Questions you may find useful

I am confused between the Tata Safari Petrol MT and the Tata Sierra Accomplished/Accomplished+ Petrol AT. This will be my first car, and I plan to keep it for around 8-10 years. My primary requirement is a real-world city mileage of at least 10-11kpl. Most of the driving will be in the city, with a monthly running of around 300km and one long trip every 1-2 months. Good road presence is also important. I would also prefer an engine with enough power for effortless highway overtaking. My wife is particularly interested in the passenger screen available on the Sierra Accomplished+, which is why I am considering stretching the budget for it. However, the Accomplished+ is around Rs 2 lakh over my original budget. Considering my usage and requirements, which car would make the most sense? If the Sierra is the better choice, should it be the Accomplished or Accomplished+? Is spending around Rs 2.5 lakh more on the Accomplished+ mainly for the passenger screen and additional features actually worth it?
