If you are looking at the new generation budget sedan in the Rs 6-7 lakh range, then these three are it. But let's start from the beginning - what matters to the Indian customer the most is looks. So, which of these three is the beauty? The Aveo walks away with the honours - it's the sassiest of the lot and its 1.4 litre engine's 94 bhp is also the most that cars in this trio have on offer. Actually, it's just 8 bhp less than the much more expensive Aveo 1.6.
The Chevy Aveo is the cool kid on the block. It's got sexy styling and very nice interiors. It has got a spacious an dairy cabin and the backseat is really one of the most comfortable places to be in. Upfront, the story is different. The gearstick is iffy and it just does not have the go. But of all the 1.4-litre cars, the Aveo clearly gives the better figures.
While the Logan's extra 200 cc gives it the torque advantage and therefore, the best roll-on times. However, it's the zesty Ford Fiesta which draws you into a world of charged, enthusiastic driving. The Fiesta has the quicker 0-100 time and is clearly the one that makes the cut on the road.
Now the Fiesta is a pure driver's delight. The gearshift has a nice positive throw about it. The steering feels well weighted and has a direct feel. And the engine has a good bottom-end torque, giving it a nice punchy drive. The only thing, this one lacks is top-end whack.
