Best Sedan for First-Time Car Buyer in India?

Which sedan should I suggest to my friend for their first car?

My friend's finally buying their first car and wants a sedan. Budget is around ₹12-15 lakh. They need something reliable for daily office commute in Bangalore, good service network, and decent features. I'm torn between these four options. City seems premium, Dzire offers value, Verna is loaded, and Slavia feels upmarket. What would you recommend?

Thinking about sedans that make you feel you've arrived - which one has that premium appeal? The City's been the aspiration king forever, Verna's loaded now, while Slavia and Virtus bring European vibes at competitive prices. Want to know what people actually aspire to own these days. All are around ₹15-18 lakh on-road, but which one would make you proudest in your driveway?

Trying to figure out which sedan actually looks good from the side. The City has that clean classic look, Verna's got those character lines, while Slavia and Virtus feel more European with their proportions. Design matters to me and I want something that stands out without being too flashy. What's your pick?

Been test driving sedans lately and honestly surprised by how upmarket these new models feel compared to older versions. The Verna's got that tech-heavy cabin, City still has that Honda refinement, while Virtus and Slavia bring proper European build quality. Curious what others think - which one genuinely feels a segment above when you're inside?
