Hey, thats bad, really bad. You compare an airbag equipped car with a non airbag car, thats not right. Any car with airbags will get 3 star, as it will stop immediate injury to passengers head. This is no comparison.BTW I voted for i20 .![[;)]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Wink.gif "Wink [;)]")
Tata Bolt vs Maruti Swift vs Hyundai i20 vs VW Polo vs Fiat Punto vs Nissan Micra

The twin airbag equipped Indian Swift scored 3 stars and so did the Vista having the same specification.
But my opinion is, the Vista will be the safer car in case of impact at a slightly higher speed that these test speeds. (Maybe minimizing occupant/driver injuries than the Swift as the body construction is more stronger and the shell is stronger.)
One can see the A-pillar of the Swift being fractured/bent whereas the A-pillar and cabin shell of the Vista has actually very low damage; tested at the same speeds. Bigger airbags are in fact a good thing as the position,height and size of the occupants may vary.
Also one doesn't have to worry of his/her face getting damage during airbag deployment unless he/she has fastened their respective seat-belt.
My vote goes for the Bolt!

Top-end variant of the car is equipped with Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic-Brake Distribution (EBD), Corner Stability Control (CSC), and dual SRS airbags for driver and co-driver.
ABS and cornering brake control – a feature that moderates braking pressure through a high-speed sharp turn to prevent it from sliding out.
Tata has done a great job in maintaining the overall safety of the Car.
My Vote too goes for the Bolt!!!

My vote goes to i 20, Elite i 20 because it has a first in class all round disc brakes. And it has many features which made the other car manufacturer's to provide a car with many features for increasing the sales.
Today for the first time i saw the Bolt in our township. One of my neighbor got delivery of Tata Bolt. I must say that front view of TATA bolt is really aggressive and it looks premium. Far better than swift, brio etc. But when i checked the side profile i was disappointed. The same old egg shape. Alloys in grey color looks good. Also overall stance of the car is higher than the normal hatchbacks.
Well Bolt is the overall package !! Just took a TD of bolt at Wasan Motors with the Reward Card.
.I personally own Micra, but i am getting carried away by BOLT. Here is the short review from me as a buyer.
The touch-screen infotainment system from Harman is a big plus point of the Bolt as the 8-speaker system has impressive audio quality along with a ton of features including voice commands, Bluetooth, USB, AUX, climate control, SMS readout
As far as braking is concerned, the Disc-Drum combination works well which build confidence to drive the car at higher speed
In terms of ride and handling, the Bolt could easily be one of the best in its segment.
Now what else you need in a CAR !!
Now lets wait for the Mileage Figures and Ownership reviews which will confirm my decision for buying Bolt

News from the Auto Market, Bolt XMS Trim is high on demand. This time its Revotron and not Diesel.
Autocar has mentioned the XMS trim (petrol: Rs 5.40 lakh, diesel: Rs 6.34 lakh) gets dual front airbags and ABS. The XMS is a pretty well-equipped trim, and provides all the necessary features and fitments, including the essential front airbags and ABS.
This makes the XMS a better value proposition than the XT, and thus, is in high demand with prospective buyers.![[clap]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Clap.gif "Clap [clap]")

Great news, thanks for sharing. Only if the jokers at Maruti Suzuki also offered a safety trim...
Will Bolt or Swift perform better than the other when it comes to safety (Top trims, both)?

Ok Guys, here is just another quick review by AUTOCAR INDIA, which compares Bolt with Etios Liva and Grand i10. Author has given a fair review.
He has started the conversation of Bolt on positive note where he says "This is the best-looking Tata hatchback yet, and stylish enough to hold your attention. The spread-out headlights, the blacked-out C-pillar and those neat tail-lamps give it a distinct look. It carries off the bright red paint rather well, but we wish Tata had used paint for the C-pillar as well, instead of a cheap vinyl sticker. Also, the Bolt’s Vista roots are very evident in its glasshouse and the general ‘jacked up’ stance"
He has also mentioned few odds but at the end vote goes to BOLT....

How is it that both are basically the same cars yet one manages to sell relatively higher.? Or was there a facelift I missed.
