Hi shiva,

Thanks for the prompt response. I have heard that maintaining a ford vehicle is very expensive than others and also there service is not better and takes lot of time.

On these grounds I would like to ask will hyundai verna 2009 petrol make a sensible choice considering that its a hyundai, so service wont be an issue. I like the Linea too, but it being a FIAT (service and resale) is deterring me away from it. Though the car is too good.

SX4 I am apprehensive as all maruti vehicles develop a rattle after 6 months of use. Is that the case with it?

verna or sx4... mileage for verna crdi is better but if ur use is just 35km a day then a diesel car is not the right choice diesels are good for avg run 60km a day +. sx4 is petrol and lovely car to drive. go for it but also try the verna and decide which u like
