I visited GM and Fiat showrooms recently for exploring upgrade of my existing car . Here are my observations :
Corsa /Corsa Sail : I found the The seating height to be *low . even the front legroom is low and feels cramped for taller people. I think the biggest drawback is the car feels smaller both inside and outside , compared to other cars in the same segment . But if you are ok with the constraints , GM has lot of discounts on offer for both these cars.
Palio : Interior is definitely more spacious , though feels a little dated. I hear fiat only has the 1.2 L engine offer for now , which can be sluggish but adequate for city driving.
Petra : I did get a peek at this car and with the reduced price of about 5.3 lacs on road , it is great VFM.
The car looks very pleasing from outside ( a palio with a boot !) . they rear seat felt a little more comfortable compared to the siena. Having said that interiors still look a little dated. the best part is the familiar 1.6 L engine whipping out 100 bhp that made the palio 1.6 GTS the hottest hatch !
