        Cars from Fiat, Volkswagen and Skoda are known for their superior build quality. Punto / Linea, Fabia / Rapid, Polo / Vento – all these cars come with superior build quality and perfect combination or ride + handling for highway driving needs.

        Your top choices have to the the Fiat cars, Punto or Linea. Punto offers the highest GC at 185mm and the suspension is a case study for its perfect setup. Linea is a bit lower, but very good nonetheless. The other capable option is the Maruti SX4. You get Scorpio beating GC, with the assurance of Maruti’s support and low maintenance costs.…[Read more]

        Yes, but a fully loaded diesel Swift (ZDi) would cost Rs. 6,76,981.15 (ex-showroom Delhi) while a fully loaded diesel Ford Figo (Titanium) would only cost Rs. 5,94,200.00 (ex-showroom Delhi) and that is a huge price difference for a some missing features.

        Its not just the price. Swift’s interiors feel so much plusher. And the seats are much more comfortable. The controls are lighter and the ride quality better. If you find the Swift too expensive, go for the Ritz and save some money on what is otherwise an identical car.

        On all four fronts, the Swift is better without a doubt but with just a little margin. The price difference between the two is noticeable, which is increased due to the discounts running on the Figo, probably due to a new variant launch or to push sales. The Swift also has an indefinite waiting time. So on paper though the Swift seems like the…[Read more]

        I’ll say Beat because Figo may offer few things but the difference is still not much. Beat is more reliable and is better looking car. For the highways, Figo is more fun but looking for more city driving Beat is an excellent car with small turning radius and highest fuel efficiency. Interior quality is great but boot space is a problem in Beat.

        I’ll suggest Ford Figo; I’m having one and I drove swift too…! ride quality is better in Figo, 2nd gear lag is less in Figo compared to Swift. Good interiors, spacious, Looks like a small, but heavy and will give the feeling of riding an SUV.

        Dzire makes a better case as a city car purely on the basis of lighter controls. The Classic shares its music system with the Figo and that is one audio unit I really like.

        Both cars have had a history of rattles. The Swift with the plastic panels and the i20 with the steering. The new models have seen big improvements with regards to build quality but neither car is anywhere as solid as the Punto or Fabia.

        if u want strongest & better build quality car then only one car is available in indian market that is FIAT PUNTO…..For nice mileage both swift & i20 use low weight plastic , that is reason swift & i20 mileage 22 + km/l (according to car maker company) & FIAT PUNTO mileage is 20.5 km/l (according to car maker company).

        thickness of the steel used in Swift is better than that of i20… crumple zone in swift is better than i20. middle, front and c pillars on swift are better. if it was me, i would ststick with swift on this subject, plus partsof hyundar are way costly than maruti…..

        Hyundai i20 is slightly on the better side but normally both are almost same as both are from Asian manufacturer. i20 has euro N-cap 5 star rating while Swift has 4 star.

        i20 better built than swift, maruti cars are low on strength as compared to the compitetion. I20 is better build than swift but polo tops them all. Figo is one another car which is better built as ford cars are always heavy as compared to the other manufacturers.
