Q. What are the things needs to be verified while buying a new i20, Like engine, gear change,tyre brand etc? How much service, maintenance, spare parts cost compared to maruti swift 2018 model?

Elite i20 is a good car, very good comfort level, good build quality materials used inside & outside of car but need to compromise with mileage of petrol i20. One thing is sure once you enter inside ofcar& 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 12 -13 km in city & highway around 17 - 18 km depends on driving pattern. You can easily get around 17 km with smooth driving on highway & 12 km in city with full time Ac. Even i gets same till now. Maintenance come around 4- 5 thousands with service interval around 10000 km..

I'm running my i20 asta diesel since 2013 september. I didn't have much issues with these things ever. Maintainance cost also not that unbearable. Adequate mileage, I can say a long lasting vehicle.
