        I heard i20 petrol has a milege of 8-10 km/litre…which would bcum heavy on pocket if u drive more than 1000kms a month…go 4 the polo….great looks, comfort plus volkswagen has a good sales and service.BRIO is like the new version of the old maruti 800 with added features….but a fantastic car..u can close your eyes and bet on honda…cheers.

        Go for i20 dude, its premium in all areas even magna has all the features u wanted in a hatchback. i20 For – Space, comfort, features. I am not very sure if i20 gives 8-10 in city, as per my knowledge it gives 13kmpl. If u can reconsider ur options check JAZZ which is awesome VFM (after price cut).

        TATA Service sucks ! … Very coslty and they cheating a lot. So, Its obvious Fiat cars’ maintenance should also be expensive as it is done by TATA. my friends’ own Chevy, Suzuki and Hyundai cars … their maintenance were very cheap.
