Gone are the days when Indian middle class was struggling to get bread and butter and travelling in a packed buses and trains to reach office. Now except in Metro cities, people are either commute by 2 wheelers or by 4 wheelers. Thanks to liberalization and IT industries boom in India , the difference between the rich people and poor people is narrowing. After the 7th pay commission report the government servants are earning handful of salaries with so many other bonuses. Because of EMIs also buying of car is not a big issue.

The best car one should buy in India is in accordance with the road condition and raising petrol prices. So one should buy a car with best engine, which gives better mileage and less wear and tear complaints.
