When I began my hunt for my first car, I had specific things in my wishlist. These included factors like:
Hatchback
Petrol
Good build
Decent mileage
Something unique
In the end, the choice of buying a Honda Brio which I took has been one of the best choices I have made. I have sincerely no complaints with the car. It rides super-smoothly, has not compromised on quality (unlike the Liva) , gives me roughly 15-16 kmpl in city and 17-18 kmpl on highway. The one time I tried to leisurely drive using their ECO-Light feature, I got 21 kmpl over 50 kms of sparsely crowded highway roads.

I would be more than willing to answer any queries you have.
