Consider i20 and baleno. READ THIS

1. Good. No complaints here 2. Riding experience is bit on a .... Soft side(poor vocabulary) I would say, there is no pick up on 2nd gear. Speed will pick up from the transition period of 3rd gear to 4th. After forth, there is no complaint. 3. Looks magnificent inside out. The interior is beautifully designed, exterior is built far superior that baleno. If you are planning to buy a car in this segment and considering both cars(baleno and i20), I will get you a suggestion to make up your mind, all you need to do is press the body( door, above the front wheel, etc) with your index finger. After you press it, ask yourself, safety or millage. In short, if you want safety go for i20. Regarding the millage, I got 15.7 on an average in city without AC and 14.8 to 15 with AC. Thats not that bad. For the performance part, you will get better acceleration(0-80) with baleno but i20 is not that terrible, you can live with that. 4. Too early to give review on service and maintenance cost yet but I would say basic accessories( like mud flap, body cover, side molding etc) cost is very reasonable compare to after market. You will find some of the price even cheaper from Hyundai. So, I am under the impression of reasonable maintenance cost. And oh, you get 3 free service. 5. Cons: heavier that baleno therefore average fuel consumption is high. Dual Smart key are only provided to Astra(o). Lower varient get only one smart key and one normal key. Competitors provide duel smart keys on all the model except base varient. Pros: (compare to baleno) Shorter waiting period Fog lights installed on all the varient except base. Better buit quality Better suspension Thats all for now
