Questions you may find useful

I am looking for a car with a budget below Rs 10 lakh. My usage will be mostly on highways, with a 500-600 km trip to my native place and back from Bangalore approximately once every two months. I don’t need the car much for daily city commuting, as my office is nearby. I have shortlisted the Maruti Swift, Maruti Baleno, Toyota Glanza, and Hyundai i20. Considering my usage, I would like to know which car would be the best overall, especially in terms of: Highway comfort and stability Low body roll Low driver/passenger fatigue on long journeys Comfortable suspension and seats Highway performance and overtaking ability Safety and build quality Fuel efficiency Ease of driving for a beginner If there are any other cars under Rs 10 lakh that you think would suit my requirements better, please suggest those as well. I would like to keep them in consideration.

I have shortlisted the Grand i10 Nios AMT, Baleno AMT, i20 Sportz IVT, and Punch Adventure AMT. My monthly running will be around 300-500 km, with about two long trips per year. I am looking for a reliable car, and mileage is not a major concern. Which car should I go for? Any other recommendations are also welcome.
