Top ten deals on hatchbacks in March 2014

It is a good month to buy your new car. The end of this financial year is here and so manufacturers are pushing dealers hard to improve their bottom line. Moreover, with many compact sedan launches around the corner, hatchbacks have been forced to prove their value to the discerning customer.

There are some deals that knock off as much as 20-25 percent off the sticker price. Take your pick.

2. Toyota Etios Liva

Toyota’s hatchback is available in a wide range of engines and options yet the Japanese carmaker isn’t able to clock good numbers.

6. Tata Indica Vista

The Vista is definitely not one of the mainstream hatchbacks to consider these days. It is fairly old but the company has improved it periodically to make it a much better car than it was. And with the Bolt coming the Vista will receive the same treatment as Hyundai gave the i10 after the Grand i10 was introduced. The good news is that if you are looking for an affordable car that’s feature rich and spacious, the Vista fits the bill perfectly.
