When we talk fun to drive factor, we talk about the car's ability to make the driver a part of itself.

Hyundai getz and verna diesels while having an excellent engine dont make a much progress after that. Also they are priced badly.
Swift does have a nice linear delivery and good handling but the power steering makes road feedback vague. I would recommend it below 5 lacs.
Fiat palio 1.6 is a nice car with 100 horses on paper but my td made me questions self whether its really 100 horses. It sure is powerful but the old GTX and S10 were a stonker.

Ford Fiesta is a no compromise driver's car and is best at what it does but the platform has not been done well for India. The bonet lever is on the left side and the boot loading area is high. But does that matter when you control the 5 circles of Fun to Drive? I would not.

Go TD the cars and handle it your way at your risk. The one that glues you on the drivers seat for another round is the car you want.
