Which is the correct option to buy. Either Petrol Version or Diesel Version of Car?
This is Sanjay, and staying in Chennai. I want to buy a car. Had 2 options in mind one with Swift Zxi and other with Honda Amaze S-MT (M). But am confused with which version to buy. Petrol or Diesel. With the current Price's and future hikes in fuel, which would be the correct option to buy. I will travel atleast 200-300 Km per month.
Let me know any additional details if you need.
This is my First Car.
Go for petrol swift zxi with abs
Living as I do in Australia I'm not familiar with the Honda Amaze. But if you look at the Diesel specifications at:

then compare them to the petrol Swift at:

it shouldn't be too hard for you to work out which would be the better car for both city and country running.
Honda Amaze 1.5 SMT i-DTEC [diesel]: 98 bhp, 200 NM of torque, fuel consumption 25.8 kmpl.
Suzuki Swift ZXi: 85 bhp, 114 NM of torque, fuel consumption 18.6 kmpl.
So then, in all departments of economy, performance and lugging power, the Diesel Honda is clearly better.
In real world terms, it means that in the Honda, you should get from A to B with much less effort than you would in the Swift, with much better economy.
In the final analysis, however, you do have to take into account the cost of diesel fuel compared to petrol where you live, but given the much greater fuel economy of the diesel Honda, in my opinion the petrol would have to be much much cheaper to make it worth considering the Swift.
Hope this helps.
FYI, my wife and I recently purchased a 2011 Ford Mondeo TDCI [diesel] wagon. It is easily the best car we have ever owned. Its last two diesel fill-ups showed that it would have travelled the equivalent of 1,116 kms and 1,097 kms respectively for its 70 litre tank, with a mixture of suburban and country driving.
And, with 120kw and 340 NM of torque, it will still do 0 - 100 kph in under 8 seconds.
- Which diesel car should i buy? VW Vento or Honda City? And why? I plan on buying a new manual transmission diesel sedan car in India. I have shortlisted the VW Vento (New 2015 facelift model), and the Honda City, and I have a budget around 12.5 lakhs. Which one should I go for?
- Which car should i buy toyota etios petrol or honda amaze petrol? Price is almost same, Amaze has 1200cc looks small and Etios has 1500 cc with 90 ps power has bigger space but simple car
- Which bike should i buy either of honda or yamaha? I love Yamaha bikes but due to less pocket money my parents force me to buy Honda bikes because of its resale values and also due to its costs… How should i convince them.
- Correct Oil sight window correct level on motorcycle? I have a Honda cbr600rr 2014 and I use hp4s oil 3 quarters. I changed my oil for the first time this spring and I never checked the oil after the first two days for leaks and so on and today I saw through the window that the oil is in the middle and was all the way on the top. No leaks no bad color no nothing. Am I burning oil or am I low. I will attach a picture. Thank you
