Thank you guys for all the wishes.I will start a seperate thread on the ownership with pictures included.

Architect,thanks for the update on HPS.The concorde people never told me this.As you mentioned i would prefer HPS because i find EPS scary at high speeds.

Footwell has posed no issues for me.Its only a matter of time if somebody finds it tight.The clutch is a little heavy,but thats ok.Now the seating position is not the vertical style which you gets in swift.In swift you sit tall,but in fiat your seating is more downwards.I find Swift seating more comfortable in the city due to its visibility.But in the long run i think you will be more comfy with fiat seating,especially in the long drives because it offers more support and comfort.

One thing i noticed in this short stint is that the car gives you a lot of confidence to push hard.I missed this in swift.But again this is subjective because this might not be the case with others.

The exterior looks and color is appreciated by everybody.The design still attracts people eventhough its almost a decade old.

Jaggu,I also believe that the engine needs more time to free up as its diesel.But based on my experience with swift she was buttersmooth when i got the delivery.But the difference is negligible...
