Buy Honda City or Toyota Etios - Which one better?

I am planning to replace my 6 year Alto with a new Sedan and I think Toyota Etios and Honda City are the good choices for me. Please suggest me which car I should buy. Since it will be my second car, I want to make sure that its a good car and I am going to keep it for another 3-4 years without any regret.

please advice.

Hi Vikas,

Congratulation for your new car you will buy soon !

Regarding choice between Etios and City. First of all both are not in same segment, however both car very nice. Where Etios is a budget Sedan, Honda City is a class ahead. If you can increase budget then go for Honda City. It is reliable, proven luxury which will you may not feel in Etios but, overall Etios is a nice package in the price in which it is being offered.
