        The only car which they have left is Fabia not swift Because even after they have increase the wheelbase it can accomadate 5 people but not with confort and its has smallest boot so luggage space is a issue.

    Why the Tata Vista diesel is better value than Maruti Suzuki Swift

    Tata Motors launched the face-lifted Vista a week after the new Swift was launched. The Swift is the popular and more preferred car among the two, but you will be surprised by this: for a certain set of buyers, the Vista diesel Quadrajet is a better proposition than the Swift diesel. Here’s why!

        Vista is far better Than the swift in terms of best equipments and comfort,whereas the swift has only been changed at the outside and the same dreary black interiors sucks big time,whereas Indica Vista is always refreshing when you enter the vehicle and even the rear seats feels better and 3 ppl can seat abreast and comfortable in the highways.

    If you’re the kind of person who travels a lot and is frequently on the highway, you will need an appropriate car that doesn’t tire you out, doesn’t burn a hole in your wallet either and also has ample boot space.
