I would anyday see Getz as a better option considering the ease of service, design, safety ratings. The only problem is that it does not have a boot. If having a boot is the consideration, may be verna petrol / baleno is also pretty good!! Not sure if the price range is different though.
I dont like vernas seating position, utterly uncomfortable for me. yes getz is still on my mind and the boot is wow too! quite spacious for a car of its size. if i am buying getz, i can also look at palio 1.6 (space, driveability, 100bhp)

Only European manufacturers offer rock solid body shells aka ... Skoda, Fiat and other high end euro brands.

Cheers ..........
you said it, high end brands like fiat! well i love the aveo, except for the gear part and the knee hitting the dashboard. :(

i would want to see the logan the day after tomorrow since the showroom is quite close to my house. my intuition tells me the refinement levels will be quite low on the logan.
