I thought it was: Fiat Palio 1.6 Sports!

Back to topic, the Car that comes close to Palio's features is: Aveo U-VA!
Test drive it & then decide.
Also check out Swift D, but I heard a huge waiting period of 3 - 6 months, so that may not be a good idea!

Pawan, Parag was driving a Palio before. He may have a reason not to look at Fiat again.

With a six lakh budget, there are a lot of things you can look at Parag. Let us know your needs in detail.

What do you mean?
All those who recommend a Palio here, own a Palio!
Unlike some who have never driven/own a Palio, but would blindly recommend not to buy a Palio!

Since its both chauffer and self driven and considering long trips, Palio stile or Indica(go) may fit the bill. If you travel rear seat when chauffer driven, then I doubt Swift. Can the Estilo meet Palio in terms of ride quality?

I would say go for Getz(non prime) if you want a petrol car, and Swift DDiS if you want diesel.
