In old cars, the price difference is a lot between a VW Beetle and Honda civic as they are completely different cars.
If you want to buy a new nano car than Tata Motors have launched the Tata GenX Nano in bright colours. It is a compact hatchback car. The automatic variant is very easy to drive on the busy city roads.
I would recommend going for civic or corolla - corolla, especially if you could get an JAP version is a very stable car that I have used for years. Never had anything more reliable and same applies for my friend that works at DSRLeasing.
