Estilo will be better on FE than i10 and ABS will not have bearing on FE.
i10 is better in terms of fit and finish, give you upmarket feel and better stability at 100+ and confidence inspiring handling
Estilo: Carry same engine which is fitted in Wagon R and performance is not at par with i10, 100+ stability and drive dynamics is not so great.
Service Cost: Hyundai is costly to maintain when compared with maruti and same hold true with Estilo and i10.
Word of caution: Don't compromise on safety on two counts
1. Safety features
2. Driving 100+ either of these is not safe in most cases on our highway conditions.

Hi Trex -FE is Fuel efficiency.
I have driven only 6000Km that too within short times including highways.So my mileage is not good because of my driving habits and the roads I used.Gear shift is nice in i10.
If your budget is OK,try to go for i10 sprtz option.i10 interiors are better than Estilo.i10 seems to be getting good response in other countries also.

thank you very much arun quick reply, do you have any idea on Estilo ABS mileage on Highway and city with A/C on?
Could please explain your " FE is also ok and issues reported for this where as there are reports of erratic FE for the i10 (1.2)." statement, what is FE?

considering ABS and the more or less similar ASC network, I suggest you go for the estilo with ABS. Performance may not be like the i10 but it will run well at 120kms too. The K-series engine is also quite refined and durable. FE is also ok and issues reported for this where as there are reports of erratic FE for the i10 (1.2).
if it costs less or equal to the i10, then go for it. Fitting ABS to the i10 would not be a good idea since it is not available from the manufacturer ( i think) and retro - fitting ABS I dont think any one is that good for this job.
Go with the Estilo with ABS but dont drive too fast anyway. all the best.

Thanks Ravi for your blazing fast reply !!, considering saftey i think Estilio vxi ABS has upper hand since it has airbags for driver and ABS,
Could you please let me know your views on Estilio, how much mileage it gives on highway and city with A/C on?
I will check that i10 magna 1.2 can be fitted with ABS and airbags or not.

I own Hyundai I10 Sportz.I feel that you should give more consideration to safety as you would drive on highway also.i10 is no doubt an excellent car but just check whether you can get air bags and ABS.i10 mileage is also low ( 10 to 14 kmpl).Looks wise and performace wise i10 is good and backseat journey seems good but not extraordinary (compared with some high end cars- so not much applicable) as per my family.

Hi friends, really appriciate your efforts and time u put in replying posts,
I need your help in deciding between following two cars
1) Zen Estilo VXI with ABS
2) Hyundai i10 Magna 1.2
Following are my driving details
Highway 250 KM Per month
City 250 KM per Month
Total 500 KM P/M
Zen Estilo VXI ABS
positives -> ABS and no hump at floor of rear seats making it little more comfortable
Negatives -> 998 cc engine and kerb wt 865 kg
Hyundai i10 Magna 1.2
Positives -> 1198 cc Kappa engine, better build quality, kerb weight 860 KG
Negatives -> No ABS, and hump at floor rear seat.
Both are costing almost same i10 is only 20k more,
hence i am not able to decide which one to go for, could you please advice me on the same
How much ABS in estilio will benefit?, which one has better mileage?
