I think Verna is it.. and then the swift dezire. Optra goes on the higher side otherwise that is quite refined

optra will cost more then 10. - I think.

i dont agree with the swift hatch being quiet on the inside.
i drove one for more than 1000 kms and there was a lot of diesel clatter inside the cabin but only at speeds below 40kmph.
i found the verna to be better insulated.

I would say the Fiesta TDCi has a well-insulated cabin for a diesel. It doesnt feel like a diesel once inside.

Besides that, i suppose the Verna also scores here.

My experience: Logan Diesel is best Sedan for low cabin noise, It beats every Diesel car. Then comes fiesta.

Dezire has got bad insulation.

I support the comment. I have test driven the Vista, and felt the same

I too will rate Logan pretty high in cabin noise levels comparable to Verna. Was surprised to find this in the airport taxi when i used it first time. I dont have experience with Fiesta though. Indigo is pretty noisy for sure. Same is the case with Swift.

Getz CRDI - too silent in the segment

[rockyb]

Mahindra Bolero GLX - with IDI engine - with windows rolled up - its very quiet - cuts down both engine and ambient noise.

[lamborghini]

Definitely not fiesta. The engine is refined, but i can hear everything else from outside, such as tire noise and all. At times, even the engine.

My experience in Logan Diesels have been restricted to Airport Taxis and I've found them to be very noisy, comparable to the Indigos.

Perhaps they were badly maintained examples, but these were on more than one occassion and most of the cabs I rode in hadnt done any serious mileage - the oldest had done about 22k kms.

Ford Fiesta 1.4 TDCi is the best.
Verna comparitively makes a lot of noise cranking up. However, it is quite silent after warming up.

[doctorque]

nothing as refined and less noisy as fiesta TDCI. I was with ford when i started and came accross hundreds who agreed with me on this..
i dont why people think it is under powered too, with the revs between 2k rpm - 3.5k rpm its really fun.

I was quite happy with the sound insulation levels of my tata safari dicor 3.0.
At very high revs, the sound did creep in quite a bit though.

Totally agree on that one. Some of our opinions are biased based on whether we have sat in the car when the engine is cold or when it has just had a long drive. Ideally a 15-20 km drive is the time when the engine clatter has subsided.

I can't believe it's the same car I am driving when I compare the in-cabin noise after start-up and when I am idling before shutting off after a long drive. The difference is definitely noticeable.
