After 9 years of blessed motoring, I americium considering saying bully bye to my 4th Gen City, which has been an astonishing and fuss escaped partner. I americium looking to regenerate the aforesaid with an introduction lux conception car. The situation is that immoderate caller car I bargain has to acceptable successful a narrowish and awkwardly positioned parking slot. About 1800 mm width is the saccharine spot and thing bigger is retired of the question.

This means my choices are constricted to an A200/220 Gran Coupe/Mini Cooper.

In the non-luxury conception arsenic well, my lone prime truly is either the Creta oregon the Compass

My driving needs:

1) We are a household of 2 - My spouse commutes regular to enactment and I enactment chiefly from location with occasional visits to clients/office, doubly a week astatine astir

2) I utilized to thrust an X1 and my woman utilized the City with a driver. But station covid some of america changed professions and we nary longer person a driver. My woman present uses the X1 arsenic her regular operator (and perfectly refuses to power to the City) and present I americium utilizing the City but since it is simply a manual and I find it hard to header successful Mumbai traffic, which is cardinal trigger to alteration the car.

3) I similar to support my cars for a agelong clip - 10 years is my mean ownership magnitude for astir cars. I would similar to person a fuss escaped ownership acquisition with the adjacent 1 arsenic well.

4) I americium a sedate and calm operator but connected roadworthy trips erstwhile I similar to person a spot of amusive (within ineligible limits astatine each times).

5) The car volition beryllium chiefly utilized to commute to meetings erstwhile oregon doubly a week, a play thrust and a roadworthy travel 1/2 times a year.

I person conscionable started exploring the possibilities and americium unfastened to caller oregon used, depending connected the woody I get.

Given my usage pattern, I was reasoning of petrol alternatively than diesel. I person ne'er utilized a diesel car but for a diesel Polo implicit 10 years ago. Loved the car, hated the VW work acquisition (thats the lone car I sold successful little than 3 years). Mileage is not a large interest since driving is limited.

Some of the possibilities are:

1) Have seen a lightly utilized 2021 A200 Petrol astir 32-33 L and a 2022 GLA AMG and a 220i astir 44L. Initial conversations without overmuch dialog ...

2) Have not yet started looking astatine caller cars, program to commencement soon arsenic well.

Would emotion immoderate proposal astir what bash one look retired for ... immoderate views, suggestions etc would beryllium welcome.
