I bought SX4 ZXi, after doing an analysis over 2 months on all the cars of this segment...and i m very satisfied with my decision. I took SX4 to Uttaranchal for an acid test....I got an average of 13.5 km/L with AC on!!!...the car was very well manageable on the steep curves of uttaranchal, till rudraprayag. On comparison of SX4 with City and Verna...it's the V-tech version of City which has the features which SX4 is offering...for which one needs to shell out additional 1.5L. City mileage of honda-city is definitely more than SX4 but then the ground clearance matters a lot during rainy season and indian roads???? Now its an indiviual's perspective for making a choice. Well I did not find it wise to shell out extra ...when I was getting a good deal in 7.75L..with a new looking car...which has a wide servicing network!! Now Verna....its the diesel model which is very successful for this car...the petrol version again is costing more for same feature, with nearly same mileage...more over I did not find verna appealing..especially the rear view!! The reverse parking of SX4 needs expertise in driving...but with parking sensors worth Rs. 2500/..I have managed that too...and Lately have seen so many SX4 on CNG that ..I would definitely opt for this sooner...so that the only negativity of the car, for middle class people like me (CITY MILEAGE 10 Km/L) can be brought under control. I drove the car at 120 km/L...and it ws very smooth...I did not have courage to drive it over this speed..so am not the right person to comment on high speed!!Good style, great presence on the road, sturdy car, boot space, fantastic ground clearance, great pirear seat, mileage
