What kind of mods are on your mind?
Palio is not a car for too much Mods. I have seen people using a Conical Air filter and Automech Exhaust but that is it. Do not think of turbo charging it. Because in case you thinking of turbo charging the Palio 1.2, better go for the 1.6 and In case you thinking of turbo charginf the 1.6, there aint any space left under the hood.
For mods like turbo charging, Swift and Zen are better options and there are people who have done it so you do have some reliability. BUt all this and the FE do not go hand in hand. Also, Swift doesnt come so cheap in the used car market.

Your tips and suggestions for the same will be of great help.
My suggestion is that up your budget a little and go for the Diesel Swift. You should get all of what you want. Power, Mileage and Performance. Make sure you upsize your tyres though.
