I will also recommend Honda City considering your use. We have 3 Citys in our family and none has given any trouble so far.

With ANHC the problem is that low GC and suspension problem and a small big pot hole on the road can damage the vehicle and tear the tyres? Will not able to sustain the big thud on the road.

I had faced the same issue with my earlier civic. Hondas have problem with there suspension. So Considering these thing will it be wise to buy ANHC at such a premium.
Well Akash has told he has not faced any problem with his city so far!!

I think now a days most of the modern car have lower GC and we have to live with it. Or Govt. has to upgrade the road quality.
ANHC is having lower GC, but i don't think that could be a reason for not buying that car.
Regarding suspension, most of the Japanese/Korean cars have soft suspension. You will enjoy the ride in good roads, but on bad roads it will be problematic.

nothing comes close to perfect suspentions then FIAT, they have understood our needs and conditions which is why they have given perfect suspentions setup in their GP as well as Linea.If you can wait, surely do so, fiat might comeout with better linea engines.You can also look at new SX4, yes its dated but gives you new AT transmission as well for better city usage, its far better then their own autobox given till now, best GC offered till now.

GC can be compromised and over looked.

Yes hearing that fiat is coming out with a better engine.

SX4 has been ruled out by me as nothing much changes seen. Only 10 spokes wheel is making it lookwise good.

If I book it this week and the delivery is made to me this month then only I will book else then I will wait for Jan 2010.

Now choice is between Fiesta and ANHC.

Yes your decision makes sense. If you getting by month-end, take anyone between Fiesta or City (after test drive). Otherwise wait for sometime for Linea's new engine.

BTW, post some experience about your Cruze.

If you consider th drive, Fiesta has much exciting drive as compared to City. Very little diff but still it has. But in looks Fiesta looks a bit dated and city has much futuristic styling. Overall go for ANHC.hey have fantastic A.S.S. Regarding low G.C, not much of a problem unless you have huge crates n high speed breakers. Even they arent a problem if tackle them with low speeds.

@350Z yes I have seen the full review of SX4. He is wrong that SX4 looks dated. If you see 10 alloy wheels then the car looks great. When I was going for TD and was just crossing the road to get to the SX4. I was impressed with the wheels.

Yeah finally the choice has been narrowed down to Fiesta and ANHC. Lets see what the decision is made tomarrow.

i agree. SX4 started looking a bit dated. HCity had a generation change which is why it looks gr8 while SX4 had a facelift recently.Except for alloys no major change draws attention.
Anyways anuprav do tell us about your decision. we all are eagarly waiting for a new baby on TAI!!
