"Too much analysis causes Paralysis" - this was prooved true in our (me and my wife) recent experince of buying a car.
My earlier car- the trusted Alto was more than 5 years old, and as we were moving to a new region, hence we thought of buying a new car.
Initially we went ahead with the thought process of buying a car which is dependable, not so common on the streets, has good after sales service and is not heavy on my pocket (Read mileage :)).
That's how we started our hunt for that perfect car !
The only hitch was- my knowledge about cars and the different options. This played as
a double edged sword. The moment I took a test drive, I knew what was lacking - as usual I had all the reasons to reject and that played a major role in our 3 month prolonged seacrh for the vehicle.
Below you will find the list of options that I had a look at and I will. Rather than giving a detailed review of each of the vehicles, I have tried to rank them down in different parameters.
Hope this will help you in your buying decision as well - though again it will be very

Alas! we did not go for the Rank 1 (City) - rather we went for the Rank 2 ( Ertiga)!
Nice scorecard, but they say a car is an extension of one's personal self. Its always a liability because it depreciates in value over time and you never get as much as you paid to buy it unless you run it as as a taxi.
