For the beat, first three years you will get a cashless service. In case of most problems, they will turn up within this time and also, your paid service cost is waived. Compared to the i10, you do have warranty, but paid service is paid itself :P Coming to the downside of the i10, hyundai after sales is comparable to a fleecing ceremony. Moreover, parts are delicate and tend to fail after around 50k kms. These include drive shafts, and other crucial parts. If you go the genuine way, you will end up replacing an axle for a faulty axle boot and so on. Such things make the car expensive to maintain after a good amount of miles on the ODO.
Once the beat crosses its three year term, an average person will sell his car in around 5 years here so, the car will be sold in that time. So your responsibility of maintaining the car out of your pocket will be for a period of three years max compared to six years of another car without such a cashless policy, as you wil have to pay for consumables and parts even if it is a free service.
Again, direct comparision can be made only by taking examples of two similliarly maintained cars(I can wreck a beat in months and keep an i10 like a gem). So roughly it is so.
Where there is a wheel, there is a way!
