Infact the car market is so huge that more and more foreign cars are entering the segment to give a riding experience never felt before to the Indian driver. New cars in India that will soon hit the market include Aston Martin, Audi Q7, Ford Focus, Hummer from General Motors, Outlander from Hindustan Motors Skoda Fabia, Volkswagen – New Beetle, Porsche – Cayman S and a few more models from Rolls-Royce.

With these cars entering the market you can look forward to top class machines spinning you around. But are they really meant for the Indian roads, you will know only once you get behind the wheel. Consumers in India prefer family cars like the Innova and other MUVs like Mahindra Scorpio, Tata Safari or compact cars that can provide parking anywhere. No doubt in this segment the Maruti 800 was the leader till a few years back. Now there is the Zen and Hyundai Santro that gives you more headroom and legroom.

So if you are planning to buy a car, first make up your mind as to what you want – style, looks, space, adjustable for family members etc. Once you made up your mind go to a few car dealers. The Indian car bazaar has big names like Autocar market, Vitesse and many more. Here in their showroom you will get a variety of cars all under one roof. So you can make a better choice.

At the end of the day if you think new cars do not fit your budget then look for used cars. Here too the market is substantial. Last year 2006-7 had seen a rise of 1 million users purchasing used cars. So the market is as big as the new car market.

So huge is the market with increasing takers that General Motors is planning to enter the pre-owned car market. Even Porsche has entered it and has sold 40 cars in the past eighteen months.
