Verdict:
Fabia: It is for the discerning ones, cut above the rest, nice handling and good ride. The interiors are also good. But watch out for the after sales service of Skoda as it comes with a heavy price tag.
Swift: The sporty racy one. If you enjoying driving then you’re gonna enjoy driving this one, but remember that it has a very cramped back seat and almost no boot space.
i20: Decent efficiency and performance, and lots of space. Nothing really exciting about it. It’s a bit pricy too.
Ritz: Combines everything quite nicely; performance and space wise. As a package it comes out very well, but may not be the best among all. It has a good fuel economy and is really value for money.
