Honda Civic found an instant success in India when it was first launched because it didn’t  have a competition, in the case of looks or brand value or desirability of the car. Year-on-year Honda Civic has started losing ground to its rival who are now offering cars which are more cheaper and also offers the car in diesel variant. When you consider the fuel efficiency figures of Honda Civic it is not so great and it can be a turn off, which finally resulted n Honda pulling the plug on Honda Civic. The resale value of Honda Civic subsequently fell and that is why the Honda Civic is listed in the used cars segment. You can find 6 to 7 year old Honda Civics in the market that could be bought for less than 3.5 lakh rupees. Which turns out to be a great value for money when you consider the fact that you get a great car in that money. Talking in terms of space, quality, comfort it is a great deal for you.

Maruti Alto K10

The Alto K10 can be treated as the Maruti Alto’s cousin with a bigger and better engine. Maruti Alto K10 is a car popular with buyers and critics alike. The new generation of Alto K10 came out recently which actually means that the older Maruti Alto K10 has lost a significant bit of value in pre-owned car market. It is always a great fun to drive thanks to the 1.0 litre K-Series engine and the peace of mind which comes in-built when you own from the brand Maruti Suzuki.  Few cars which were listed was around Rs 2.5 lakhs which has clocked around 20,000 kms which means that the car is in a good shape. If you are looking for a car which is not too old or if you are looking for a car which has clocked less kilometres. The downside of owning Alto K10 is its lack of some important features and the interiors of the car are pretty basic and this particular model from Maruti Suzuki has been discontinued. The sales and after-servicing is something which you could cherish about.
