ALTO K10 vs. Micro Panda (Geely LC 1.3)
First off all, I want to blog about Maruti ALTO K10 car. Before I start this, I want to say that I'm just an ordinary person who doesn't have much knowledge on technology. I wanted to buy an ALTO car because most of my friends recommended it to me. So I have visited the showroom located in Borella. When I was entering the building I saw the new K10 car and straightaway I headed to that direction. The car is nice and I wanted to see its options which left me disappointed.
When I was seated on the driving seat (after seat adjustment) I found that there is not enough space at the back seat and front (Knee space). Basically the sales person told me the car comes with full options. But when I inspected the side mirrors it came only manual adjustment levers; only the front doors are supported with power-shutter facility; no radio; driver's seat is really small; and, 1000CC Engine.
The car comes to a total of Rs.14,250,000/-. My budget for the car was at 1.5 max, and there were no other solution for me. So I left the showroom and on my way to home, I saw the Micro Showroom located in the same area. So I thought of dropping by.
To tell you the truth, the Micro showroom has changed my perception on car. I told the Micro sales person that I want to check cars within the budget of 1.5. So he showed me the New Micro Panda (Geely LC 1.3) car. The car is really awesome --- nice design, enough space (knee space) between seats. It comes with full-options. (Including Power Mirrors). Basically once I buy that car, I don't have to do anything. Also the car has a full band tuner with CD, MP3 player that supports USB. When I inquired about the price, it left me with a smile. It was just Rs.13,950,000/-. I told the sales person that I want a test drive. The car is really stable. I drove in a speed 110 KMph and the breaks are working perfectly, not like ALTO. Micro Car comes with VOLVO technology 1300CC Engine. This car perfectly fits me.
