How many do you plan to seat in the car?

Will it be for long country/hiway trips?

Will you be using it for lots of luggage?

Whats the average weight you expect to carry in it?

Do you prefer small or large vehicles?

Are you looking for milage or performance or a value between both?

What about Reva? Its best for city use, and has very low maintainance costs and running costs.

Diesel car will be best buy.

so take a look at Swift Diesel.

if you dont care much about quality, then add Indica Turbo to the list.
