Best Entry Level Diesel Sedan: Manza / Dzire / Etios / Fiesta Classic

[anand_953]

Yesterday , I checked etios with new interiors launched 5 days back.

The new Etios with better NVH, better suspension and marked improved interiors, its going to give a tough competition to its peers. Ofcourse, Dzire will be unaffected unless there is a entry level sedan car launched which is cheaper than the maruti cars in terms of parts, localization, maintenance and ASS etc no matter how the Dzire looks.

I also noticed the revolutionary reduction in NVH levels as compared to previous etios.
And I am sure etios is going to garner more votes on this thread from here onwards.

Sat in new etios, 1 month old. It is hopeless. Interiors look worse than M800 of 1985 !!

The interiors of Manza are much better even than the latest refreshed Etios. And now it is the cheapest of all and carries the national diesel engine.

It is win-win to buy Manza now.

Cheers,

I think it's time to re-launch the poll with Honda Amaze as an option. Lets see if the picture changes now.

In that case, I think we should take out the Manza as it is no way a compact Sedan like others and can include Amaze here and also Sail UVA sedan too

The thread says "Entry Level Diesel Sedan".

We categorize entry level based on price and not the size of the car. Manza very well fits in C1 segment and competes with Dzire, Etios, Classic, Sail,Verito,Indigo CS and now Amaze.

Only change in color & some false wood; issue is with the comfort of seats. I found Dzire seats to be far better than Etios & Manza wins hands down.
If Amaze seats are just like Brio, then Amaze is hopeless for seats atleast. Seats of i10 are better than Brio.

I am little confused on this statement buddy, how Dzire seats are better compared to Manza

 

[babsmatter]

Amaze ! You need to include the amaze coz it takes away the crown

Do remember friends, Amaze is a CS sedan and in no comparison with the space of Manza

Manza is only about space, so it i would prefer it as a best chauffeur driven car.

Though manza has class leading space, i still don't understand why it's not preferred in the taxi segment, all i see now is the Etios (which is currently doing huge nos only in "Taxi" segment) followed by Dzire tour and Vista to some extent. Maybe for the reason of A.S.S?

It is not because of ASS Vishwas, it is because the Club class is leading the segment and price also matter to the taxi guy
