Do not buy an Ammerican car. They lack craftsmanship and quality. Go for a Japanese or, if you can spend more, a European car.

I agree with Hasan Shaikh, never go for American car in this country. Try Japanese and if you can spend more, for sure that the German Brand "BMW" and recently they have the free insurance and other offers of maintenance.

Since your topic is about economical car ask for the BMW 320i Saloon at BMW Showroom, I am sure it matches your requirements.

A KIA will always turn heads and give you good mileage for your litre of petrol..

you are stuck in the same rut as me...
anyways whether you want to pick up a new car or a used is personal choice...if you are thinking of any American car you can get great deals on slightly used cars as the cars have low resale value...but if you are going for a Toyota or Nissan you can always buy new as you will get your money back when you sell the car...
The Charger and Epica are worlds apart...The Charger is a driver's car...one of the best American new age muscles...specially the R/T P AWD package...the Epica is more of a family car...my opinion would be to go for a nice slightly used R/T...coz 50 kms a day wouldn't hit your pocket too badly...the cat guzzles but not as much as the 8 cyl. SRT8...
no offense andre...but the Karwa drivers also hate their Fords... not dependable in the long run...They don't run for long if you keep the a/c on for too long...which means come summer and you are in trouble...same problem as the KIA...but then again if you are only unning 50 kms a day it should be good...but man if you want an economical car you should think of the Camry, Accord or the Altima...and the Altima and Accord Coupes look stunning too...Japanese cars are more bang for your buck...but driving an American RWD/AWD car is an other worldly experience...so at the end of the day it's your call

Low cost Economical Car:

1. Suzuki Alto. QR 30,000
2. Nissan Sunny. QR 45,000
3. Honda CRV. QR 90,000

(Note you can have 3 Altos or 2 Nissan Sunny for the price of one CRV!!!).

Used car market has gone up a little. Better is to buy new. you will not have any major problems till 10 yrs minimum.

Thanks MD. KIA is the best. If the Brits are going for it, it has to be special.

xxc said choices! ...

economical? well u can buy a toyota yaris or corolla. it is so economical but i would not take that decision.u have a family and some people here drive like crazy in their suvs'!even if u r single.. it is still not secure. i had to drive a small sporty car and one landcruiser crashed me! i spend months to heal my injuries! if u want my advice, get urself a landcruiser. the petrol is cheap here. so it doesnt matter and u r safe.u can use it for daily work, for deser safari...maintenance free(almost) no headach. great AC.. nice car! we have 2 now at home. sellin one soon and keep the new.
