Ride and handling is a priority. Punto is on the top of that pyramid without doubt, I agree. But I'm not taking that risk putting hard earned money on a FIAT no matter how better it is!
Its not like a person has only one priority. Most purchases are a compromise on multiple priorities and a product which fulfills the most boxes.
As for me- I'm looking at the following-
1. Fun to drive hatch with decent power.
2. Good ride and handling. (Current ride is a WagonR which is why i am so fixed on ride and handling. Want something much more fun to throw around corners).
3. Looks.
4. Interior quality.
5. Features, specially power windows, ABS and ACC.
5. Reliable, holds its value over short term and long term.
5. Cost of running.
6. Should be mod-friendly since I'll be keeping it for a long term.
7. Image. Not brand value, but the image the car potrays. I want something that feels young and sporty.

Try getting women to spot a Vista from an Indica. Hopefully, the new refresh will be better in this respect. Yet to see it personally. Majority of people think Vista suffers from Indica's taxi image.

Isnt that what I'm saying? Jazz is the better car for most people! More brand image, better space, better boot, comparable or better engine.
However, that doesnt make it a fun car! The handling, steering are just not there! I believe same has been echoed in Team Bhp Official review as well.

In the segment, which one would you recommend then?

I haven't. Apologies if I have given that impression somewhere. And i am not taking that risk either- mainly FIAT and to an extent Skoda.
PS- Yet to do the final round of TDs before booking any car. Will do that in the first week of sep when i get back home for Onam holidays.
