Choosing between a Ford Aspire and Maruti Dzire

I need your help in deciding in between the diesel variants of the Maruti Dzire and the Ford Aspire.

AAA If you like driving, the Aspire diesel is a far better choice as it has a stronger engine and more entertaining handling. The ride quality is good too. The Dzire is a more complete compact sedan with a generous cabin, spacious boot and good levels of equipment. The 1.3 diesel engine in the Dzire, however, is quite old now and not as punchy or refined as the Aspire’s 1.5-litre diesel engine.
