I need a 16 GB SD card which I plan to use to connect to my Car Stereo.
Also needed is the Card Reader along with it.
Since I'm not sure of which class I need to buy hence checking with you all.

Bought the pendrive? Sandisc provide a class 10 card with adapter. Buy any elchepo 50 rs card reader locally.

I read somewhere that Strontium is giving card reader as well along with SD Card. Somehow not sure about the brand. Any ideas?

+1 to Strontium Nitro 466x 16GB.
Performs better than both Sandisk Ultra and Samsung Evo.
Read speed upto 90 MBps.

Card Reader and microSD to USB free with card.

I'm trying to check which will be better option so wanted to know what I need to check if it's SD Card.
Read in couple of reviews about the Card reader which costs around Rs 100 that they failed very soon. So wanted to check if there is any specific brand(Card Reader) which may last longer even if it's expensive than others.

Well to be precise it all depends on how you deal. 8 out of 10 times it fails coz of poor handling. I bought a chinese one from local maket for 65 rs and it is still working after 3 years of usage. So the key is how you use is rather which brand will let you go for long distance.

Even I have one which I bought same time back as you, but can't remember where I kept it however it's bulky since it will accept all sizes of SD Card.
Also I stay little out of the main city so it's difficult to find decent computer stores.

Looks like it will be SD Card currently searching for a Card Reader. If getting a card reader is an issue then the Pen Drive.

i don't think card reader finding will be an issue. You just got to make sure what you exactly want a PD or CR.

My goal is something which is small. I currently have Pen drives which are quite big and may look odd. So I need either a small Pen Drive or a SD Card with SD Card Reader.

You should check out those HP Or the sandisk cheapest model if I am not wrong it is cruze. It sizes sometimes smaller than a card reader or equal to it on the max.

Strontium card reader is 1/3 the size of Sandisk Cruzer Blade.

That's what I have been suggesting from post 6.
It's a very good card.
I have the 64 GB one.
See how small the card reader is.

That's UHS 1 so it's >>>>class 10

I don't see any point on buying this brand and if he doesn't end up sending me the Card Reader. If you check the user reviews at the bottom almost everybody are saying they didn't get the card reader.

Anyway I bought it at Rs. 357 ;) and I've a two card readers so did not even care about it. The packaging has no space for a card reader but only the microSD adapter.

I checked the pics in Post your Purchase thread.

In that amazon link there are some people who are telling they got the Card Reader and some say they didn't.

So I guess it's still a lottery.
Can I have the link from where you bought this?

I bought 3 cards of strontium. First on august. Got 32gb(September) card with adapter only, then 16gb card with adapter and card reader, then 16gb in october (special edition, price higher) card with usb otg card reader! So I guess the old stockers(sellers) are sending card without reader.

So if we buy now is it better or should we select the seller carefully?

I will tell you the seller right after I revive my not booting pc! Else you can find by yourself by carefully seeing the comments of sellers in 'asked questions' section of strontium mem cards!
