Questions you may find useful

•14w

I am planning to buy a new touring car and want a naturally aspirated petrol manual. The cars I have shortlisted are: Suzuki Jimny, Honda Elevate, Tata Sierra (maybe diesel?), Hyundai Creta/Kia Seltos, and Suzuki/Toyota Grand Vitara. I need advice on the best price-to-value, and general service-related problems are not an issue (I usually service my car myself). If possible, please explain the compromises, both mechanically and feature-wise.
