Both engines are reliable in daily use, but they cater to different needs. The 1.3L engine is more fuel-efficient and well-suited for city driving. The 1.5L engine offers better power and is more comfortable for highway trips and hilly areas. In terms of vibration, lag, o r durability, both perform well if regular maintenance is followed. Minor reports of vibration in the 1.3L variant during idle have been traced to engine mounts o r fuel quality issues, which can be addressed easily.
