Search for a car

Researching these days about cars. I'm planning to buy a car for myself and have a few options .... don't know which one will be the best.I like the Chevrolet Spark , the red color one for the sheer fact that it's so sparky n' girly.But I have been advised that Chevrolet although is promising a 3 year free servicing their service is actually not up to the mark plus their spare parts are very expensive. A friend of mine driving Beat warns me about its cons.Although in the looks department I like the small Spark as well as the high end Spark. then , there is Ford Figo... hatchback , Hyundai i10,Fiat Punto, Swift... Problem of mileage is persistent with all of them . I'm looking for a car which is fuel efficient so that I do not have to think twice before going anywhere.I shouldn't look at my petrol meter if I have to goto Noida or even to the local market.In Gurgaon even the markets are 4-5 kms away from your residence.That pushes me to look at the CNG cars as well. Maruti Alto... ummm...well...good .very fuel efficient claims around 27km/kg on CNG..but... its such an old fashioned car...Another option is buying a petrol car n get CNG retro-fitted. The problem is that on a new car, retro fitting is done by dealers and as soon as that is done the car's warranty is null and void :( The CNG delaer however gives a warranty but only for his equipment which is a not so good proposition...The search is on... looking for a smart, cute hatchback... :)
