Okay buddy,look at it this way:-
Hyundai Verna:You want looks(only front and side profile,the rear looks awkward to me),bigger alloys,all 4 discs(they are also useless because they does not perform upto the expectations),a lot of features(half of them useless),a fantastic city car with a low speed ride like a cushion of air(and the high speed ride like the hell),a good and comfortable looking cabin and decent quality plastic(with the least comfortable seats,especially the rear ones),a lot of power(only on paper,in real world it does not perform up to the expectations or say,power delivery is not good).
Honda City 'V':First of all the i-vtec is a fantastic engine which revs quite high but then is rev happy,so no issue at all.Its always a treat to drive this car.
But then the City has got an engine which is very weak at lower end and is quite painful in stop-go traffic.Every time you need to rev this engine else the car will bog down.The driving position is best and seats are most comfy as well as the best ergonomics are there.
Only problem is that this car lacks features and puny tires are given,rest ride and handling is great but even after rising up the ground clearance is till an issue for our road-grown mountains(I think we people call them speed breakers).Rest everything is good and with the added advantage of decent FE(this car can give upto 20 kpl on highways if driven clamly about 80-90-100 kph).
Fiat Linea T-Jet:This is a pure driver's delight,this car has got best dynamics,best steering and body control and simply the best ride and handling with the added advantage of comfortable seats,best build and a lot of features,it has got 4 wheel discs too but unlike Verna,then 4 wheel discs show their advantage in Linea.
The turbocharged motor has loads of torque and the best part is the mid range straight from 1800rpm to 4500 rpm you get insane power and hence city driveability is simply outstanding while the dynamics allow you to cruise at 150+ speeds on highways too with full confidence unlike Verna which is scary over 130 kph.
The FE this car can offer is best in city amongst all three while on highway this car offers about 18 kpl if driven sedately.
Only issues with this car are:-Rear seat is not good for tall passengers as it has limited headroom,some interior fit and finish is not upto the City or Verna levels,resale value and Tata a.s.s. are nowhere as good as Honda or Hyundai but since you are a long term owner so these factors must not disturb you.And at the price mentioned by you,THIS IS A DEFINITE BUY.
See buddy in your list there you can have the best driver's cars,then why to look at the Verna thing,you TD the cars and I am sure you will reject Verna within 3 kms of TD.In my views:-
Linea T-Jet: 8
Honda City: 8
Hyundai verna: 6 points out of 10.
