EMI deduction from salary - nice scam. Go for the new diesel Octavia. You will have to eat a bit less everyday, but it will be worth it.

This is the likely reason not to go for it.

Also i am little keen on new car than the used one.

Company will foot the bill but with an arrangment of EMI deduction from salary. So the additional stroke will be in installments not upfront.

i looked at Civic but again cost is main hindrant.

civic is perfect 10....but in your budget its not possible thats why i didn't mentioned it....

Dear Tylerji,
from Carwale i could find following details on mileage of honda city v/s fiesta diesel..

Fuel Economy Honda City ZX GXi Ford Fiesta 1.4 ZXi TDCi
Mileage (Highway) km/liter 17.3 18.8
Mileage (City) km/liter 11.7 13.9
Mileage (Overall) km/liter 12.8 14.9

here they show mileage only around 18.8 kmpl v/s 17.3 of city petrol.

you mentioned 25kmpl for fiesta diesel.

any further idea for correct kmpl?
