The advantages of City is that it is a HONDA - Japanese, bullet proof reliability, snob value of Honda - Segment king in petrol sales
Hyundai - cheapo Korean.... if you're buying a petrol Verna, worry about the re-sale of the car. better buy a diesel Verna than a petrol Verna. The Honda City will have a better resale than petrol Verna.
The Honda City base model has ABS with EBD, Driver and Co-Passenger Airbags. Verna Petrol base has none of these safety features.
What do you want, the oomph looks of the car OR your looks in case of an accident (God forbid). Play safe, safety should come first, everything else, later.
Trust me on this, get a Honda, you won't find a better fun to drive, reliable, tried and tested ultra smooth and refined petrol engine elsewhere (in this segment at least).
