The summary was that this car has better materials than Polo, better leg room, but engines are at best just "ok". Its more loaded than ANHC but ANHC will continue to have more power, space, and A.S.S. and my opinion is that Vento might sway some buyers, but ANHC will retain its position. Saw an ANHC over the weekend with Honda's PU seat covers. Believe it or not, I found its interiors (thanks to the seat covers) good for the first time. It reminded me of Civic apart from the ever so boring and cheap central console (with AC knobs just not fitting a 10 lakh rupee car). However if I had to put my money, it probably still would be ANHC and part of it is due to the fact that it gives u a C+ segment feel under 10 lakhs. Car is not perfect, but we have no alternative that comes close.... Verna is dated, SX4 is small size wise in comparison/mileage concerns, Aveo (does it still sell?), Cedia is same as it was some 7 years ago, Vento...mmm at least the petrol engine leaves a lot to be desired. I am dissapointed with ANHC but I guess any buyer in this segment with limited budget has no other choice... Its the only poor mans big car that comes close to ticking all the right boxes. | |

Agreed as far as the Current 1.4 Petrol Version is concerned. But the T-Jet can prove a Dark Horse for FIAT. As far as the Engine specifications & features depict, the car has a lot of potential. |

The new Vento offers an experience that is truly best in class. The Vento will be available with a 1.6L MPI Petrol engine and a 1.6L Common-Rail Diesel engine. In addition to the 5 Speed Manual Transmissions, the 1.6L MPI Petrol engine offers a 6 Speed Auto Transmission that is undeniably best in class. This is just a glimpse of our new offering. We will keep you updated with the latest information on the new Vento in the near future. | |

First due to the lack of choice, the ANHC A/T is the closest competitor and feels horribly overpriced. Secondly, I believe in the brand, moreover german quality on the whole. Thirdly, the specs and looks. |
