Bought diesel verna 3 months back, have been a long time owner of swift, Brezza and amaze. One thing you notice right away is the refined engine and smooth cabin .
I couldn't love it less. The ride is fantastic and tension free. It gives good fuel economy as well. I'd prefer this again over Creta or Seltos. Infact given the costs involved and depreciation it would be wise to give it a shot over harrier (I might be speaking way too much here). Only issue is when you're above 5"10. Then the rear seats would be a bummer. Boot space is awesome so is the music and drive pleasure.
