Good car in cost range upto 8 lac but poor mileage

 

I owned verna 1.6 xi (2007) and done 32,000 km. Car has good comfort and driving pleasure, most of my running is mumbai-goa highway and mumbai-pune highway, I feel safe in this car because of its heavy and rigid body as compare to honda city Gxi (owned by my uncle) which is lighter than verna and this is reason why verna gives less mileage and lack of pickup at initial start, also I found that the headlights and foglights are not up to mark, they have less focus on road. but apart from demerits the car has good A/C cooling, good suspension, good music system, comfortable drive with all feature like power steering, power windows, automatic adjustable mirror ,defogger  what else one can  have in 7.75 lacs when one is updating his car from small segment to sedan.

Before buying verna , I had test drive of Maruti sx4 and Ford fiesta ..regarding Maruti Sx4 i found stiff suspension no smoothness at all and cheap interior.. and regarding ford fiesta  i found congested and noisy engine less driving comforts as in verna so i rejected both and made my decision for verna later on i release it gives less mileage as told by company..

I dont know about latest version of verna if fuel economy is increase and other issues are solved than one can go for it.
