| Hatch match | 21-NOV-09 |
|
| I’m considering buying a hatchback for local commutes for my children. My requirement is for a car that is easy to drive, fuel efficient, low on maintenance and has a refined engine. I am considering the Maruti Suzuki Alto, the Hyundai i10, Hyundai Santro, Maruti Suzuki A-star and Chevrolet Spark. The Alto has good manoeuvrability but seems to be outdated. My budget is Rs 3-3.50 lakh. |

| Maruti Suzuki: On a roll | 27-OCT-09 |
|
| India’s biggest car maker has sold a bigger share of more profitable cars and also exported more in the September 2009 quarter. This has pushed the operating profit margin (opm) up by 70 basis points sequentially to 11.9 per cent. With governments offering scrappage incentives, the demand for small cars in the overseas markets was strong and Maruti’s exports increased 109 per cent year-on-year. That drove the company’s top line up by a smart 47 per cent year-on-year. |

| Now year this | 17-OCT-09 |
|
| I have been using cars since 1960 onwards. In my working daysin India and abroad, I have driven Hondas, Mercedes-Benzes and various other cars. Today, after retirement and at 79 years of age, for the last six years I have been using a Hyundai Santro Xing. On an average, per day, I drive 12 to 15 km and once a month, whenI go out of Pune, I do about 100-150 km. My only problem is accommodating my luggage in the boot, and therefore I’m thinking of buying a new car with large luggage space. I had zeroed it down to the Swift Dzire, but the dealer said ‘no bookings’. I am in no hurry and can wait. Do you have any suggestions, and can you recommend any other car? My budget is Rs 6-7 lakh. |
