down to create a larger load space. In the cabin, storage is decent with good-sized door pockets and a central cup holder along with a cubbyhole that doubles as the centre armrest.

Running cost:Most German makes have a reputation for pricey servicing but while BMW X1 running costs may be more expensive compared to the likes of Audi Q3 and Skoda Yeti. The decent fuel economy of the X1 means running costs can be kept at a reasonable level.

Reliability:BMW has a good reputation for well-built and solid cars, so there are rarely any issues

IMPRESSION

with BMW X1s reliability. The X1 feels as robust as a BMW off-roader should. On the road the X1 impresses with its composed manners, maintaining comfortable and relaxing drive. But off-roading could get a bit fussy and transmits more of the road imperfections into the cabin.

Buying used:The smallest X model in the BMW range is a popular choice in the pre-owned market, so there should be plenty of choice of sDrive20d models as they come at decent prices. All are economical and perform well.

Selling:An affordable, practical and comfortable BMW will always be easy to sell and thats exactly

what the X1 is. Compact off-roaders and soft roaders are popular these days, not because they are taken off-road, but are used as style statements, and the fact that this is a BMW gives it extra appeal to pre-owned compact off-roader buyers.

Verdict:BMWs X1 was an instant hit when it first went on sale in October 2009. It isolates itself a bit in a similar way that the X6 does, working around the need to fulfil a niche by creating a smaller one of its own. It brings the concept of a saloon, estate and an SUV closer together, but not too convincingly. There is not much to place in high regard but perceive it as being a bit of a rugged car to rush around in everyday life. - Murtuza Abedi

Also Consider:Audi Q3, Skoda Yeti


Pros: Great looks, performance, snob value, comfort, safety features, ground clearance, luxury.

Cons: lacks off road ability.

ThE BABY RANGE ROVER


Range Rover is known around the world for its no-nonsense luxurious off-roaders that are equally at home in the city. Trouble is, they are so bloody

expensive that no normal person would be able to afford one of these until this model from the company. Ever since its been introduced, it has managed to pull in younger buyers as well as people buying entry-level luxury cars. Now with the car available in the pre-owned segment, its even more affordable. It is an extremely good-looking car, after all it was designed by Spice girl Victoria Beckham,

and being a Range Rover, itll take your image a few notches upwards on the social circuit.

EquipmentThe Evoque comes with a 2.2 litre turbo diesel that puts out 194 bhp to the 18 inch wheels through a 9-speed automatic gearbox. Keeping in line with its family tradition, the Evoque is also equipped with an AWD system to give it some legs off the road. Though this is no match for a proper 4x4 system that is there in its larger siblings, it is more than enough for a soft-roader with off-road intentions. The Evoque comes with 6 airbags, ABS, EBD, brake assist,

traction control, hill hold control, Immobilizer, collapsible steering column, rear wash/wipe, electrical sun roof, bottle holders front and rear, 12v power outlets, front cup holders, auto rain sensing wipers, GPS navigation, touch screen display, Double DIN music system with USB/Aux in, six-way manually adjustable driver seat, cruise control, steering mounted audio controls, 60/40 folding rear seat, electric retractable rear view mirrors, LED tail lamps, and a huge 575 litre boot.

PracticalityLuxury offerings from the Range Rover stable are often unwieldy, their weight and large proportions making them a tad tough to pilot on the Indian roads, so its a joy to finally see a Range Rover that is good to look at, performs exquisitely on the road and is also mildly capable off-road, but whats pulling people to it are the top class looks and brand image. Even though the roof is sloping towards the rear, there is quite a lot of space inside for all passengers, sitting in the front or the rear. The needle stich leather seats are soft, wide and will keep you cocooned in luxury. The car also has a big 575 liters of boot space, add to it is the 60:40 the split of the rear seats that multiplies the space making it further practical. The cabin

IMPRESSION

is very well appointed and has a luxurious feel to everything. The Evoque has no gear shifter, but rotary switches which are concealed until you start the car, after which they pop out slowly from their hideouts. The Terrain Response system switches are also close to the rotary shifter. Due to the design, the rear glass is quite small and compromises rear visibility. Taking the luxury theme forward is the excellent sound system its eight speakers providing a theater-like experience in a car. The drive system is excellent and the gearbox compliments it thoroughly, while the AWD system is good enough to take the car through whatever you throw at it. Handling is superb with loads of grip at any speed, while the suspension is tuned to absorb everything on the road, with only big potholes being felt in the cabin.

Running costsThe Range Rover Evoque returns a combined mileage of 8kmpl, not bad for a crossover with off-road intentions. Service and spares cost the earth, but remember it is a proper luxury vehicle and it has cost to match. All that top class instrumentation and the materials used in the interiors are expensive and maintaining them costs too. These costs are in line with its contemporaries.

ReliabilityThe Evoque, though from the Tata stable, is completely imported, and is top class. Range Rovers are known to last decades on end without any serious problems. Even this baby SUV is built on those lines and will be very reliable, but since this is a modern vehicle, it needs proper care every once in a while. So adherence to service schedules does wonders to it longevity.

Buying usedIt is a best seller all over the world with Tata struggling to keep up with orders, with so much going for it, the car is quickly snapped up. Do bear in mind that when new, the Evoque was brought into India through the CBU route and hence very expensive. The new Evoque is made in India and is cheaper by a large margin, so youve got everything to gain if you decide to buy the pre-owned one. Pick one up as soon as you can youll not regret it. Its got performance, image, brand value, safety, capability and at great prices.

SellingIts not a great time to sell your Evoque, as explained above, its just been announced that the new India-made Evoque is available for almost half the cost of what you would

have paid a couple of years ago for it, so prices will naturally be slashed to market rates. That said, if the car has been looked after well, with all the service records available, it will retain value better.

VerdictIf you are looking for a well-known brand of SUV, then it makes immense sense to pick one up when you can. It offers you a desirable set of wheels, that is not only at home in the city but also on the highway and the road less travelled. As crossovers go, this is one sorted out vehicle and has all the features we expect of a bigger Range Rover, but within manageable proportions and luxurious interiors. - Johnson

IMPRESSION

Volvo is known for the loads of safety equipment it packs into its cars and

SuVs, and this is no different, but what makes it unique is this all-wheel-drive

Crossover also looks extremely good and has performance to match! The best of everything. Sadly, this good product is

marred by lack of brand value in India. If you look past that, you get an extremely

capable Crossover thatll serve you well in every department.

EquipmentThe D5 version of the XC60 were testing for this story, has a 2.4 litre 5-Cylinder diesel engine and puts out a good 215 bhp and can zip on the highway at over 200kmph all day. It has top build quality and good ground clearance to take care of your off road adventures. The XC60 is equipped with 18-in wheels, 70 liter tank, rear a/c vents, satellite navigation, 2-DIN audio, Bluetooth connectivity, USB/Aux input, automatic climate control, dual zone a/c, air quality control, rear reading lamp, rear center armrest, leather seats, trunk light, lumbar support, cruise control, multi-function steering wheel, heated/cooled seats, sunroof, ABS, EBD, Traction control, automatic head lamps, follow me headlamps, parking sensors front and rear, brake assist, rear camera etc.

PracticalityLike we said before, the Volvo is very practical. Its 495 liters of luggage space can swallow up a lot of luggage for those inter-city trips with the family and the 60:40 split rear seats enable you to transport oversized pieces of luggage in an emergency. Its large 70 liter fuel tank enables you to travel long distances without re-fuelling and out on the highway,

the suspension, interiors, automatic A/C and leather seats conspire to make you feel like royalty. A center arm rest, power points, climate control etc., for the rear seat dwellers makes it inviting for the family or whoever is travelling with you. There are cup and bottle holders for the front and the rear, plus a reading light for the rear seat this small detail is often overlooked in most cars, and ah, the tail gate can be opened at the touch of a button and even closed the same way. The dashboard is a little cluttered with a host of buttons, but itll be okay once you get the hang of it. That said, everything falls to hand easily, ergonomically its quite sorted out and doesnt distract the driver. The suspension is slightly on the stiffer side and low-speed drives aka city drives - are slightly uncomfortable, but the same suspension flattens bad roads and no roads at speeds, so highway and off-road adventures are the name of the game. From the present crop of Crossovers, this is the best looking, and backs it up by good performance.

Running costsA long body, big engine, quality build and a host of safety features make the D5 quite a heavy vehicle, and at 1.8 tons, it takes a lot

of power to keep it moving, and it shows on the fuel consumption figures. The D5 returns a combined average of around 9kmpl. Also bear in mind that spares and service are above industry average and will cost you quite a bit, but then this is no ordinary vehicle, it is

a Crossover that scores well in every other department, and is quite popular in the country. Itll keep serving you without complaint for years to come and suddenly sacrifice its life for you in the event of an accident, with all its safety features combining forces to keep the occupant safe.

ReliabilityVolvos have a reputation for quality and safety, and this XC60 is no exception. They will keep going on and on for years at end, provided you adhere to its regular service schedules. Owners are quite a happy lot and would gladly vouch for it, and no major complaints have been reported from anywhere around the country.

have the brand image of its other well-known rivals, it depreciates considerably and make an excellent choice as a pre-owned vehicle. Make no mistake about its image though it turns heads everywhere you go. Most used ones in the market are well looked after and kept very well mechanically too, after all they have service histories, so you can almost pick them up with your eyes closed!

SellingThe XC60 has quite a fan following, so it will be quite easy to get maximum for your car, if its been kept well and all service records are available with you. However, bear in mind that since its not that popular a vehicle, and does not have brand value, buyers will try to beat down the price, but if you persist, you can get most of the price you paid for it.

VerdictThe Volvo XC60 may not have the brand power of the other luxury marquees but it more than compensates for it with its list of safety features that are only available as options in its rivals. With the interest on the Crossover segment at its highest in India, and the XC having a diesel heart, plus the All-Wheel-Drive, theres no

ROAD ROCKET AT BARGAIN

PRICES

World over, the Octavia vRS has endeared itself to police forces for its understated styling, great performance, reliability and ease

of ownership, but in India it does not sell as well as it should because in its heart beats a petrol motor. Do not get swayed by what others think of it though, as it has as many admirers who swear by its performance, and would readily sell their soul to the devil to possess this amazing road rocket.

Equipment:The vRS were testing here has a turbo-charged 1.8 litre petrol engine belting out 160 bhp and has a top speed of 230 kmph and its build quality is solid, unlike its Japanese competitors, which makes its ride quality better than anything in its price bracket. This Octavia comes with a sunroof, six airbags, parking sensors, ABS, EBD, ESP, Traction Control, Leather seats, folding rear seats, alloy wheels, rear AC vents, rain sensing wipers, darkness sensing headlamps in short everything youd ever need. Its got oodles of speed backed by safety features that keep you protected in case of an accident, but at no time does it feel out of control. It feels so planted that you are driven to take it to the limit.

PracticalitySolid build quality of the Europeans gives the car a heavy feel to it, which aids in its holding

on to the road surface like a leech. Suspension is a bit stiff for a family car but then with its Rally Sport pedigree, it is perfect for such a fast and heavy car. Space is what the Octavia has in abundance, so travelling city to city is a very comfortable chore, while the huge boot will gobble up all the passengers luggage and some. The interiors are a bit staid by current standards, but remember that the vRS we have on hand is a decade old. The dashboard looks dated, then again, the interiors are functional

and everything falls to hand easily, without fumbling. It is built like a vault with thick body panels and doors shut with a reassuring thud. The rear seats fold down completely which increases the boot space multi-fold in times of a luggage emergency. The seats are well-padded and comfortable, and the leg room front and rear is more than enough. While the drive in city limits is its weak point, out on the highway is where it shows its true colours. A true drivers car.

Running costsThe Octy weighs nearly a ton and a half and its got a scorcher of an engine and its a petrol, so youve got a fuel guzzler on hands. That said, no one buys the Octavia vRS for fuel economy, but in its defense, even with these negatives, it consistently returns 8-10kmpl in the city and over 14kmpl on the highways. Service has always been a problem with Skodas, with owners rating their service centers very low, plus the cost of spares and service is above industry average but everything is forgotten once youre in the drivers seat. All your car worries are replaced by an ear to ear grin.

ReliabilitySkodas are reputed to ride well without giving owners headaches. No major problems have been reported, except for service related ones, which differ from place to place. No major

reliability problems are foreseen too, if the service schedules are adhered to at regular intervals.

Buying usedMost Skodas have been known to be in enthusiasts hands who take great pride in driving these beauties, so theyll have been kept very well inside and out. Petrol vehicles are given a step-motherly treatment and this one is no different, so you have a high chance of getting one on the cheap. Dont get desperate and pick any one that comes your way. Take your time, look for them and youll be rewarded with a well-kept example soon.

SellingThe pre-owned car market has very few vRSes due to it being a petrol, so you can sell it at a slight premium over the others, but remember that youre not likely to get any great amount

from it. Needless to say, a detailed service history can push the price up a bit.

VerdictThe Octavia is expected to be bought by enthusiasts with limited resources. A rocket for the price of a Nano, well almost and its a perfect car for them. Its a car that youll love to drive fast, its a car that will keep you safe, keep the family comfortable and keep pasting smiles on your face every time you use it so what if it falls short on something called fuel economy? To tell you the truth, no one buys this car with fuel bills in mind. - BJ

Buying usedThere are plenty of good used 3 Series around the city, Efficient Dynamics with fuel saving program will be even more worth it. Dont be afraid of cars with higher mileages, especially diesels, although a BMW dealer service history will be important.

SellingAny BMW 3 Series in good condition will sell but youll get a better price for a diesel model compared to similar powered petrol. Cars fitted with Efficient Dynamics will command a premium as not only are they more efficient but are also more powerful.

PracticalityThe BMW 3 Series practicality arsenal has many weapons. The car has a smaller boot than the Audi A4 of 450 litres but it is also available with a luggage compartment package which includes a 20-litre sliding drawer beneath the parcel shelf.

Running costsThe 3 Series running costs arent as bad as you might expect. BMW does have excellent residuals and good economy too especially on cars with Efficient Dynamics. Yearly budget should look at Rs.50,000/- thereafter. Additional Service Plan Available BSI (BMW Service Inclusive)

Verdict For performance and economy - is the excellent 320d EfficientDynamics which is great to drive and returns an amazing 18 kmpl. BMW prides itself on driving

pleasure, and the 3 Series is no exception. The Audi is beautifully finished, build quality was never in question, while the BMW may still have the edge on ultimate driver appeal, the 2008 A4 is a better all-rounder.

our Choice: Audi A4

Pros Roomy interior, superb ride and handling, large boot, top quality cabin, excellent choice of engines.Cons Hard to fault, but not active compared to BMW.

ReliabilityBMW 3 Series reliability is well known all over the world and we expect the latest model to fare just as well.

Pros Great to drive, decent level of standard kit, premium image, superbly built, refined interiors.Cons Expensive options, firm ride.

Buying usedMore than two thirds of all A4s on the used market are the 2.0-litre TDI, so diesel buyers should have no problem finding one. But you should also be careful, as theyre run more and will be nearing the end of their No issues cycle.

SellingWell-kept diesel models will sell quickest, especially those with key options fitted, such as leather, satellite navigation and automatic transmission. These and the more powerful models will help raise the value making your car more attractive.

PracticalityThe minimum boot volume in the A4 is 480 litres - ahead of key rivals from BMW and Mercedes. The boot is user-friendly too with a flat and wide floor plus an optional luggage pack can be chosen.

Running costsAudi servicing tends to be expensive. Expect 10-20K for scheduled service, an yearly budget of Rs. 50,000/- thereafter is a conservative estimate. Additional Service Plans available with Audi car life advance.

Buying usedThere are not many used 120 Elites on the pre-owned market as the car is relatively new, but those that are there are quite expensive as demand for them, specially the diesels, is quite high. Since its new, look for showroom maintained ones only and beware of damaged ones.

SellingChances are you do not want to sell your i20 Elite as there are a lot of satisfied owners out there. That said, i20 Elite owners can easily get 80% of their investment if they sell, which they can use to upgrade to a bigger ride.

PracticalityThanks to being longer and wider than before, the Hyundai i20 practicality is better than the model it replaces. That means front-seat passengers enjoy more room than ever. Boot space has been increased from 295 litres to 326 litres.

Running costsConceived from the outset as a car that should be cheap to run and maintain, Hyundai i20s running costs are low. No matter what engine choice you make, youll need to visit the dealer every 12 months or 10,000 km for essential maintenance.

VerdictHyundais i20 Elite is a quality product, comfortable, easy-to-live-with and its incredible value makes it a strong contender for your cash, but the Swift is Indias

largest selling premium hatchback and a superb small car that is every bit the equal of more expensive hatchbacks. Its a value-for-money low-cost car thats good fun to drive. Its low-cost spares and service stations even in the remotest parts of India makes it the best all-rounder.

our Choice: Maruti swift

Pros Good value and well equipped, great fun to drive, distinctive styling, economical diesel available, roomy cabin.Cons Poor rear sets and small boot space.

ReliabilityThis car has undergone a series of gruelling testing in hot, cold and in-between climates so you can expect Hyundai i20 reliability to be just as good as the competition.

Pros Low running costs, warranty, easy to drive, spacious cabin, standard equipmentCons Not overly efficient, sedate pace, no automatic

Buying usedThere are thousands of Swifts in the pre-owned market, but are quite expensive as they hold their price well. But then if you decide to sell a few years down the line, you can be sure youll get your money back. Stay away from abused ones.

SellingThe market is saturated with Swifts of all kinds, so dealers will beat down the price. Best option is to sell through our classifieds or person to person to get the best deal. That said, if you kept it neat and well maintained, its easy to sell.

PracticalityThis is the Swifts only real downfall. With 211 litres on offer, boot space is laughable. There are also plenty of other practical touches with a number of cubby holes and cup holders dotted around the car.

Running costsThe Swift is excellent value for money new and even better as a used car. All engines are economical and insurance is cheap too, while servicing at Suzuki dealers is very affordable. Depreciation is better than other small cars too.

ReliabilitySuzuki has a reputation for mechanical durability, but interior quality has often let it down. The new Swift seems to address that with better interiors fittings and thoughtful design.

Buying usedThe Dzire is an ugly looking car with its pasted-on boot, but people buy it for the peace of mind it gives. Buy it for that one point alone and it doesnt disappoint. However, it doesnt come cheap, as demand is very high.

SellingWhy would anyone want to sell a perfectly running Dzire? It can only be because either youre sick of it or you want to upgrade. You will find that selling your car will be quite easy as there is a huge demand for it.

PracticalityThe Dzire is not just good at one thing, but its a sum of its parts. Ride quality, drivability, comfort levels, clutch, gearbox - all work like they are supposed to and it returns decent fuel economy consistently. Its good to drive in the city, as well as the open roads.

Running costsMarutis sell in large numbers and their spares are made it their millions, and are quite inexpensive compared to the Honda, add to it the extensive Service network and you have an unbeatable combination.

VerdictTheres very little separating the two cars but the Marutis multi-Jet engine is a joy to use compared to the good, but a shade lower engine of the Honda. Fuel economy is almost the same, but what tilts the balance towards the Dzire, are the low cost of spares, the exhaustive service network and great resale value.

Is it any wonder this choice of function over form is winning in the market?our Choice: Maruti dzire

Pros Small outside, large inside, powerful engines, boot well-designed body and interiors.Cons Diesel engine clatters, lower versions have a lot of equipment missing.

ReliabilityMarutis have a reputation for reliability, and this ones no different. Its very rare to see broken down Dzires, unless theyre treated very badly, which is a shame, because this car keeps going on and on and on.

Pros Fiat-sourced multi-jet diesel is the best and then some, ride quality, drivability, fuel efficiency, large service network.Cons Frankenstien-like grafted boot is ugly, fixed rear seat.

Buying usedThe Amaze was introduced to take a slice of the pie occupied by the Dzire, and it succeeds in doing so. Its a much better car and has better space management and bigger boot, but since its a new car, its unlikely to come cheap.

SellingThe Amaze has caught the fancy of the motoring public that is looking for a car thats as good as the Dzire, but more modern. Amaze owners will find it very easy to sell the car. It doesnt depreciate much, so they will get the price they demand.

PracticalityTheres no doubt that the Honda is the better looking of the two and has extremely spacious rear seats... Amazes boot is the largest among the 4-metre cars. Given its small outer dimensions, this is a design marvel.

Running costsBoth the petrol and diesel are fuel sippers, with good fuel economy, spares are on the higher side, and more importantly, its a modern design. That said, its an extremely desirable machine thats good on both city roads and the highways.

ReliabilityThe Japanese are known for their no-nonsense machines and the Honda is also pretty reliable, in any case this is a new model and we expect no troubles in owning this car. It will keep doing what its supposed to do consistently.

Buying usedIts arguably the best looking homegrown SUV ever, you could buy it just for that, and is also comfortable among the big Japanese Sport-utes, however, there are niggles a-plenty, so check for detailed service history and then go for it.

SellingYoull find no problem whatsoever in selling your XUV500 as its one of the cheapest good-looking SUVs you can find in India. Youll even get a major portion of the money you originally spent on it, if you have a service record.

PracticalityA refined car in every sense of the word, and it doesnt look and feel like a Mahindra product. Being a monocoque, its lighter than the Storme and its ride is impeccable, however, bad roads unsettle it. Luggage space is almost non-existent.

Running costsThe XUV is easy to live with as it is comparable to the Storme in all departments - its got 7 seats, mileage is good, spares are reasonably priced, but what really is a deal breaker is that Mahindra service is also as bad as Tatas.

VerdictThe XUV is as good or as bad as the Storme, but theres no denying that its good looks set it apart, that said, there are a lot of Storme fans that will sneer at the

XUV, but if you compare it feature by feature, wed go for the XUV.our Choice: Mahindra XUV 500

Pros Cheapest old-school SUV, LSD, electronic shift for low range, ride quality, seven seats, off road capability.Cons Side facing last row seats, body roll, fit & finish, Tata service.

ReliabilityThe XUV is a well-built car and feels the same while driving, however, there are reports of brake pads wearing fast, funny noises from the brakes, electrical options going kaput etc. The engine, of course, is very reliable and can run all day.

Pros Spacious, comfortable, good handling, well-equipped - ABS, EBD, ESP, Hill hold Control, Brake Assist, Engine Immobilizer, Airbags all round.Cons Third row for kids only, no luggage space, Mahindra ASS not the best.

Buying usedThe Safari has been updated to the Storme in every department but it still looks the same, that said, it can take a lot of beating on the highways and takes bad roads with aplomb. Owners typically abuse them, so look out for signs of damages.

SellingThe Storme holds its price reasonably well and if its well-kept youll even get most of your money back, as there are a lot of die-hard Safari fans who laugh at the little crossovers and put their money on the Storme. Keep service records and youll get more.

PracticalityThe Storme is an extremely comfortable car on the highway with amazing ride quality. It can tackle mild off road excursions and gives you the tough-boy feeling. Used as a 5-Seater, it can easily accommodate luggage for a long trip for 5 people.

Running costsIts not built too well, too many things go wrong frequently; Tata Service is not the best; Spares are reasonably priced and most importantly, since there are better options in the market, you might get a pre-owned Storme at a reasonable price.

ReliabilityLike the XUV, even the Storme suffers from niggles all through the car at regular intervals and needs care every now and then, however, its an extremely consistent performer and can go hopping from city to city without complaint.

PRACTICAL LUXURY COUP

LIFESTYLE


The Mercedes E-Class Coupe stands out from its siblings due to its large two-slat grille and a largish three-pointed star in the middle a

welcome change too, as it looks sporty. That said theres not much to distinguish it from its sedan sibling, unless you look at it from its side profile, where its two huge doors give away its Coupe character. Its a luxury sports car for the gentleman driver, it doesnt make the usual sporty noises and goes about its work with cool precision. Anyone who puts so much money on it may want it to be sportier sounding with its engine and exhaust note singing in tune, its a sort of unwritten rule in the automotive world, and this Merc breaks the rules and blazes its own path, silently. But theres no denying that its got speed, power, comfort, handling and ride quality in large doses.

EquipmentThe E-Class Coupe comes with a 3498 cc V6 Petrol engine that makes a very healthy 272 bhp @ 6000 rpm and is routed to the wheels through a seven speed automatic gearbox. This two-door, four-seater, rear wheel drive car has a huge 540 litre boot that can swallow most of your luggage. The seats also have a 60:40 split and flip forward, making it very practical when carrying large items. The Coupe comes with a huge Sunroof, ABS, Brake Assist, ESP, Hill hold Control, Traction Control, HDC, 4 Airbags, Automatic climate control, Keyless start, Cruise control, Leather seats,

leather steering wheels cover, Rain sensing wipers, Xenon headlamps, 2DIN music system with 6 speakers, steering mounted controls etc. The car rides in 16 inch alloys that do an excellent job of isolating the road imperfections and keeping occupants ultra-comfortable.

PracticalityAt 4.6 meters, the E-Class Coupe is an XL size, which throws open a lot of space for its occupants and their luggage, no problem there on practicality, however, its height - at 1397mm - is lower than a Maruti Altos, so getting in and out is a practical problem.

The same low-slung shape aids when on the highway at 3-digit speeds, where it literally sticks to the road, even when cornering. Its sporty intentions can be seen it its Agility Control System which stiffens dampers when you push it hard, and softens when driven in a relaxed manner all these make it a very relaxed and safe highway cruiser. Youll be cocooned in luxury you except from a Merc, and even tall people will not complain about leg space, but the same tall people would be uncomfortable in the rear seats, as the sloping roof severely restricts head room. Between the rear seats is a block containing two cup holders and a storage space for odds and ends.

The huge sunroof also gets a netted kind of screen to shut out the harsh Indian sunlight. The pillar-less car with its huge rimless doors make it one good-looking car. But for all the beauty and kit on offer,

Mercs have known to run without whimper in the

harshest of terrain without complaint, and this Coupe is

no different.

LIFESTYLE

what takes the cake is the engine, which is the star of the show and takes the huge car from 0-100 7.5 seconds, and goes on to over 250kmph. Ground clearance is just 123mm and needs very careful handling over speed breakers, otherwise youll be left with huge repair bills. Also, for a luxury car with sporty intentions, it is very surprising that it doesnt come with paddle shifts, even the power, though more than adequate, is transferred onto the road rather softly. Theres no power rush as expected in a sports car.

Running costsIndia is obsessed with mileage and this huge car with a huge engine with sporty intentions disappoints on the face of it with a combined mileage of 7-9kmpl, but for a 3.5 litre engine hauling over 1.8 tonnes, its a pretty good figure! But then again, you do not buy a sports car for mileage figures, do you? Service and spares cost a bomb though. This Merc Coupe was brought into India in a Completely Built Up (CBU) form, so spares would be a little tough to source. You pay for the exclusivity and maintaining

this high quality, high tech machine takes a lot of time, money and effort, but in the end itll all be worth it. Isnt that why you want to buy it in the first place?

ReliabilityMercs have known to run without whimper in the harshest of terrain without complaint, and this Coupe is no different. It keeps changing its character to serve the road racer in you as well as the family man in you from time to time. Just keep a strict watch on the service schedules and it will keep serving you for a long time to come.

Buying usedTheres no denying that this car makes an

35


ultimate Ive arrived statement without being overpowering. It make an excellent buy for professionals whove just made their mark in their respective fields, and that too by spending just as much as they would on a regular high-end car. A Merc is a Merc, period, but this is two cars rolled into one a high-end sports car, when youre in the mood for it, and a luxurious family car when youre not in a hurry. Just make sure you look for a detailed service history before signing on the dotted line.

SellingVery few E-Class Coupes are available in the used car market, so you could get the maximum for your car if its not been involved in accidents and if all the service records are available.

VerdictMakes a very good buy, not only for bragging rights, but also as a practical luxury car for the whole family, and for those rare occasions you want to unleash

engine that does duty in Etios, Liva and Altis and Diahatsus small 1.3 litre engine.

For all its high technology and award-winning engines, the companys beginnings were very humble. FIAT is actually an acronym, the letters of which stand for Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino. The Company was established in the year 1899, in Corso Dante, in Turin, but manufactured its first vehicle in the year 1900 the Fiat 31/2 CV, which had a rear mounted 679cc straight 2 petrol engine with a 3-speed manual transmission. The power was rated at 3.5hp, hence the name 31/2 or the 3.5. The car was more of a coach without a roof or a reverse gear.


Contrary to popular folklore, Fiat set shop in India as late as January 1997, and not the 50s, as people believe it did. How is it possible? People born in the 50s, 60s and 70s have lived and breathed Fiats. Thats because these Italian beauties were manufactured and sold in India under license by Premier Automobiles Limited, and their cars ruled roost as the only competition they had was the venerable Hindustan Ambassador. PAL made the Fiat 1100-103 with suicide doors, and the Fiat 1100D, subsequently changing its name to Premier Padmini and much later made the Premier 118NE, based on the Fiat 124, but with a Nissan sourced engine and gearbox.

So in effect, even though Fiat the company was not physically present in India, its cars continued to carry the name forward as easy to drive, easy to repair modern cars! Their cars have stood the test of time and many of them can still be seen on the roads, especially in the black and yellow cab avatar in Mumbai.

So when Fiat wanted set up shop in India, Premier sold their business to Fiat, who in turn, introduced their first car, the Fiat Uno and became an instant hit as the car was bigger and had more space than the market leader, the Maruti 800 which was the market leader at that point of time, but the lack of dealer support killed the car. Fiat then went on to have a joint venture with Tata Motors. This tie-up did not do any good for Fiat as service issues cropped up all over India, and the company had to discontinue some of their offerings, leaving their customers high and dry. People still swear by some of Fiats offerings like the Palio 1.6 and the Palio 1.9 which are excellent cars even to date, but lack of dealer support and availability of spares ultimately killed them.

Despite all these problems, Fiats contribution to the modern Indian automobile scene is nothing short of great. Their award-winning 1.3 MultiJet Diesel engine is so efficient that most Indian manufacturers from Maruti to Tata use it in different states of tune, leading to it being dubbed as Indian National Engine. Even the recently launched Maruti S-Cross uses Fiats bigger 1.6 MultiJet Diesel engine. More than 20 cars in India from various manufacturers, are powered by the same Fiat 1.3 MJD engine!

The 1.3 MJD is the most efficient small diesel engine in the world and has won the International engine of the year award in the year 2005, in the 1.0-1.4 litre category, beating sixty engines built by its competitors, including Peugeot-Citroen and Fords 1.4 litre diesel engine, VWs 1.4 litre FSI, Toyotas 1.4 litre

Standing the test of time

What caught peoples imagination was when Italy hosted the first Car Tour of the country, nine Fiats crossed the finish line. By 1902, driver Vincenzo Lancia won the Sassi-Superga uphill race, in the famous Fiat 24 hp model. Giovanni Agnelli, President of Fiat, represented the company on the racetrack, driving an 8hp Fiat in the second Italian Car Tour and set a record in that race.

Fiat has grown in size steadily all over the world, by acquiring major car makers. Its bouquet of cars is quite impressive, and has in its fold Lancia, Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Maserati and manufactures cars like Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge, Ferrari, Jeep, Lancia and Maserati, apart from Fiat branded cars.

I was driving in bumper to bumper city traffic the other day, when I noticed a car stop abruptly on the other side of the road and the occupants running away from it like they

were escaping from a bomb. I couldnt see the fire, but could see the heat waves over the bonnet area. Only then did I understand that what I had just witnessed was a car that caught fire. People nearby brought sand, water etc., and tried to douse the fire, but the bonnet and engine area was completely burnt.

The occupants were lucky to get out of the burning vehicle in one piece, but that incident got me wondering as to why that car caught fire, and if that could happen to my car too. We do not know how many cars catch fire spontaneously in India, as statistics are hard to come by, but in the months of April and May, Chandigarh newspapers reported that over 28 cars caught fire in the city. Agreed, those months

are the hottest all over India, but cars are made to withstand these extreme temperatures. On closer inspection it was found that in more than half of the cars, owners had replaced the stock halogen headlamp bulbs with High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps. These lamps shine brighter than the halogen ones, but tend to crack due extreme heat, and leak argon /nitrogen from the bulbs, which catch fire on contact with any hot surface.

Most of the fires in India are electrical in nature, as we love to add cheap accessories that catch our fancy, starting from higher wattage bulbs for the headlights. This is the simplest quick-fix we all have resorted to at one point of time or the other. Problem is, our vehicles wiring is made for the OEM bulb it comes with and is not made to take on extra load, leading to heating up the wiring system, melting the rubber sheath and shorting the wires, leading

to sparks and since we do not see whats happening under the cars bonnet, we are left to discover it the hard way, or shall we say the hot way.

We love to accessorise our cars with after-market music systems, reversing sensors, reversing cameras, extra stop lamps, extra cabin lights, double horns etc., which are done at the neighbourhood car accessories-wala and the one doing the modifications is usually a teen whos just learnt the skill and wants to make a quick buck. Whats worrying is that wires usually run the length of the car from under the carpet area. Commonsense tells us that overloaded hot wires and carpets are a recipe for disaster.

Since cars traverse over rough terrain, jerks and shakes lead to loose connections at electrical connections like the radiator fans, ignition system, stoplights, interior lamps where sparks can fly and ignite anything.

Why do cars catch fire?Why do cars catch fire?FEATURE

Though electricity is a major cause of fires, by no means is it the only one. Other modifications like adding a CNG/LPG tank, are also huge contributors in a fire. Engines generate extreme heat, turbochargers generate heat too add to the mix, the ignition system the distributor, wires, spark plugs which generate very high voltages to make the sparkplug spark and all this under the tight confines of a closed bonnet!

Other fire starters are the fuel lines, which, if not maintained properly, leak highly combustible fuel onto hot engines. The tailpipe area is also another area which is dangerous. The temperature at the tailpipe is usually over 400 degrees, and the fuel tank is almost always directly above this superhot area and its not hard to imagine how it would end. While

regular maintenance will usually take care of this, there are manufacturer related fires too. Who in India can forget Nanos catching fire due to a manufacturing defect?

All said and done, cars should be used within their tolerance limits. There have been instances of supercars like Lamborghinis catching fire after a round of hard revving to impress onlookers!

Whats worse is that these burning cars usually short the electricity in the car and prevent occupants from opening doors and windows, leading to them being roasted to death inside a closed car.

So how do we save ourselves and our cars from these burning infernos? Simple theres a reason why manufacturers have service

intervals when they recommend changing and checking certain parts, so that these incidents may be nipped in the bud. Go to the authorized service stations and get the modifications done, if youre apprehensive about them, you could even go to large independent garages.

If certain fuses in your car blow out again and again, its a clear sign of a problem attend to it right away. Lastly, do keep two fire extinguishers in the car. Theyre cheap just Rs. 200-500 apiece. Keep one in the car, and the other in the boot. In the event of a fire, you will not have enough time to grab the one inside the car, you could however grab the one in the boot and try to extinguish the fire.

You car can catch fire anytime, but a little TLC showered on the car from time to time can negate this. - Blessing Johnson

Six entry level luxury saloons under 5 lakhs

year: 2005

Engine: 2.0 Petrol, Power: 184 bhp

Torque: 285 Nm, Gears: 7 speed Auto

Mileage: 9kmpl,

Price when new: 28 lakhs

Pre-owned price: 4-5 lakhs

kilometers run: 60,000

Pros: luxurious interiors, crash sensor,spacious, large boot, ABD, EBD, airbags

Cons: Mileage, spares availability, service expensive.

India is predominantly hatchback country, where the top 10 cars sold are all hatches, basically because of their low investment and cramped city roads, but who in their right mind wouldnt want a proper car, as in a Saloon? If our pockets permit it, we would readily

trade our hatch for a Saloon. What we do not realize it that we CAN buy a Saloon for the price of a hatch, in the pre-owned segment. A couple of years ago, when Nissan introduced its Sunny in the Indian market, its advertisement had a couple talking about the neighbour having a caaaaar, while they had just a car that pretty much sums up our need to have a bigger car. Not only are they fodder for neighbourhood talk, you are put up on the social ladder. They are extremely practical too due to their being spacious and having a separate boot area for

luggage, while the interiors are luxurious, apart from the plethora of safety features built in.

Can we really get a Luxury Saloon for the price of an i10 or a Ritz? Of course yes. We have here six pre-owned saloons available in the market under Rupees 5 Lakhs. Go through them and youll understand why it makes a lot of sense buying these Caaaars. Do not be put off by the thousands of kilometers on the clock, as these cars are built to run for over a lakh kilometers, but do remember that like anything old, they need a lot of care and maintenance. Why buy a puny car with no safety features, basic interiors, flimsy build quality and cramped interiors, when you can get an entry-level luxury saloon?
