Not really sure of your requirment.

AVEO 1.4 LS is better looking, specious and powerful car among the shortlisted ones.

Thanks for the revert . Am looking for a a great driving experience within my budget ( more or less the 3 cars are within that range ) . I have heard that the mileage of Aveo is not too great ! Is it true ? Basically have a choice between the skoda fabia 1.2 classic and the aveo 1.4 LS . I know the power part is better in Aveo but what about the overall driving experience and the snob appeal ? Your views will be greatly appreciated 

Drive Safe !

Aveo is a bigger(spacious) car between these three. I would also add that is the best looking(my opinion)

The car scores good on most common parameters , but the general perception is that it has a lacklustre performance (not really a drivers car, not fun to drive).

As you are considering a hatchback also why not keep the Swift Diesel,Punto in focus also.

UVA is supposed to be revamped in the immediate future, the 1.2 Fabia is a non performer.

The Dzire Vxi makes great sense, but the petrol engine might well be upgraded in the near future.

Out of three mentioned car , Aveo is better in most of the terms. Only thing it has not got airbags & built in music system.Overall real VFM. As far as FE is concerned it gives 12-13 kmpl in city & 15 on highway. My three friends are using it for almost last two years & they are happy with it.
