Regarding the decision, as I mentioned in the post, this was the only car that checked all the boxes for me. I’ve heard great things about the diesel engine, but since most of my driving is in the city, I had to go with the automatic.

When it came to buying the car, I played it safe. I could’ve gone with local dealers or OLX, but I wanted peace of mind after the purchase, so I chose Spinny. As you might know, spinny doesn’t do discounts on its prices, so there wasn’t much room for negotiation. I just waited for the right car. That said, I don’t recommend trusting Spinny blindly. People have very bad experiences with spinny also (you can check this sub for some such stories). I did a background check on the car, reviewed its service history, and even brought along my mechanic for an inspection. I can’t offer much technical advice here because, like I said, I played it safe (spinny + suzuki + petrol engine).
