sujith3120 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2008 It has to be the swift without any doubt! A hatch is mostly self driven so rear space is not of immense importance! Swift is the most practical, affordable feature loaded hatch of the above list. A lot of reviews say that the vista is good too, but some how it doesnt look as exciting as the swift.

speed 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2008 Vista has yet to prove itself, Getz is almost dead, Fabia is hugely overpriced, Palio is too old & fast approaching extinction, This leaves us with only Swift, which easily is the winner for now, For near future eyes are set on i20 & Punto, Punto if priced rightly & Fiat delivering goods, has the potential to top the segment.

Durango Dude 2 Report post Posted September 27, 2008 If there is a 'hot hatch' it's the Getz <diesel>, and Palio 1.6 sport; like it or not. Fabia with its present set of engines doesn't qualify for 'hot hatch'; more like 'insipid, overpriced, hatch': as 'hot' as dahi in the fridge.Durango Dude2008-09-27 12:53:30 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hsb_sx4 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2008 vista is the best diesel hatch in the market as it comes with the same brilliant engine from fiat that has proved itself in swift. but what makes it better than its main rival-swift is the extremely roomy cabin, beatiful interiors, comfort, and features like seat and stearing height adjust, double din music player, rear wiper that automatically starts when the front wipers are running and the reverse gear is engaged, and lumbar support along with a very tempting price. tata has already proved itself by constantly improving the quality of their cars and with vista, they have moved the game further. MY VOTE GOES TO VISTA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RonakG 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2008 How does Getz 1.3 compare with Swift? Does Getz 1.3 come close to Swift in terms of performance and driving pleasure? Gets is much better in space and comfort than Swift. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sharash 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2008 Its VISTA for me since it has all that a hatch can have, and at that price it is a steal!! @speed: I think Tatas dont have to prove themselves anymore they are above it in India! They have a sure winner in VISTA!! Â Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yamahaR15 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2008 guys we are not talking about petrol hatch only diesel .......U-VA is out . because its having only petrol engines Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speed 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2008 @Sharash, yes Tata's do have a winner in Vista, but Vista has to prove itself like any other product from Tatas in terms of reliability & glitches & minor niggles. To date whatever product Tata has launched has had some or the other issues initially & Tata takes time to sort out problems. Ideally 2-4 months time from launch ensure minor problems are sorted out. So, if I were to buy a car right now, I would opt for proven Swift or else if Im hell bent to go in for Vista, I would like to wait for atleast 6 months for Tata to make Vista free of any issues it has.

CYRUS43 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2008 A "hot-Hatch" means something that is cheap yet extremely fast. There is only one Extremely fast hatchback in India. And that is the Palio Stile 1.6. PERIOD!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vroomo 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2008 i will give my vote to vista... be it design, interiors, space, features and most important price its better than all... ya i do agree that tatas dont have the good service outlets but looking at the package i prefer vista over others Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carkrazzy 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2008 maruti swift is a true winner in allaspect..! to be very frank...a hatch is preffered by the majority of self driven people.few of hatch owner can only afford the driever. since maruti is a trustable brand my vote goes with the SWIFT...Since tata indica vista just have the same engine and very other parts are still of tata's...so one always have the confusion on spending about 5 lacks on the hatch names under tata brand. if we talk about the rear seat comfort then every one out here have to agree with me ...that if swift rear seat is not so comfortable like the vista's but its not too bad to accompany three adult and a kid at the swift rear...! tata vista have a new design but still the basic model is the same to the older model....whereas swift is an ee-catching car even its so common on the roads these dayz..! Millage is always the important to most of the hatch buyers...swift surely offers more millage than the vista....bocz vista is bit havior than the swift..! ......SWIFT SIMPLY ROCKS...!

bluesapphire 1 Report post Posted October 20, 2008 Well yamaha good poll but you should keep this as Single vote only..now members can keep voting and thus Swift got 72 votes..even 1 member can vote this several number of times and hence it doesnt serves the purpose Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

raj_5004 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2008 i can only relate the word "hot" to the swift now. the indica vista looks cold from all angles except the front. the getz is too plain. a swift on a cool set of alloys can still turn heads. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krace 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2008 Though I prefer Vista for its VFM factor, Swift is the hot hatch over here. My vote goes to Swift since the poll is on 'Hot Hatch' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
