Hi..
Been struggling to make up my mind on which car to buy...
Had more or less thought of the Swift.. but now am reconsidering and want better value for money.

My important requirements are :
Mostly drive in Mumbai with average running of 1200 kms per month.
- I am 6'3" tall.. hence need some space
- Occassional short travel with 5 adults... but mostly self driven alone.
- Currently drive an esteem which is LPG fitted
- Not wanting a drivers car.. am happy with compromise of performance.. but want low maintenance and low cost of ownership.
- Plan to have the car for 5 to 7 years.. if not longer...

Considered the following because :
Logan
not too excited by looks, but at the price.. its got lots of space. Gives me the option to convert to LPG in a couple of years.. being low cost,.. the spares will be reasonable... Also.. since have been used to driving an esteem.. think will be more suitable.
Low on looks and feel good factor.

Swift...
as its new.. like the looks.. am sure will hold its value over the years... spares would be no issue..High on feel good factor on owning.

i10..
as its the newest car.. concerns are in terms of space.. is it comparable to interior space of the swift... am ok with a minor compromise if the driver seat is comfortable and comparable.. (did not like the wagon r / estillo driving positions.. and wanted something higher than the santro)..
Like the interiors of the i10... but am concerned if the space is equal to swift... Also.. this is lower cost than the other two.. so am able to save some money...

Please advice based on your experiences... knowledge..

Thanks.
