  1. You should have mentioned all the car names in each segment for better comparison and understanding.

    You have not considered from the safety point of view.

    You cannot award a car as the most reliable if it is alone in its segment!

    You cannot choose a car which is yet to be launched based on spied information!

  2. Did you get paid from Maruti Suzuki to show their cars as reliable. None of them has 5Star ratings,
    As per your logic, if Maruti Suzuki covers every section of card with Air Bag, it will become the most Safest & Reliable car.
    What about its metal body quality, it will still be a TIN KA DABBA.
    What is costlier?
    Human life or Maruti Suzuki’s Car?
