I have recently booked the Slavia 1.0 Sportline, but I am open to exploring other options in the budget range of ₹12 to ₹14 lakhs (on-road). My monthly usage is very minimal, around 200 KMs, so I am primarily looking for a car that is reasonable, cost-effective, and offers a good ownership experience.
I would love to hear your thoughts on the Slavia—whether it's a good choice for someone with such low running or if there are better alternatives in this price range.
Some key factors I am considering:
1. Low maintenance cost
2. Comfort and features
3. Resale value in the long term
4. Petrol option (since diesel may not be suitable for my usage)
If you have any recommendations or feedback about the Slavia or other cars in this segment, please let me know!

hmm how about honda city?
just thinking
I won't suggest you the Compact SUVs or the Sedans since your usage is very minimal. Also, since it doesn't seem like you have any special requirements, I would suggest you lower your budget and get a Baleno or a Fronx. Now I understand that their cars are criticized for poor build quality and poor interiors, but everything else just works - lower running cost, smooth engine and transmissions, comfortable ride, good resale value and so on.
And if you want to be pampered, get a Hyundai - maybe i20 or a Venue, and a Kia if you want to be pampered even more. Hyundai has better build and features, smooth engines, but just slightly higher maintenance cost. But since your running would be low, I don't think that the maintenance cost between a Maruti and a Hyundai would be of much significance.
If you are worried about resale stick to Maruti, hyundai. If you want lower maintenance stick to Maruti.
German cars are high in maintenance. Comes to almost 15k for every 15k kms. Vw skoda service every 20k kms recommended. Other brands every 10k kms
If u use less than 1k kms per month better buy some other brand
