I presume you want a driver's car since you have shortlisted a lancer. but mind it my friend, the diesel heart of lancer is no fun at all. It is sluggish to say the least. After driving Getz CRDI you'll feel like crawling in a diesel lancer. Petrol version would be a better choice.I have owned a petrol lancer for 3 years and believe me every drive was awesome to say the least. The feedback from the steering wheel is spot on. Octavia would be a better choice but finding a clean example would be hard. If you are open to other options then I would like to suggest elantra CRDI + petes box, a killer of a combo.

That's what I suggested, an Elantra. You can get them real cheap. My neighbour bought one for 2.5 Lakhs. But be careful. Hyundai Diesels require a complete overhaul at 90K kms and this is damn expensive
There are plenty of good Octavia's in the market if you look around. I would suggest you stay away from the Lancer unless you want to do large scale mods.

Pre gen hyundai engines like accent crdi and elantra crdi may require some medicines after 1L kms.
new gen like verna and getz have different design and i feel they are better.
Though small signs of overhaul occurs in accent crdi at 1L kms , you can drive them for abt 1.5 to 1.7L kms with proper oil changes and etc.
Mahe is a part of pondicherry and mahe is in Kerala. While Pondicherry is bay of Bengal side , surrounded by tn!

Buddy are you sure you want a new car first up? If yes then , Lancer looks like an under-performer from other's views , so rule it out.
Octavia is a great driver's car but depends on your Skoda dealership.
Much cheaper option is Verna CRDI but driving this will be same like your Getz , you wont get that different car feel!

Sorry guys was not keeping well and also been a hectic week at work so was very sporadically checking out the messages.
I have decided to no go for the Lancer forward and Im thinking to go for a better one with a slightly higher budget by Diwali.
If I can pickup a good sparingly used Laura TDI for a steal I would be looking.
Im seriously also considering all your suggestions and may finally give in for the Octi

Just in case you plan to get a lancer, mine is for sale but then its in Pune :D Though I've got an email from a guy in Hyd. You can check my thread for detailed work I've done on it here http://www.theautomotiveindia.com/f...9-mitsubishi-lancer-slxi-limited-edition.html
You should get a Lancer :) Its a very fun car! No other car has given me that low seating, very racing kinda feeling!
