Hi guys, we are choosing between the Spin or the EcoSport. I know that these two vehicles belong to different classifications and some of our needs pretty leans toward the Spin, I would like to know what is your view between the two and what would be the best choice given a set of criteria:

From my research and some interview with my car enthusiast friend he prefer the Spin over the EcoSport because of the following:

1. Spin's fuel economy is excellent
2. Spin is a 7-seater which is suitable for us if ever our other 7-seater vehicle breaks down
3. Spin's engine power is good considering it has only a 1.3 liter (1.2 on the spec sheet) engine displacement
4. Diesel engine

Now, why are we considering EcoSport, because of the following:

1. EcoSport's look is really good, beautiful in and out
2. Has better looking dashboard and it feels like a fiesta but has an SUV looking exterior
3. Has an automatic transmission variant

We really want an automatic this time but I realized the clutch of the Spin is not really hard, I think it will not be that tiring to drive in a traffic condition.

I have already test driven the Spin and I can say that the engine is good, you can leave it rolling in 2nd gear (since it is diesel) and sometimes in 3rd gear if the terrain is flat. I am looking forward to trying out the EcoSport this week.

Thanks for any replies.
