My thoughts Thanx ShuvD, Tech, Ravibhat, unknown, GTO, navdeep and Rahul for your valuable imputs. Quote:
I have a feeling that the new fiat palio would have a diesel option as well,it may just have that 1.3 multijet which the swift has not sure though
|
Well i am really waiting for the Palio 1.3JTD, but there is no hope left in Fiat when they are going to launch it. Quote:
The renault logan may just have an option with abs as well considering the number of variants they are talking about.
|
When is it going to be launched and what are the engine specs expected?? Quote:
But other than that no other alternative immediately for the Maruti Swift ddis[who themselves arent giving you abs anyway or are they].
|
They are giving ABS but are saying its going to take minimum one more month, so thats two months since its already one month since i booked. Quote:
Fait might surprise u by launching palio with same old engine
|
Fiat launches anthing is a big suprise in itself. Quote:
The optra diesel,fusion tdci,getz Diesel,baleno diesel all good alternates if waiting for a while is ok.
|
How long? We can rule out the Optra Diesel, Fusion Diesel. Baleno Diesel is going to have the same engine as the Swift and also its going to take time with the ABS. I like the Getz CRDi but no idea about its launch. Quote:
Octavia 1.9Tdi costs 9lacks exshowroom ? Not possible checked last week it's costs 11.85l even for a Base rider model so that's Unbelievable .
|
My dealer told me that. It coming OTR to around 10L. I am talking with discounts. Quote:
The Ambiente/Rider trims come without ABS though
|
Also since the Octy doesnot have ABS i am better off buying a Swift without ABS since the Swift is going to be faster with a Petes Box as its lighter and has more torque but then a Octy with a Petes is also quite a car.
What is the price of the Elantra CRDi OTR?? Quote:
Also what about the resale value?
|
Resale value of diesels in India is always good. Quote:
Please note that Fiat is the pioneer in CRDi technology and were the first in the world to develop this technology. At the appropriate time and suitable product range we will offer CRDi technology in the Indian market.
|
I agree Fiat is the pioneer in CRDi technology buttttttttt if a Skoda Octavia can produce a 90bhp from a 1.9L engine in non-CRDi frm then why does Fiats 1.9L block produce a measly 63bhp?? Why cant Fiat make better TDi technology if they cant get CRDi here. Quote:
Any known facts regarding long term maintenance of other Crdi cars like Accent / Scorpio.
|
There have been of Accent CRDI, Mercedes C220CDI and lots of others. I never liked diesel but after driving the Verna and Swift Diesel my opinion has changed totally Quote:
The Indian diesel market is spread across rural and urban cities with major markets being the rural towns where quality of fuel is very poor.
|
Wont be driving the car at all in rural markets and will be filling fuel from a very reputed station. |
