Last month (13 May), i booked Wagon-R CNG at Wonder Cars showroom in Chinchwad, Pune.
i10, Polo, Beat(diesel) and Wagon-R were my options when i started to think of buying a car.
After searching on net for few days, I decided to buy CNG car mainly for 2 reasons. First and most important is running cost(mileage) and second is that CNG is considered as more environment friendly.
In company fitted CNG cars, I found Wagon-R CNG is best on many forums and even on one Car show on television. So final decision was simple when CNG option was decided. WAGON-R (CNG).
I personally like Polo very much in hatchbacks but when it comes to buying a car, there are many factors which we consider rather than your favorite car.
First and most important thing for middle class family like us is cost of running (i.e. mileage). As cost of petrol is going up day by day, buying petrol only car option was gone.
So other options were Diesel and CNG. I personally didn't wanna buy Diesel car (though Polo has diesel variant available). CNG was the option for first criteria. Polo, Wagon(R) and Beat were options remaining
Second thing was cost of maintaining and availability of service stations - Maruti Suzuki is the best in this criteria.
I was not sure about cost of maintaining WV so Polo option was dropped and I was having only 2 options Wagon-R and Beat .
Even though Beat has great features compared to Wagon-R, my final choice was Wagon-R only because is is Maruti car.
I have not got the delivery yet. I'll get it most probabily this month end or start of next month.
