Help Needed To Choose the Best Petrol Hatchback (6 Lacs)

[Sanjaysk]

1. Fuel Efficiency- City with AC(14 to 15) & Highways(15 if you are driving 100+ kmph speed. if you can drive 70 kmph on highway you can get upto 18 easily)
2. Do you also feel lack of power & pickup(As I felt it during TD) - If you are a technical driver you would know that you get best accilaration in the 3rd gear. Reason being the gear ration keeps the engine rpm in the power band. I drive about 200+ km continuously on highway every alternate week and believe me i found many racers in on the way and left behind every one. You can be left behind only with SUVs like Audi, fortuner, XUV500 etc.
3. Your experience on service cost & mantainance - I has my second free service 15 days back, it cost somewhere around 1100 Rs (for fuel and oil filter). But i feel labour cost is bit high.
4. Actual need & use of luxury features present in i20- All the luxury feature are very needful. once you started driving i20 you will feel lack of luxury in other cars.
5. Ease of driving and comfort (City as well as Highways)
City Driving 100% marks due to ease of driving with light steering.
Highway Driving 80% marks due to difficulty of driving with light steering at speed around120 kmph and more. Once you get used to it, it does not become issue.

Dont know why but eventhough I admire Swift, Not getting that feeling of buying it....

As of now I think of these two options:

1. Honda Brio VMT- Thanks to all for such a gr8 suggestion
2. Hyundai i20 Sportz

Price Difference is Approx 75K between these two!!!!!! Suggest

Iam owning a hyundai product and suggesting u to stay away from i20 as its very expensive to maintain also ride quality is not at par compare to swift and brio.

i20 has only 2 positives i.e little bit extra space and better quality interiors.now its ur choice engine/handling/ride quality/peace of mind is more imp to u or the space with nice interiors.

Although it doesnt mean swift and brio are having low quality interiors.

Sory but here what i feel
Low maintainance - brio
Service network- swift,i20
Built quality- polo
Resale-all petrol cars hv low resale compare to diesel.
Spacious - jazz/liva/i20
Fuel efficiency - brio,swift,jazz.(i20 is having worst fuel efficiency compare to all in its segment)
