Competitors are feeling threatened with the initial success of Honda Amaze.

Here's how the Etios stands when pitted against the Tata Manza, one of its close competitiors.
The Manza is basically the sedan version of the indigenous hatchback, Indica Vista.
The Tata Manza (Quadrajet Aura ABS) has clocked a mileage of 46.33 km per litre.
Tata Motors is showcasing its Manza sedan and Prima range of world trucks at the Johannesburg International Motor Show in South Africa, with plans to formally launch these vehicles in the country early next year.
The Manza will be available with two fuel options, seven colours and four versions -- Aqua, Aura, Aura (ABS) and Aura+. The car will be powered by a 1.4 litre Saffire petrol engine and a 1.3 litre Quadrajet diesel engine sourced from Fiat, both producing identical power.
While the market awaits the new sedan Maruti Kizashi, there is some more interesting information floating in from the Maruti and Tata stables regarding a diesel SX4 and a face-lifted Tata Manza.
he Manza is being offered with four variants in two engine options petrol and diesel. Both these engines are the same as those inside partner Fiat's Linea sedan. With the engines manufactured at the joint venture plant at Ranjangaon, the company hopes to reap the benefits of scaled-up production and pass these on to its customers.

The market for compact cars has become really cut-throat.
