I’m a first-time car buyer with a family of four. I drive only in the city, and usage is very low. Since parking space is small, Chennai‘s city and street roads are narrow and often flood, I’m thinking of going for a lower-segment automatic car like the Alto K10. Will it better serve my purpose, be safer, and more economical?

The Maruti Alto K10 AMT is a good choice if narrow roads and tight parking are issues you need to consider. However, given that you are a family of 4, it makes sense to consider a Maruti Wagon R. While it is larger than the Alto K10, it is still manageable in size. The biggest advantage of the Wagon R is space. The cabin is very spacious, which is something your family will appreciate.
