i ll not go for polo everything is awsm ..but they used a 1200cc 3 cylinder engine …..so iff u can w8 go for swift zdi..

only the company name is maruti suzuki … the whole technology of engine COMES from FIAT…..

nothing beats d swift when it comes to performance. Its a drivers delight car. Its frugal &pocket friendly too. So swift rockzz anytime, anyday.

ppls were nt got fooled from maruti . . . Even they were talking about i 20. .lets compare i20 with punto 90hp . . . Bro u asked about swift or polo. . . Evry 1s 1st choice is swift than i20. . Than u cn think about punto nd vista . . Vw ll be prefred if they use a 4 cyl engine instead of 3 cyl. .

Polo Highline the concept which will take MAruti to come up in ages to ages. Superb class German Technology, Great ABS, Absoloutely Smooth Steering, Sports Luks, Great Mileage And Its Acceleator is different from all Indian Cars..Just watch – Polo Highline!!!

Accletaor diffrent means? it is hard to drive or smooth to drive?

Mr.pradeep I guess polo is d undisputed winner btwn both. I own one trust me. low maintenance. high quality n all d above the vw tag. and yeha u cn also go for hyundai i20 d king f its its class…

I say try the i20 too since you are considering a premium hatch……VW is nothing to write home about (barring the build quality which is far superior to marutis’)…it is a good brand and that is it! Dealer network is still small and finding a qualified mechanic in case of a breakdown is difficult…I personally am not a fan of the Swift…but…[Read more]

agreed with shivansh…try it..u will forget polo and swift….it’s a fact….

Helo pradeep I would like to tell you out that the swift zdi is the best option for you. Because of the swift is the best hachbacj than others cars. Swift is the fully loaded car at a cheap cost with amezing features the ground cleareance of this car is higher than other cars because in india there is a need of higher ground clearence to the car.…[Read more]

I think pradeep should buy swift.

Are you sure that polo has low maintenance?And how many kms have you run?im planning to buy one.

Aalok Raj yes dude. your maintenance service comes every 15000km and as its a high quality car u dnt require 2 mantain it so ofter atlest not below 60000km.

Shrikant Verma Thanks.How many kms have you run?

Shrikant Verma Also many are complaining that it has a big turbo lag.True?

I don’t think shelling 8 lakhs (at least in Bangalore) for a Maruti hatch is worth it. As most of the people suggested pls take a look at I20 Asta CRDI. If you are looking for Polo and 3 cylinders are fine, please take a look at Fabia TDI which has the same engine. I was blown away when I took the test drive and their mid and high variants are…[Read more]

Well Mr.pradeep I would like to suggest you.

1) Hyundai I 20.
2) Fiat Punto.
3) Ford Figo.
4) Gm beat.
5) Vw Polo and.
6) Swift.

as swift is a very comman car but sumthing different which is not common.also swift has a long waiting period.swift is not at all a spacios car.only the advantages you will get in swift is A.S.S is good, resale value…[Read more]

just wait for i20 with fluidic facelift,,, oh he cant wait,,,, go for i20 or can try micra.

Go for swift only polo engine sounds like mini tractor. I know polo is a good car good engg very soft stearing. But swift is more comfortable than polo polo is very tight in the rear seat spares r too costly of polo .milage is less than swift. So i suggest u swift or ford figo if u like the ford brand figo is more comfortable than swift

yes turbo below 2000rpm is laging.. bt aftr it cross 2000 the torbo kicks in and u shoot up gr8..

SWIFT CAN BE EASILY MANOURVED AT 20 KMPH IN THIRD GEAR BUT POLO JERKS U HAV TO GO FOR 2ND GEAR THE FACT TORQUE CURVE IS FLAT IN SWIFT AGAINST ANY COMPETETORS DIESEL VARIANTS.

definately SWIFT rockzz..nytime.

w8 fr mini cooper do savings . . Collect 18.36 lacs plus . . . Or go for swift . . Polo is 3 cyl. . . Hatch. Vista a big handling nd front visor problen. . Micra is also gud. . .

swift any day….

swift diesel..:))

try out Skoda fabia & Volkswagen Polo too.

yar but both r out of his budget…..

Badal Jain , dude. for a few grands more, i don’t think he would mind going for German Engineering.

nissan micra….superb

Siddhartha Saksena ya i agree wid u…vw is a gr8 brand..but looking for his needs of low maintainance n service costs i think he shld go for swift..wat do u say….

Swift / Ritz Diesel.

Looks like people now a days are looking not only for diesels but “diet diesels”! Well would just like to share my experience about the above mentioned cars.
Swift: Sub standard quality in terms of built as compared to the competition. Not really a pleasure to drive in the local Mumbai bumper to bumper traffic as the turbo only spools after the…[Read more]

plzzzzzzzz don’t go for swift…. the build of dis car is worst….
really belive me….
why don’t u try ford figo or chevy Beat or u can go for micra but please avoid suzuki brand……

Swift is no VFM???? 12,000 swifts out every month dude compared to a paltry 1200 nissan micra’s……

micra…the best in pick up and the lightest handling….

MICRA period!

Consider VISTA VX also. Its 5.50 Lacs.

I think u sld try sumthing different ok so skip the idea foe going for Swift as it is a very- comman car, waiting period is also very long.uncomfortable car with small boot space……better go for Nisssna Micra or u hv another option like Fiat Punto, Hyundai I 20, VW Polo, Ford Figo, Gm Beat.theses cars r superb hatchback cars with good mileage,…[Read more]

My friend I think that the Ritz VDI is the best option for you because of the Ritz is very comfortable and value for money than other this two car.

Arun Balakrishnan Just because a car sells like hot cakes doesn’t mean that its a VFM proposition! All of us know very well the kind of built quality that swift offers! And You are certainly mistaken if you say that swift is a VFM! For 6.2L on road vdi you don’t even get a music system set aside stuff like alloys, ABS/EBD and airbags! C’mon! we…[Read more]

Madhupam Bansal u r a clever person..meddling around with facts….I never said figo is not a VFM…FIGO is a VFM .. that is why it is selling consstenly around 7000 vehicles per month…and note one more thing… u have selected ( i dont know which version of swift and figo u compared) and simply brought out an extra feature of figo which is a…[Read more]

Ford Figo…..

Arun Balakrishnan: Sadly, looks like you’ve fallen a prey to what’s written on papers!
Micra is a differnt league! Character: Swift:Sporty::Micra:Subtle.
But look at the parameters..we’re looking at city driving conditions that too in a place like Mumbai (Read Congested traffic and overtly broken roads)! Where do you think you can put that extra…[Read more]

Madhupam Bansal Dude u r again moving away from the topic… i never said about the mileage of micra… Read properly and comment or u dont know even to read? I talked abt the ARAI mileage of figo and not abt micra….
Point no:2 -> Ford Figo Titanium offers alloy wheels as aan extra fitting…u hav to shell out xtra money….u wont get it at…[Read more]

always nissan micra

as far as maintenance is concerned polo costs a bit high as compared to swift, bt polo is a brand to drive, d reason being that swift is soo common these days, while polo still makes u feel proud to drive….. bt if u want to compare only micra n swift, den go 4 swift……

…[Read more]

BOTH OR JAPS BUT MICRAS TURNING RADIUS IS VERY GOOD WHEN COMPARED TO SWIFT EVEN GOOD PERFOR MANCE BUT WHEN IT COMES TO LOOK SWIFT TOPS AND SOUND OF MICRAS ENGIN IS SLIGHTLY NOISY THAN SWIFT IN SOME 15-20 DECIBELS SO BABY SWIFT ROCKS.

I BOUGHT A ALTIS DIESEL, good choice, The more the hike, the bigger my smile, and My Neighbour bought an Altis V Petrol with Auto (It does not seem to move out of the compound much now) and was replaced by OPTRA Diesel.

Pity us

Hi Dws Auto, I don’t think VW Jetta and Passat has petrol models….

now its time add diesel car in garage.

@arun old jetta and passat had petrol models…..

In punjab, price of petrol is Rs.74.

pls drop the question . . . The person with a sedan dsnt cr about fuel price hike. . . . .

I think people who maintain sedan/suv cars in india they never think about the prize hike.

why dnt people think abt CNG. MUCH CHEAPER THN PETROL AND DIESEL.

@Bharat and Rohit

CNG’s safety is low plus gs powered engine life is not too lon,
in the end of day petrol, diesel, CNG all have stand equal,
maintaing diesel car is not too easy plus it only have high torque at low rpm
not high power

soon india will redefine automobile technology by introducing Bio h20 Fuell cell powered Automobiles

diesel cars are good choice even if diesel price is rising.

I HAVE HONDA CITY ITS AVG JUST 13.5 KM, HOW CUM ITS 17 KM/LITRE? STILL M NT BOTHER ABOUT AVG AS I M DRIVING WORLDS BEST PETROL ENGINE TECHNOLOGY AND I BEAT LL DIESEL SEDANS AND PREMIUMS IN RACE OVER HIGHWAYS..:)

Service network, Availability of spare parts, 24/7 Road side assistance are a few things customers consider to have peace of mind. Once fiat is able to cope up with all these, fiat will improve in sales. Afterall the engine(1.3 Multijet Diesel) used in most cars are manufactured by FIAT. So improving on all these aspects will gain customer attraction.

Thank God….long overdue.

good news

Finally! :’)
Fiat Cafe sounds so cool! At last the 500 will get its space!
Bring in the Freemont, Sedici & the new Panda in India Fiat! Fate of Fiat will sure turn around! )

This was long over due.

I think you people have started going in right direction, Because TATA cannot give good service becasue of more no of their own vehicle on road.Simply they can sell more because of their dealer network.

Better Late than never…They should encompass at least 2 cities of Asom.

Sivsagar tu tumi pala neki??

Mur hatot dhan nai…hatot nai dhan ti bor hobaloi monti..Tumaluke pariba…

Now that’s a great news for the almost extinct Linea…. Good move by Fiat…

No it wont… India has much more important 20 cities…

ITS REALY GOOD DECISION FIAT HAS TAKEN…..IF FIAT HAVE DONE IT EARLIER I THINK PUNTO AND LINEA WLD HAVE BEEN THE BEST SELLERS…….WELL ITS A GOOD NEWS TO ALL FIAT CAR LOVERS THAT FIAT IS GOING TO OPEN SEPARATE SHOWROOMS AND WORKSHOPS…..I THINK NOW IF FIAT PROVIDES A BETTER A.S.S. WITH 27*7 SERIVCES AND PARTS SLD BE AVAILABLE ANYTIME AT…[Read more]

Its a great news, finally Fiat executives in Italy have come to terms with the T&C of customers in India. The ride quality of a Fiat was always good and is VFM with its 90HP Diesel which gives good mileage too.

Fiat ‘s is they r very less required for Servicing …n infact these r to meet the Indian market …

maybe ! I love them.The large turning radius doesn’ suit for our crowded city conditions.If they solve this problem, i’ll buy the Punto Emotion 90 BHP Diesel !

Now i think they’ll rise in numbers and i wish now tatas properly concentrate on selling their own cars…

Okay a good move from Fiat,Now the punto would see some higher sales charts only because of the the service centers

@[1127619748:2048:Ankur Baruah] No change huwa nai…Bill diboloi paisa nai…

Arun Balakrishnan Each n every town n city has its own importance irrespective of its size n populace..definitely mere 20 wont suffice

Get the Bravo after this…it will be a game changer.

Nice and wise decision………it will help in building a better image of the brand.

thank u fiat for d lovely gift to all your product admirers.
finally people can start thinking about buying FIATs.

great

why fiat is still ignorant of the fact that the major reason of their failure with Linea is its under powered engine? … wake up fiat! you will not do any more wonders here with this weak engine for a car like linea. Understand that the power is where we talk about a deal most of the time after mileage. Remove the label – underpowered.

ooohhh its too late.

We have sales data showing people not showing much interest in FIAT…Finally Fiat taking big step though its late but we can’t forget about Fiat engine performance, its good. They should also launch some more models in India to get some more market share…
But I will still not go for Fiat Punto or Linea, would rather go for Swift or Honda City.

Ellathinum oru samayamaundu Suvine….

And the Freemont, Panda & Sedici!

hehe.. As soon as I heard this news.. I am again exited about the Linea.. and am re-working my finances to own it.. It’s a superrr-awesome carr..

ayyeo!!!! kissi toh car ko finally final kar!!! LOLz…

Bttetter late then never. PLZ do before we forget u.

noways

Finally Fiat realised.

amazing

its worth the wait…or if sum1 elz is in a real hurry and wants to miss out on a gr8 car can go for i20 or vw polo….

I20 or Polo will be a good choice

If not Figo or Indica Vista.

9 months is too much….

ya but friends dont go for figo……..

Dinesh had any bitter experience?

yaa ma worst experience with figo…..i had both swift and figo …..how did u feel if ur cars chamber got blocked on second day….and it sounds like three wheeler

Oh thats really bad,Did you get that thing set right by the service ppl?

swift is not the most selling in the world…. I20 and Punto stand alone sells more globally……Polo is world car of year 2010……. Maintaience Cost depends on cost… U canoot compare 800 n swift… same with sift n i20 or swift or polo…. but that doesnot mean swift is cheap.. it is an good car…but not like some god made creation…..

vista

swift

super like.. dude m with you.. VISTA rocks..

Thanks yaar

figo

If u love driving its the – Ford Figo Titanium.

Looking for quality- Toyota Liva GD (SF).

good service and cheap spares – Tata Vista ZX.

Liva D (Sf).

go for figo best in this segmentbest in handeling.

swift rocks and ford figo sucks.

sorry I didn’t mention vista and etios liva, vista and liva also sucks.

those who drive toyota, knows what does it mean because toyota cars always raises the bar…………

I think ford figo is the good option.

nothing can beat SWIFT.

liva D (SP) – SP for safety package

go for i20 guyz it is realy a great car…….

no doubt….its vista….

Punto is a far better choice than FIGO…

new vista is the only competition to swift, it has great interiors, same fiat engine, good service network, smart shape, less waiting period, ride and handling is equal to swift, just test ride it.

good service and cheap spares – Tata Vista ZX.

good service and cheap spares – Tata Vista ZX same engine from swift diesel.

to create artificial market to swift.

why I 20 diesel , Fiat Punto Diesel , Nissan Micra diesel has not been compared I think these cars come in same range and category.

swift

which one is better car in diesel.. Toyota Liva diesel or swift diesel.

Swift is Shit.

only vista… mazing price sedan class is simply superb.. interiors. a classs.

can u tell me the average punto diesel gives if poss

I hav a 2007 wagon r can anyone tell me a gud option in diesel hatchback with a gud average and value for money thnks in advance.

I prefer the Maruti Suzuki Swift !!!!!!!!!!

bro u should go fr new swift or i 20. . . .

hyundai i20 ticks d right boxes..

I think Honda Jazz wud b a gud proposition with it’s current availability at a reduced Price and fulfilling all the requirements of good looks, spaciousness & luxury…plus Honda’s reliability & refinement!!

I THINK BEAT DIESEL N SWIFT R GUD CHOICE …..BEAT IS THE BEST BECOZ COMPANY GIVES THREE YRS WARRANTY WH INCLUDES SPARE PARTS TOO….

i’ve already said Swift.But Vista is Good at space and comfort. Ford Figo is good too with excellent balanc between ride and handling.And yes i20 has all you want but is pricey !Beat doesn’ suit you requirement !

Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Diesel Variants:

Trendline.

Comfortline.

Highline.

Indica Vista for space, Maruti Swift for handling and fuel efficiency, Ford Figo for all-round competency and Volkswagen Polo for looks.

honda jazz!

go for new maruti suzuki swift deisel.

I think prashik should go wid i20 diesel…..loaded ful of features, lots of space inside..it has got gud average….
swift is also gud option..bt waitin period spoils it….polo is bad on maintenance…..

Honda Jazz for sure, if he wants a petrol hatchback… or swift/ritz zdi if he wants a diesel hatch.

according to your budget,, my choices for you will be on the top i20..just go and opt for this car wihtout any hindrance coz that car is one the best in every aspect you r lookin for…if not a hyundai fan, then go for swift or polo..

Chevrolet Beat Diesel rocks!

I think its swift suitable for u in hatchbak.

go for ritz diesel………..

go for swift diesel.

That’s a tricky one…BEST HATCH…does not exist….Depends on which city he’s from and how’s the service of various brands in that city (exception Maruti)….If he wants a htch NOW….then buy the VISTA…..It is by far the best vfm car out there right now…better than Swift…YES I said it. While the swift is a better looker, better handler…[Read more]

Before u select any car please Check the plastics used inside that car…It has to be value for money that u r paying….I took a Test Drive for Ritz LDI today….Avg Exp. Checked out Swift 2011 still gives you a crunchy feel on the rear seats…Its plastic sucks…just compare it with polo 1.2 Di. variants…It is any day better than Figo.…[Read more]

go for I 20 petrol or diesel model a real value for money car with better ASS compare to swift its a spacios car and offcourse a good lookig car I suggets u I 20.

Polo has razor blade handling, the best in the segment n feels like a large car… Not only looks…

I10 is also gud but it may hav a little space but gud in performance and features.

Why a Hatch for your Budget, when you can go for the Verito- excellent on highways- a diesel with Broad front seats and comfortable….a 600km journey in Venezuela for about 5 hours felt as fresh as we started in with loads of luggage and 4+1…makes most sense to buy 1. The top model has just 1 airbag and no faltoo gimmicks.

go 4 i20. its awsum

helo shivash..m frm mumbai..n more will drive car in city only which obviously u knw traffic n all..i 20 iz on my mind..so should i go for it ..?? i want car wid low maintenance .spacious ,comfortable driving n yes good mileage diesel around 18 to 20 in city..

Just realised …u have mentioned your requirements…well…hmm 6-7 lakhs is an excellent budget…You can go for the top end ZDi it comes loaded now with all goodies….a bit pricey though…The ZDi ex showroom is comparable to the I20 sportz CRDI (carwale.com) ….now the ZDi has ABS, AIRBAGS, CLIMATE CONTROL, MARUTI AFTER SALES AND IT’S A…[Read more]

Shivansh Sarthak Jindal shivansh…ur cment on the safety features in i20 is wrong..totally wrong..go and check out that i2o sportz crdi offers more abs and 6 air bags while zdi offers only two..and if you talk abt trust,well bro..hyundai and maruti in today’s time stand equally in the auto market..and i20 will offer more power than zdi with same…[Read more]

Sonu Nagpal Hi buddy…it is not like you are right n I AM WRONG…lol…At the price point of a Swift ZDi the i20 does not offer the same features…..Looks are better no doubt…the swift handles WAYYY BETTER….actually all the others have better handling (except the vista ) …rest all points u can read….Prashik please do take a test…[Read more]
