Welcome niv26.
Considering what you drive in the US, you will find most stuff for your budget to be extremely slow
Anyways for your budget I have listed the models available with approx ex showroom prices(Add 50-90K for on road price)
As for your options the Honda City Zx Vtec is around 8+, for 7-7.5 you should get 77bhp city
Ford fiesta 100bhp(1.6ltr) is 6.8
Maruti Baleno(This forums enthusiast fav) is 6L
Chevy Optra (1.6/1.8) goes from 7-10L (Its the fav for those who want luxury)
The dark horse, Hyundai elantra is around 8L(After discounts) and most powerful of the lot(127bhp) with lots of goodies. But thanks to its ugly looks and hyundai image of a C segment player, this does not sell much, even though most auto magazines have given it the VFM award

As for reputations of manufacturers, things are a lot different in India. So you may want to broaden your scope
