A Boy And His Car…

Every boy love to own a car. When he comes of age, which is one of his dreams. I was lucky enough to drive few new cars, enough to tell you some tips about what to buy first. I’ll tell you a little bit about some cars you should consider buying first if you are living in Sri Lanka.

Indian Cars… That should sum things up. Cheap and small, ideal for any boy to buy one if he’s “new” conscience. Let’s rundown some cars I know. Best for the last…

Maruti Suzuki

Cheap; that’s the only good thing about it. It’s not a bad car, but no soul or passion. Ride is stiff and uncomfortable. You do get a “Car” for the namesake of it. Buy this if you have absolutely no money to buy anything else. Good mileage to the gallon though. Seating best for 4 (including the driver).

TATA Indigo

Good car. Lightyears better than Maruti. Got enough convenience and a boot for if you are a “family helper” type of fellow. Comfortable ride and comes with a good stereo and A/C. 5 people (including the driver) can comfortably enjoy the journey.

TATA Indica GLX Xeta

Truly a masterpiece. A Hatchback with style. Got an excellent stereo system, A/C and super comfortable. Most spacious of the 4 cars I’m reviewing right now. Only trouble is the engine. As you accelerate you’ll feel that the car is slightly moving towards right. Still, good value for your money.

Maruti Suzuki Zen XLI

Absolutely brilliant hatchback. Ride is very very very enjoyable. Comfort is at its best. It’s like putting together a car with all the good qualities of TATA Indigo and Indica. Only drawback is the stereo. It is not as good as the Indica’s. Never-the-less Suzuki Zen gives you more value for money plus energy efficient too. I haven’t driven the new version… it looks absolutely FANTASTIC!

That’s about it. I’ll review more cars when I drive them. I hope that this will help you in some way to pick a good Brand New Car as your first vehicle.
