I am about to buy a car and had earlier decided on a Honda City ZX Exi model.However, now that I browsed through the features of the Tata Indigo Marina Gsx BS III, Im quite keen on the car as mileage, space, engine power and price are also my prime concerns.

What I need is a general as well as expert opinion on which car should I opt for. Hyundai Verna xi is also an option for me.

 Kindly help me.

Marina GSX (Rs.5.85 lac) is 1.4 ltr engine & gives mileage of 10/12 in city & 14/16 on highway. Verna Xi (Rs.6.75 lac) is 1.6 ltr engine & gives mileage of 10/12 in city & 15/17 on highway. Honda City ZX EXi (Rs.7.15 lac) is 1.5 ltr engine & gives mileage of 11/13 in city & 17/19 on highway.

Marina comes with Leather Seats, CD Player, Alloy Wheels & Rear Wash Wiper while Verna & Honda don't.  Marina & Verna come with Folding Rear Seats, Cup Holders, Front Fog Lights & Defogger (Rear) while Honda doesn't. Verna & Honda come with Tubeless Tyres & Steering Adjustment while Marina doen't.

Amongst the three, Marina offers maximum features at the lowest price - followed by Verna & Honda (in the order).  Mileage-wise, Honda is ahead of Verna & Verna of Marina (slightly). 

But all in all, Honda is known to be a better car than the other two & Verna better than Marina.

I forgot to mention.... 

However, test drive all the 3 cars, and buy the one that suits your budget, preference, usage, likes & dislikes etc.  But, in my opinion, avoid Marina, as it is not known to be as good car as the other two.

This thread is moved (here) to relevant forum "Buying a Car" (from the forum "Roadtests/Reviews/Test-drives").

The honda City si the best choice ever , the Hondas reliabilty and Perfomrance is way ahead when comapred with tatas , so i think if you can go for the Honda city EXI , it should be fine enough
