Hey thanks you all for such valuable replies.
@Madhur
Your point seems valid enough. As Punto must have designed best suitable gear box for its engine. Dont know is there can be any prob with swift gear box in long term.
@Mawil
I have already ruled out Indica coz of brand 'Indica' ...(inspite of all benefits)
Among rest of options:
Swift: 4-5 months waiting and not sure if the delivery i'll get will have same fiat multijet engine or some new engine (as maruti-fiat contract is finished). I dont think its worth waiting for so long.
Indigo CS TDI
Pros: Seperate boot, spacious, price(4.6Lakh), offers(free insurance+8000 corporate discount+ accessory worth 3000+ roadside assistanc worth 3000)
Cons: Engine noise and pickup in 1st and 2nd gear (before turbo starts), engine as compared to quadrajet
Fiat Punto Diesel 1.3 Active
pros: quadrajet engine, big boot and spacious sitting, offers(similar to indigo)
cons: Recently launched so practically not tested by users so much as compared to indigo, price(4.9lakh)
Majority people are in favor of punto but its strange to see that onroad presence of puto is still very less.
