The Other Cars: The Cars people buy when they don't want to buy a Maruti

Maruti in IndiaMaruti Suzuki has placed a stranglehold over the automotive market with its low prices, consistent reliability and exceptional after-sales service. When buying a car, Maruti is always the first choice due to its stellar reputation and long history with the Indian consumer. However, there are some areas where Maruti does fall short and this is where most consumers look elsewhere.

Maruti’s usually lack the quality of their European and Korean rivals, who offer better build quality and more features in their offerings. The only catch is that Marutis rivals are usually more expensive and are only kept as secondary options. That barrier can be greatly reduced by buying used cars that bring the same feature list at a more affordable price. These alternatives should definitely be considered while settling on buying a used car.

Hyundai

Hyundai is Marutis direct competitor and rightly so. The Korean manufacturer’s products are placed to directly compete with Maruti’s bestsellersbut are priced slightly higher than them.

However, used Hyundai cars such as the i10, i20, and Verna are quite common in the pre-owned car market. Hyundai cars offer better design and features, thus keeping them in sync with the times.

Honda

When it comes to getting feature-rich cars at affordableprices, Maruti’s Japanese rivals, Honda, are the perfect manufacturers for the job.

Honda’s product range is however too highly priced to take the fight to Maruti and only excel with the Honda City, the sedan segment where Maruti isn’t strong. Used Honda cars such as the Brio,Amaze, Jazz, City, and Mobilio are exceptional cars that become great deals with the low cost of used cars.

Volkswagen

Volkswagen brings the build quality that Maruti cars lack. The German manufacturer offers consumers carsthat focus on luxury and comfort without the price.

Volkswagen has performed well with theirPolo and Vento models and this trend isvisible in the used car space as well. Volkswagen’s cars have exceptional build quality and last longer than Maruti’s offeringsmaking them good long term choices as second hand cars.

Summary

There are plenty of options to consider when buying a car and it is important to look further than the reliable Maruti Suzuki. While the increased costs of the alternatives may be prohibitive, buying them used makes them very attractive propositions.
