My kids are driven in my Toyota Corolla that now needs replacement.
The daily distance traveled is 30-50 kms max, all within south mumbai, amidst heavy traffic.
I just went to Hyundai and Honda and found out that:
– There is a Verna with a 6 airbags option. There are 2 airbags in the front and 4 on the sides. This (petrol) version is available for a cost Rs.12 lacs on road – Individual – South Mumbai delivery.
– The Honda City (petrol) comes with with 2 airbags is available for 10 lacs for an individual for South Mumbai delivery. The Honda City does not have additional airbags.
Questions:
– How important are air bags in city travel?
– The Honda guy kept bragging about some G-Con technology that he says makes Honda the ‘safest’ car in the world and that it was the overall car technology that was more important in safety than just airbags. Is that right?
– Are there better options in other cars that I can consider? My budget is 10-12 lacs for this car and I really don’t care about mileage etc.
I’m really not an ‘Auto’ guy – I mean I like cars but am just not motivated or knowledgeable to look up all this data. Hence please help here, assuming that you will already know this etc?
Thanks!
