You may not like the looks of the Honda City, but it's a new age, contemporary design and is built around international passive safety norms.  It is smooth, comfortable and easy to drive too. And of course, it's remarkably fuel efficient for a car in its category. However, if you still feel that its appearance doesn't go down well with you, try the Accent Viva CRDi instead, which will give you all the benefits of the Accent CRDi at a cheaper price point. Looks sporty too!  Close call  I want to buy a new car, and am a bit confused. I want a car with looks, performance and good after-sales service. The cars which come to my mind are the Wagon R LXi and Santro Xing XP. The Santro has the looks, while the Wagon R has a good market image. I drive about 30 to 40 km a day. Which is the better car to buy?

 The choice, as you say, is difficult indeed. Both are equally good and both come with a good after-sales service reputation. Fuel economy is similar, though the Santro proves to be easier to drive in town
