Kia Carens or a used sedan/SUV: Better first car purchase option

Used cars in consideration include Hyundai Creta, Maruti S-Cross, Honda City/Civic, Skoda Rapid, Toyota Corolla Altis.

BHPian NivasBaskaran recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Initially, I was considering getting a good pre-worshipped car for a budget of 8 lakh. For this budget, I would get a decent sedan/SUV. My usage will be mainly on highways.

After seeing Carens price, thought like, if I can stretch my budget, I will get a new spacious car. So, I went ahead and booked one. I know the fact, that the waiting period is really high and I will get enough time to think and decide. Booking is just to hold the slot just in case.

I need your suggestions here.

Requirement:

My concerns, with Carens 1.5 NA Prestige [considering it as a 5 seater with really big boot space]:

I need your suggestions on this matter. For my usage, should I opt for Carens, as it will have all good features or should I get some good premium hatch/sedan/compact SUV for a slightly lesser budget or stick with pre-worshipped cars under 8 lakh budget.

Other new cars in consideration:

Tata Altroz, Tata Nexon, S-Cross, Honda City 4th Gen

Used cars in consideration:

Creta, S-Cross, Honda City/Civic, Skoda Rapid, Toyota Corolla Altis, etc.,

Please key in your valuable suggestions. What will be your purchase?

Here's what BHPian Samba had to say on the matter:

My pick will be the Tata Nexon.
