Hello Abishek,

I am getting confusion on diesel or petrol car, which one is good for me. I am considering below points in car buying.
1. Fuel efficiency
2. Maintenance
3. comfort.
My usage will be per day 20 KM 22 days in a month, 4 week ends – 100 to 200. 2 or 3 months once 900 to visit my native place.

I have selected couple of model in petrol and diesel as well.
Petrol: Hyundai i10 Sportz and Ritz vxi.(both are at same price)
Diesel: Chev Beat LT and Ritz VDI(Ritz VDI is bit expense to me)

I heard one of new channel today. Govt going to remove the subcide on diesel. Still I am considering diesel bcz it gives more FE.

Please suggest which one is suitable to me.

Hi Abhishek / Sahil,
Am planning to buy a car….but my usage would be very less since i have to learn to driving, Whether its wise to buy a Diesel car in case if am driving the car twice in 2 weeks…that is 2 weeks around 50 to 100 kms. Since ppl around me say that its better to go for diesel rather than petrol due to the increasing prices. Please advise me!!!!

@Preetam: For your need I would recommend Figo diesel. Your usage is suitable enough for it. Compare to Micra and Etios, Figo is bigger and has got better boot space for your quite often outdoors. Also Interior and features are more attractive then the other duo. Now Ford has good service network and support as no. of vehicle are increasing on the road. you can find more details about the Figo in my other post rightindicator.com/ford-figo-reviews/ .

Hi Abhishek,

I am planning to buy a diesel hatchback and did go through the diesel vs petrol comparisions. It definitely makes sense when you eloborate it with numbers. My question to you is considering that i even opt to go for a petrol variant I would still take up a loan, however it might not be as much as I would plan to go when it comes to diesel.

My usage will be around 1400kms/month, and probably 2-3 trips a year outside of bangalore which would be around 3000kms/year additional.

I am currently looking at Ford Figo diesel/Nissan Micra/Toyota Etios Liva as my 3 preferences. I will be finalizing on one by end of this week. So any inputs from you on this would also help.

Comment on Comparison between Ritz, i10 and Swift by Abhishek Sahu

@soni, new swift is definitely a viable option among all of three, But you look at your requirement first, which is not clear !!! Swift/Ritz boot space is a problem where Wagon R provide surplus boot space and looks more airy inside, though its one segment down from the Ritz and swift, but not so conformable for long drive, rear seat is cramp. On the other hand if you are looking for the better performance and conformable drive, style then swift/ritz. Fuel economy of wagonR is better also comes with an option of CNG/LPG.

Suria, I don’t have any experience in this , but I would like to understand why you want to do this? Cost or just fun and experiment? definitely it would be huge effort and this custom configuration would not be less cost efficient than replacing it with new Beat Diesel, and you need an expert to perform it correctly, not sure if still you will be get away with small niggling problems after that. Diesel engines are around 100 kg heavier than petrol engines of same size, how that weight balancing and structural modification will be done, would be interesting to see. Please share with us if you are doing this custom work, I would love to see it.

Splendid analysis between Diesel Vs Petrol cars. I own Spark petrol, I would like replace its engine alone with Beat Diesel engine with necessary accessories. Would it possible and what would be cost involved. We have make a suitable mounting flange to couple the clutch unit along with Gearbox. Transmission system will not be disturbed. Would you able to consider this and respond to this and guide me suitable.
Regards,
Suria

In normal driving conditions, its the torque that matters.. not the bhp.
Modern CRDI diesels are much better than petrols.. In terms of sheer driving pleasure, mileage. Noise is comparitively more than petrol, but only marginally.
I have driven my friends FIAT PALIO MJD, and esteem 1.3 MPFI. Believe me much famed esteems 1.3L dont even stand near to MultiJet Diesels. The turbo kick will blow your mind off.. A new Swift Diesel is at 2K rpm when the speedo touches 80, which shows the effect of torque. Remember that the idle speed is 1K. What it means is that engine is not under any stress when it is cruising at 2K. remember the turbo is not even on, when it is at 2K. What it translates is that you can cruise at comfortable speeds, while keeping engine stress to a minimal level.

Even if the govt subsidy of 16 rs is taken out, still diesel is cheaper. Morover any modern diesel will give a mileage of 21km/ltr, while a famed Swift Petrol will give a 12K/liter in normal conditions. And swift Petrol K series is now 1.2L, which means that it has to work more to get the power and torque produced.

And about reliability, all new modern diesels will last a 3 Lakhs kms, with out any engine overhauling..

Hi, Don’t think of me as an expert in cars. but from my experience, a diesel is better if u travel a lot and keep the car for very long. if u are doing very few KMs and often chenge it for newer models, petrol is better bcas it cost less and need less to maintain. I tell u as an example, my cousin’s M800 was bought at 11000 (2nd hand), he used it for more than 5years and sold @ 92000! decide yourself. (I am a fan of jeep, don’t like cars and thus no confusion about petrol or diesel)
