Hi, I ended up buying Verna.
Between elite i20 and swift dzire, I'd go for Elite i20.
1. Service costs are similar.
2. Mileage is pretty close to dzire
3. Contemporary looks
4. Much more comfortable and spacious.

So I should come for Chennai for the treat or will you come over to Hyderabad for giving the treat?

Excellent choice going to verna. I took a test drive for both. I feel more premium seating for elite i20. So I'm leaning towards Hyundai.
What do you think about diesel vs petrol service cost?
I heard if petrol needs servicing every 10000km diesel needs every 5000km , is that right.

Bhai I will come to Hyderabad, mereko daawat dho
Diesel engines are pretty refined now. The costs dinosaur is not real anymore.
However, diesel cars are costly by about 1 lac. So you will need few years to break even. Personally, I like diesel cars.
Test drive both variants. Due to high torque at low end in diesel engines, you wont have to throttle at all in lower gears. A luxury for bumper to bumper traffic. After sale value will be more if you intend to sell later.
PS: You can call the dealership and ask them for test ride.

I guess it happens with diesel engine, I have 2000 model santro which starts even after 20 days of idle.

I guess you are talking about the diesel version. During my intial days with my wagon R I used to keep it idle for a month without using.

Not sure diesel or petrol but one of my friend had Toyota and Dezire he said Dezire had better engine and Toyota had this problem of start.
3 services are free. First at 1500Kms I think, second at 5000Kms, third at 12000Kms. Had first two services, no major issues except for clutch plate change (got weird wear-out on one side but the other was alright, some issue with alignment during assembly, clutch is not covered under warranty but they replaced for free as the issue was due to master slave cylinder). Clutch assembly costs 14k. for verna.
No idea about paid service after that. Do regular checks of vehicle and it will cut down on cost due to negligence. Spare parts cost increased with each higher segment vehicle.
only 2. 3rd will be after 12k kilometers.

I prefer Diesel as it will give u Max savings in long run
but if u prefer to install CNG on a petrol variant then also it is good
