Help Needed: Choosing Between Altroz, i20, and Fronx
Hey Reddit community,
I'm on the hunt for an automatic car within the 10-11 lakhs range and could really use your advice. I have some pretty specific thoughts and concerns, so let me break it down:
My Preferences:
- Budget: 10-11 lakhs
- Smooth automatic transmission (not a fan of AMT/AGS)
Cars I've Considered:
- Altroz:
- Liked the overall feel but worried about the lack of power.
- Concerned it might struggle with a full load (4 people) or in hilly areas.
- Mixed experiences with Tata showrooms; took 2-3 weeks and four attempts just for a test drive.
- i20 (Sportz Variant):
- It's good but I'm seeing a lot of mixed reviews.
- My friend's family advised against it due to potential maintenance issues.
- Costs around 10.5 lakhs.
- Fronx (Zeta Variant):
- Liked it, has a TC model.
- Costs 13.2 lakhs on-road (originally 15.2 lakhs).
- Seems to have good build quality and mileage.
- Maruti's reputation for higher mileage and resale value is appealing since I might sell the car after 5 years.
So, my dilemma is whether to take a hit on my budget and go for the Fronx, given its higher mileage and purported resale value, or take a chance with the Altroz, despite my concerns about power and Tata’s customer service, or settle with the i20 despite the mixed reviews and maintenance concerns.
I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences with these cars or any other recommendations you have in this budget with a smooth automatic transmission. Thanks in advance!
