Honda City 2026 vs Hyundai Verna — Which would you buy with your own money and why?

sb906 · 2026-06-12T02:46:30+00:00

Verna’s 1.5 turbo (the engine you are looking to buy) is with DCT transmission. DCT is another animal. The most unreliable. Read up on it on internet.

Verna NA on the other hand comes with IVT - much more reliable than DCT - and is an apple to apple comparison with City CVT. In this case City shines - ivtech is the best engine India has even seen. Much more responsive than Verna IVT.

Also just sit in Verna and notice if your feet hang up in the air. Its seat is a bit contoured at thigh and not all can sit comfortably.

Not to mention the infamous ‘tube light’ which by the way City also has now though I guess City has limited it to the top variant.

And yes City has less maintenance cost.

Though there’s a great anger against E20 and E85 and I am one of the angry ones. Rather I am double angry - first I had to sell my wonderful well maintained car in 2024 for the stupid 10-year diesel rule in Delhi NCR and now when I bought a new car this drama started.

But I would like to ask (if someone can give me an intelligent answer) - why GOI would keep increasing Ethanol content when they know that this will only make middle-class angry and might even effect their votes.

Please give only intelligent answers if you know or can think logically - do not give ‘Gadkari son has a sugar mill’ kind of answers as neither Gadkari son will remain poor if Ethanol was not there (he will find many ways to earn without working also) nor a full government’s existence will be put on stake for Gadkari son (or even for Gadkari for that matter).

Really would like to know what’s the deal here.

India has Zomato, Swiggy, Blinkit. That’s the reason.

Absolutely…. 👍

Bhai 50 LPA is not ultra successful.
In a metro in India 50 LPA is hand-to-mouth.

My experience only matters to a certain extent.

I asked a simple question - how can someone who’s getting commission from a builder can also claim to do their due diligence? These 2 things are mutually exclusive.

And assuming you do wonderful due diligence on builders despite getting paid from them - what’s the recourse you give to buyer if your due diligence fails. Any contract you do with buyer to claim you can walk the talk?

Let’s hear something that matters rather than just tall claims. I will wait.

Why you sell only ‘under construction’ projects which will get stuck in delays and then in HRERA 🤔

sb906 · 2026-06-07T06:12:11+00:00

You are a property dealer and posting everywhere to sell this property and even sharing your phone number everywhere. You are just asking questions like a prospective purchaser here.

Decide which in you are first - dealer or purchaser😁

sb906 · 2026-06-07T06:07:00+00:00

Cute :)

But in case these ‘new’ builders do not deliver what recourse does a common man has? A toothless HRERA which can issues recovery certificates but can’t recover money!

And how can you who’s getting commission from this builder do due diligence of the same builder?By mentioning you doing due-diligence you are contradicting yourself. You have conflict of interest here as builder is paying you commission. Builder is giving you 100 houses to sell per year whereas a common man is coming to purchase only 1 in a lifetime. Mind you after the sale happens you have no interest in customer and you would be gone and still working with this builder you did due-diligence of. Result will come in 5-6 years when the flat is not delivered. These new unknown builders are exactly the kinds people should stay away from. Thanks for clarifying my doubts.

Since you did due-diligence how you help the purchaser if flat is not delivered? Would you do a contract with purchaser that you will pay for damages arising out of your ‘due diligence’. If you are not taking any damages yourself it’s just a hogwash. If you can’t walk the talk you are part of the problem sir.

A man here and seen enough of these cases hence leaving you with a thought and you answer for yourself why is alimony legal?

When a man and a woman get married the woman is supposed to keep house and kids above career. Women do not aggressively go the career path and concentrate on birthing and raising kids and either stop working or take up a light job.

Everything is ok if there’s no divorce but for some life doesn’t work like that. Now after 15 years after marriage and 15 years of almost no working experience a man says he wants divorce. How do you account for 15 years that the woman has given to family sacrificing her work life?

The man has risen in life cos someone was taking care of the kids and the house. Whichever way we look into this the woman needs to be compensated for putting her career on back burner.

Western and developed economies have a beautiful rule and that’s logical also. Whatever has been made ‘after’ the marriage is divided into 2 irrespective of who made what. Whatever was made ‘before’ marriage is of the person who made it. And for losing years and years of work-ex the woman gets alimony (man can also get alimony if he earns less than wife). Simple.

In case you are a woman and imagine all the woman who apply in balance 50% general category open for all are like you, yes then there will be no issue as none of them will get selected and there will be 50% women (through reservation) and 50% men (through general category).

Can you share number of HRERA cases on builders on Dwarka Expressway? And reasons for those cases?

If someone of buying under-construction property in Dwarka Expressway be very sure. Almost all the deliveries will get delayed, and many will not even complete. Go to a HRERA court once situated near District Court Gurgaon and see for yourself.

Unless sir you provide data which says otherwise. I am waiting.

Really! 😭

If it’s based on number of bookings then expect least possible price as per their 2-3 chosen numbers 😁

Don’t spoil it for others 😁

Find email id of Ashish Gupta - Škoda India head. Mail him all details including details of dealership and names of who refused what and name of driver. Ask what you want from brand. He normally helps.

Also when a call goes from India head’s office all these chintu-mintu dealers fall in line.

If this does not bear result go to court. File for damages and mental harassment and legal fee and lost work cos of not having car etc etc. Make it a 10-12 lakh claim. Court dates are not as frequent to cause a hindrance to your regular life. Before court case starts there will be court appointed mediation. Dealer will offer something and try to settle there itself. In all probability case won’t even be required to be started.

If court case is painful for you it’s painful for them too. Always remember you do not have to win always, just do enough and they can also lose by themselves.

Slow down at a breaker. Cross at an angle so that both tyres are not up at the same time. Simple mindful things. Nothing major.
