I have almost zeroed in on Palio1.6 sport. I stay in Vashi and my off is less than 5 Km. Im not bothered about mileage but about Performance,safety,road stability/grip,speed/pick up & problem free car.Ofcourse not concerned about resale value also. Now my questions are 1. I find Palio Sport has ABS and is probably the cheapest among hatchbacks which has ABS. Is this a good feature to look for and is Palio ABS four wheel controlled? 2.A bit confused if I shud go for Petra - but Petra doesnt seem to have ABS. Is Petra a better car compared to Palio 1.6 in terms of safety and ride. 3. Also have in mind Getz. 4. What are the best deals and how can I get benefit through you for purchasing. I will go for finance. Kindly reply keeping in view my priorities. Thanks & Rgds Srinivasa Rao

Dear Srinivasa, In Palio ABS is optional, not as a standard feature. Also since you are going to drive it very minimal and within city, you might not need ABS much hence you must not consider this feature as prime car buying factor. Petra is bigger car than Palio but Palio 1.6 Sport has its own charm and status. It has less investment and resale is better too than Petra. Getz could be a option if you are looking for economy. Palio 1.6 is more of performance rather than economy. If economy is your criteria consider Getz or Swift otherwise buy Fiat Palio 1.6 Sport and enjoy the wonderful drive. For purchasing the car through carwale.com, please call Mr. Fasih at 93232 13839.

Thanks for ur suggestions. I guess You need to update ur features data as it shows that ABS is available in Sport and at the normal price.Not as optional. I test drove Petra and it was great to drive but booked Sport 1.6 as the dealer was offering mind blowing discount on Palios. Rgds Srinivasa Rao
