1. First car for family:- pre-owned option under 4 lakh,

Hi everybody,

I'm looking for a car for my family, I'm taking it from the point of view of office and outings but We have an Alto and it doesn't have suaitable for a family right now.

Requirements,

• Petrol, Manual gearbox. Airbags would be nice to have.
• Primary usage would be shopping runs in the city and the occasional drive towards some touristy places.
• Highway running is minimal (once in 6 months or so).
• Must be low on maintenance (trouble-free ownership).
• Plan to hold onto it for at least 5 years.
• Budget - 4L, don't want to spend more now since BIL is in the army and they plan to get a car through CSD later.

Car Considered till now,

• Etios Liva (Cars 24 - Haven't driven this one yet. Car is in Mumbai.
• 2008 Mr. D.S. Pughazhyendhii gltis v, 32k kms - This one suddenly came into the consideration set. I drove it yesterday and the car is in top shape. Asking price 5L.

Things/opinion.

I feel it fits the bill nicely for my Family. It also falls within budget also it is a bit too much of a car to be their first car. It's designed and manufactured to transport 5 people, comfortably over really long distances; not to go grocery shopping or for the occasional weekend getaway. Moreover, it's too powerful for a new driver.

What would you guys advise?
