Which one to buy depending on maintenance cost Maruti ignis delta or Hyundai grand i10 magna.
The review is very good and accurate. But I see no European cars, particularly Volkswagen in the list as it holds good value in developed countries. Perhaps there are more satisfied owners of European cars who do not want to sell their cars.
