Indian car market lacs diversity. Below 15lakhs one can only buy a commuter now. Is it the people , companies or the government that's killing the fun to own a car at reasonable cost.
*Nope! There are many fun to drive cars from Ford, Honda,etc.* *It's mainly the fact the Indians buy car which offer more value for money offerings specially under 7 lacks! So there is no govt. Intervention. GET YOUR FACTS CHECKED!*
This is my favorite topic. My top three are Fords, Fiats and 90s Marutis. Particularly, Fiesta, Figo, Punto, Linea, Palio, Zen, Esteem, Baleno, 800 and Alto LX (not LXi). Tremendous fun to drive.
Well I still think the earlier 2010 Honda Civics are still lot of fun and customisable than other cars.. The 1.8L Vtech is such a capable and free revving engine and thankfully its mated to a 5-Manual rather than a sloppy CVT. It might be a tab costlier but it’s still worth every penny. It’s one of my favourites in my personal bucket list
I recently bought the Fiesta 1.6S in Feb and it has been a dream to drive. The pleasure of driving it just cannot be explained by words and has to be experienced. It's all the car you need, whether city, highway or the hills :)
2 years back I bought a 2011 Renault Fluence (pre-facelift) petrol automatic version with 137 bhp. It was a significant upgrade for us from the Indigo Manza, and it helped me touch 192 kph on the highway from Chennai to Trivandrum even in the automatic mode! The Honda Accord V6 was my dream choice, but I couldn't find one then. Sure, driving that would have been out of this world and, aesthetically, those triangle lights are unparalleled. But the curvy lines of the Fluence are satisfying me pretty well, and in black it looks straight out of a Hollywood spy movie!
Yeah.. In my college saw mny of those.. However always liked the older version of Skoda.. Really gonna buy 1day.. My town made car.. Jn Aurangabad.. So personal in heart!
I've seen the same blue Accord V6 featured in the video on Marine Drive a couple of times. What made my head turn was the custom blue paintjob and 17" alloys taken off of an Innova Crysta.
I got a lovely 09 Civic 1.8 VMT this lockdown 👍.. best decision ever. She is a beauty, so comfortable and the best engine and handling you can have at this price point. And honestly it's quite cheap to maintain. Thought if you break anything, the OEM parts come expensive. U can find quite a big accessories & costomization market in India.
Fact is this that after the END of the lock down, each & every car would have some or the other repairs. Those repairs could be minor or even major. BREAKDOWNS !
Such practical resource is what I have been looking for. Now, with the pandemic and WFH professional environment come with plenty of time that could be used in restoring and moding car of my choice.

So true bhai. Very rare to find one, atleast in Hyderabad. I hv a friend who owns 2, both r in truly immaculate condition. 1st is complete stock n d 2nd is completely modified. Both r VTecz.
Nice work. One problem I see is that most of the models you are referring may require either FC to be done or these are the cars already running on FC and availability of spares for these models might be scarce as well require time. After their purchase, If in case any of these cars need to be sold then there won’t be any demand in the market given the surge in BS6 line up of cars and contemporary standards of loaded features. Having said this, the cars listed by you are fun to drive but owning these cars may be tricky.
Is it possible to buy cars older than 15 years in Delhi NCR considering the scrap policy, If yes would love to know how. Been looking to get a first get Honda City, still one of the most fun cars I've driven.
Lovely video i must say but problem with these cars is you have to be very cautious while buying them if not done correctly can be a headache... used cars need to be checked throughly and should be certified
Shiv Vashishtha Bhargava baleno rs is discontinued and gt tsi have discontinued the dsg transmission now it gets torque converter so new i20 dct makes sense
iam proud to hear that gypsy are best for defense forces and I drove it in my past days. swifts design are attractive from now to old. and now we come to sedans Ford festa and city looks similarly in look but skoda car looks angry. because of its grill shows a bold look now fiat cars look premium and luxury in these segments.
The 1.3 petrol of old swift is a complete monstar it can pass 100 in 2nd gear even way better than todays new petrol engines in the segments it canreach 0 t0 100 in 9.35 sec etc And the old gen Alt k10 K10B engine is just fab itrevers all the way up to red line easly and even funny part is that because the better power to weight ratio and peppy k seres engine , it can reach 0 to 100 in 11.8 sec even same as new gen swift petrol or even better
I'm really surprised that the Honda civic did not make this list. Enthusiast and civic go hand in hand.
that's bcoz the 1st gen city was based on a civic
Still the civic is great
Can't believe this is Autocar India, i thought you guys only do reviews and stuff. Good to see you guys expanding the content.
This is the video I was looking for quite a long time
More videos like these!
Maybe a next video about the best tuner cars in India. 🙌
Damn trueee

India does not have a car culture but it has a lot of ricers and people who just buy cars for dikhawa ki mere paas bhi car hai!
It's because of taxes
@@Movableobject facts:p usually civics
Mainly because of taxes
The best video u ever made,this is the video where ur talent and our needs coincides 100% ,wish u made a series of content like this

They were the last real civics !
Proud owner of such a Civic and it's 8 seconds of 0-100 timing
Absolutly , i have it with great YOKOHAMA tyres.. great fun.
NithiSh JVJ kudos to that!
Proud owner of 2008 Swift 1.3 petrol, it's a gem
I have 2006.. It is ...
Kushal 1127 I have 2007
You gotta be living in major cities to have prices like this, smaller towns have highly inflated prices for used cars
You can buy cars from anywhere...
I recently bought the Fiesta 1.6S in Feb and it has been a dream to drive. The pleasure of driving it just cannot be explained by words and has to be experienced.

Check the bottom sides of both front doors...chances are it's completely rotted from rust.

My uncle has a 2006 1.3 petrol which has now run 3,30,000 kms and still runs like a dream.
These kind of reviews we need from Autocar
I feel Honda City and suzuki Zen is the best value if you wanna customize the performance
Nothing can match the feel of driving a fiat
Exactly
Linea ♥️Tjet
I wish youtube had more videos of this kind...gr8 video man....thank you
Skoda Octavia was my dream car in childhood but now i cant buy new 1st generation that generation was iconic design👌🙏👍
Yeah.. In my college saw mny of those.. However always liked the older version of Skoda.. Really gonna buy 1day.. My town made car.. Jn Aurangabad.. So personal in heart!

Superb this what I love to see
One of the best video on autocar india
THIS is the content I love to see. Thanks very much for this Cyrus!
I own a 1st gen k10 .And actually I didn't know it was a fun car until I started driving it
being car enthusiast India is pain in the butt itself, this situation added insult to the injury😥😥

You revived my trust for fun cars in India
Thank you so much
Love autocar for mixing things up
In India : Swift,Fiesta
UK,USA:Vauxhall Monaro or a Mazda Miata NA, NB.
Great content! If you had the list extended beyond 5 I believe Lancer, Camry and Civic would've made it
2:24 Daddy VTEC up front
Son is behind with no VTEC kicking in
Hi.. what about a Mitsubishi cedia sports edition? It was sold in india till 2013 I think
@ШИРИШ I don't think you're aware of the indian market. Theres no evo here. Imported evos are very rare and are extremely extremely expensive.
Cedia is an amazing choice
What's the price of cedia back then?
@@shashankreddy3646 The final versions went for 8 lakhs ex showroom with the momo steering and other kit

waiting for more videos like this,on mods,performance upgrades 😍😍😍😍.
Linea is best among the lot
The bmw 530d E60 is tad bit costly but has the potential of the modern bmw’s.
Linea TJet+ make 114hp in stock , with 4 disk breaks . And yes, Itallian driving dynamics, sharp n alive hydraulic steering
One of the best content video of Autocar India ❤️

Even I'm looking for that Zen. There are ton of this which can be done to that vehicle
Excellent list Cyrus! I can tell you that it's very difficult to find a factory condition Honda City.
So true bhai. Very rare to find one, atleast in Hyderabad. I hv a friend who owns 2, both r in truly immaculate condition. 1st is complete stock n d 2nd is completely modified. Both r VTecz.
1st & 2nd Octavia & Linea TJet are owned by me. Great cars 👏👏👏
Skoda Octavia vrs, ford fiesta s.. really cool to hear. Real hard to find.

Been looking to get a first get Honda City, still one of the most fun cars I've driven.
Love these kind of vids, keep them coming 😍😍
We used to have the 2007 swift till 2021,it never gave up on us but we upgraded to a Kia seltos. Still miss our old car 😭
Lovely video i must say but problem with these cars is you have to be very cautious while buying them if not done correctly can be a headache... used cars need to be checked throughly and should be certified
Fiesta 💪💪💪
1.MITSUBISHI CEDIA
2.HYUNDAI ACCENT
3.Chevrolet Cruze
4.HM CONTESSA
5.VW JETTA
contessa is pain in the ass
Other than the cedia the rest are complete trash.
I am thinking of buying the upcoming hyundai i20 in the 120hp variant. Is it a good purchase as a family hatchback.
No . Go for new TATA altroz or Suzuki Swift ...
@@karunaammaan807 Polo GT TSi or even a used Baleno RS! What a car!

Ahh ,sweet 🤩. Been looking for a project car.
Loved the vid! We need one for bikes and one for scooters too please!
I have ford fiesta 1.4 tdci that same blue colour you shown in the video..
Thats 1.6S and a fastest fiesta in India
That blue would have repainted. It just comes in 1.6S DuraTec. Color is called 'Aquarius Blue'.
I think Skodà Laura TSI has the maximum modifying capability and the most fun used 2nd hand under 2l
Facelift or pre facelift
Niket Jha
Both
Super video would love to more such videos..😍
Most of them have true soul of cars. But yes some are costly to maintain. Octavia, Fiesta n City my all time favorite.
Skoda Octavia is a reving beast❤️❤️❤️
Nope. It's turbocharged.
Nice info guide ... Thank you ... How about used buying safari ... Between 2002 -2008 model
Well no any engine can compete with Honda's V-tec. Drive it once and then u will fall in love with that legendary engine
Old BALENO 1.6 💪
We want more videos like this guyss
Ford Fiesta👍🏻
What was the price of Lancer evo X and how much will it cost now(2nd hand) ?
I've seen one for 48 lakhs. 2012 model.
All the mentioned cars are priced 1 to 1.5 lakhs more in OLX
Remember, don’t buy a Mercedes if you can’t afford to treat it like one.
After a very long time a really good video from auto car show....
Lancer
Opel Astra club
Opel Corsa sail 1.6
Ever heard of 'handling'
Finally a video on used cars
Exactly the video I was looking for lol wanting to buy a used car for my stay in India 🇮🇳

Hyundai Accent 1.6 gls abs is also good
Ya But Hyundai's lack steering feed back do not handle like the cars mentioned....Even today. There is a reason there is no Hyundai in this list.
Am entering to my first year of college...thinking of takin a q4
With the vehicle scrappage policy around, beware before you invest in any car which is older than 15 years !
Ford Ikon 1.6 is missed in this list!
Should we buy a used TUV300. Is it a reliable car and how’s the maintenance cost?
Please help.
Old Baleno 1.6 was a fun car
Maruti suzuki swift always rocks👍👍👍
Kindly do the same for luxury cars under 10 lac..
Worth buying Fiat Linea diesel in 3 lakhs in 2020?
2015 model
Mitsubishi lancer diesel is good to buy and is it good for easy availability of spares,maintenance in Pune❔

Accord V6 is the way to go.
