Dear All,
I have to buy a car next week. I have short listed City1.3 Manual Transmission and City Aspire 1.5 Manual transmission. I have even compared the two cars but I want feedbacks from owners

I am not sure about engine shield in both the variants.
I have to have the navigation system installed which means that I will have to bear additional Rs. 120,000 for aspire 1.5 as navigation system is included in aspire's price.
My main concern is fuel efficiency as I will always be driving within the city and my car ususally runs 1200-1300kms monthly. Tell me if there are any further differences that I have missed. I know that honda city's mileage improves with passage of time so I expect that first 5,000kms will be really heavy on my pocket. Btw I used to own 2005 civic vti oriel prosmatec but unfortunately it got totalled due to my driver's stupidity. Please guide me does aspire 1.5 worth paying 120,000 more.
People please guide me with your valuable advices.
PS: Since I will be buying the car through leasing so Rs. 120,000 does not matter much but fuel economy does.
