It was a tough choice between Palio Multijet 1.3 vs. Palio Stile 1.6. My vote goes for Palio 1.6 for sheer power it brings. It is a driver's paradise.

Swift, given its dimensions, is virtually a two seater for long drives. Very cramped rear. Build quality is such that it seems it is build to last for few years (less than 5) only.

Not much of an idea about Getz.

Tata Indica. It is a package that comes with numerous problems. Once car crosses, I suppose, 40000Kms, reliability of the car is at risk.

This is my personal opinion.

May be they are more secure than Bosch.

I agree with you. But the funny reason that Peter gives on his posts in Team-BHP is that 'Tata engines are weak and they don't last beyond 80K-100K KM. I could not help .

I dont know the description of a modern ECU.
Modern ECU = one that Peter can get a piggyback unit to sell here. Everything else belongs to the stone age

I'm.....too modern for this car, too modern for this car, too modern by faar (sung to the tune of "I'm too sexi for my shirt").

Palio_Sr, i agree with you though i own a swift. When i did have the retro palio petrol, i could seat three adults behind with no issues. The swift does come with rattles, but it has the all important turbo boost, which when used judiciously, makes the car get out of the rut of blocked traffic. note the word judiciously that i used here. otherwise the car tuns a maniac on the road and gives you a head spin. perhaps I would be better off not having such an aeronautic boost at all.

that aside, I believe the Palio's gearshift would be miles ahead of the swift in all respect. I did try a revv game with a SDX MJD palio, but turned out that he was not in the mood to revv the palio too hard, but he still managed to keep up with me though. as for boot space, rear defogger, perhaps tilt steering, and rear space, the palio wins hands down.

swift is indeed a two people car. at best a 4 people car with two short people at the back.

Looks like Dragon box suits well for all the Dicor Engines.

I feel the swift is the best among the others overall. The MJD and the Swift DDIS might share the same engines but its fun driving the swift.... the engine is more peppy on the swift and the way the car handles the curves is too gud.

My VOTE is for the 1.6 Palio for its shear power and the sense of security you get at all time. And obviously the beautiful sound this engine gives.
