Trending Questions on MG Comet - Answered by Autocar Experts
I am looking to buy a second small car for Mumbai city for my wife. She is a new driver and will use it mainly for local commuting with my child. I want an automatic. My budget is up to Rs 10 lakh, and I am looking for something very compact and practical. I liked the MG Comet, but found it very overpriced and could not find any substitute for it. I also considered the Maruti Suzuki S-Presso, but could not get over the looks of the Comet. Any suggestions would be helpful.
My daily running is 300 km. I want to know if shifting to an EV is a good idea or if I should continue with an ICE vehicle.
Hi, I currently own two cars - a 10-year-old Honda City VDi and a Maruti Ertiga VDi. Now, I want to buy a small car for daily commuting in Kolkata traffic. I’m looking for something reliable, easy to drive, and fuel-efficient. Which model(s) would you recommend and why?
Since your intended usage will be in Kolkata traffic, we don't recommend a diesel engine, like you have in your other two cars. Depending on your budget, you could consider a petrol car or even an EV. Among petrol cars, you could get a Maruti Swift under Rs 10 lakh, which is easygoing and efficient. And if you're after an EV, consider the MG Comet EV if you don't need a lot of space - its compact footprint makes it ideal for traffic. An EV will always have lower running costs and a smoother drive than a petrol car, which is helpful in traffic.
I need a compact city car - automatic, petrol or electric. I checked the Comet but found it overpriced and the seats uncomfortable. My budget is under ₹10 lakh, though I can stretch slightly. Which models should I consider?
If you are open to buying an electric vehicle, the Tata Tiago EV is a good option for city use. It's got a smooth powertrain and is much more practical than the MG Comet you also considered. There's also the option of the Tata Punch EV, though it is slightly out of your budget.
Among petrol automatic cars within your budget, the Hyundai i20 iVT and Citroen C3 AT have the smoothest automatic gearboxes. The Maruti Suzuki Swift AMT is also a good city car, though the AMT gearbox isn't as nice.
Want a second EV for daily solo city driving (≈700 km/month) with a ₹10 lakh budget. Please recommend models.
The Tata Punch EV is a really well-rounded vehicle, and makes for a great EV runabout. However, if you are open to its unconventional styling and two-door layout, the MG Comet is an excellent secondary vehicle on account of its compact dimensions. It is very easy to drive and park, and it is one of those cars which you will truly appreciate for its merits as you begin to live with it.
I currently use an i10 Hyundai. My monthly usage is approximately 300 km. Should I buy an EV automatic or a petrol automatic? My budget is around ₹8 lakh.
Hi, I want to purchase a new car for my wife as a replacement for the Santro, with similar dimensions. Her daily office commute is around 30 km. Will an EV make sense?
Purely from a financial point of view, a petrol car will be a sensible option since the daily usage is limited. However, an EV like a MG Comet or Tata Tiago EV, will be far smoother and quieter than any ICE automatic option. So, get an EV only for the superior drive experience.
