Elite i20 is the best car for me. It's very good in comfort, good build quality materials used inside & outside of car but need to compromise with mileage of petrol i20. But one thing sure once you enter inside of car & drive it, you feel premium car like Audi driving experience. Performance wise car takes times to get pick up in 2nd gear, It easily go 60 - 100 km without any extra efforts very smoothly. Need to say if you are looking for premium class with good comfort can go blindly with i20 but mileage wise slightly slow compare to any Maruti vehicles... What else to say further.... As i have Elite i 20 Asta O Petrol 2017 model and driving busy Bangalore city traffic gets around 11 -12 km in city & highway around 14 - 16 km depends driving pattern. You can easily get around 16 km with smooth driving on highway & 12 km in city with full time Ac.Even i gets same till now. Maintenance come around 5- 7 thousands with service interval 10000 km. At the end not the least most depends on your budget & likes ultimately...

Best reliability is associated with Toyota, best build quality, ride, handling and safety is associated with German and Czech cars, performance and efficiency is associated with Maruti, few German cars and Honda. Refinement, features and catchy designs are associated with Korean makes like Hyundai. No single car comes with all goodies as the universal truth is that everything has its own plus and minuses.

Both the transmissions are good at their own place as manual transmission is really very good for off-roading and highway drive on the other hand, automatic is the best for city drive. Here are some points which will help you in choosing the right one: The maintenance cost for automatic transmission car is slightly higher than the manual transmission, Breakdown maintenance cost of manual transmission car due to transmission related failures is lower compared to automatic transmission because of lesser complexity of manual transmission.

Automatic transmission is highly recommended for stop-and-go congested city driving.

Automated manual transmission in Maruti Dzire offers automatic operation without the clutch pedal. It also has the convenience of manual shifting. Manual transmission, on the other hand, requires the use of a clutch and sometimes feels cumbersome in the grinding City traffic but has its own advantages on the Highways and hilly areas. In sum, automatic is without the clutch while the manual requires the clutch.

In my opinion Swift is good... If you can increase your budget by 40-50k you may go for Baleno base model.. coz baleno is more spacious and have bigger storage space.. but swift is more handy and sleek in comparison of Baleno..Both are similar in power.
