  I got my Dzire (Clear Metallic Beige VDi) on April 17 th. I have done around  800 km. I drove a long distance highway about 480 km continously.  Totally 3 people travelled along with me with the boot fully loaded. It was  also absolutely fantastic  for me to drive.  After driving zen for 8 years i felt that i will find it difficult to drive a disel,but the engine was absolutely stunning. Highway mileage was 22 to 24 with AC.  I had no strain of driving the dzire. Music system was adequate but cannot be termed excellent.  AC cooling was  very effective at 41 degrees in Chennai - Coimbatore Highway. After the continous ride, people at the back said they were comfortable placed  during the entire journey. It handled even the bumpy roads quite well. I was contemplating  to buy a disel sedan in Jan. But i thought i will wait till march end for the DZire to hit the road. I am glad i waited and got this value for money car . DZire  defintely gives a tough competion to the logan and the indigo. I have been driving in the city for a while now. The pick up and ride quality is very good. I hav'nt checked the mileage in the city yet .


        Most of the reviewers say dzire is superior or comparable to Verna or fiesta. My humble request is please dont compare Dzire with Fiesta and Verna. Those are luxury sedans and are a class apart from dzire . The back seat comfort, Quality , built and design is excellent in these vehicles when compared to the dzire.  But  the only thing is you have to spend 2 lakhs more  for those cars to get the same feel of the  features as  in dzire. So if your budget is 6-7 lakhs go for the Dzire. People with higher budget do go for Verna or  fiesta.

    Ram, Thanks for your interest. After the first service , the performance of the car is the same. I am getting 19.5 in city and 24 in long . I also noticed the bubbling in my car. Is it a defect ? Is there any problem in that. Has your car also have this problem ? How is the performance of your car ?

    It is not possible in the VDI version. You have to spend extra for it.

    My car is going now for 2nd free service.
    Performance is good . The mileage remains the same. What about your experiences

    Hi all. The BUBBLING OF PAINT AT THE BOTTOM OF FRAME THROUGHOUT THE LENGTH UNDER THE DOORS is a standard feature in swift as well as dzire. The designers of the vehicle may have thought of this to serve some purpose but i'm not sure about it. Just sure that its not a defect :)

    Thanks Jaspal.

    I have gone through the review of Siddharthan. Good informative. I also have booked one, ZDI, and waiting for the delivery of the car......only thing, this waiting is really hurting. Request to siddharthan, somebody reviewed bad about its wheel and tyres. What you found.

    Mr. siddarth..

    Planning to go for diesel vechicle with your usage which one(Logan or Dzire) u will recommend for me...My req. are...Good mileage..Value for Money..Fuel Eff... Very Less running cost (spares)...Service ...

    Hi Krishna,
    The car that suits your requirements is Swift Dzire. No doubt ,Logan is a good car too. But when you look at the overall package of quality, VFM , Best mileage , excellent service and cheaper spare parts , DZIRE beats the logan . Go for the Dzire it is the best in this class.

    Hi guys,

    I am planning to buy a new car in jan-2009; I have sort listed swift desire VDI model. Since the car will be delivered after 5 months from the booking time can any one tell whether any new cars will be released in mids of December or in January. So that I will wait till jan or else I thought of booking now itself.

    the waiting time for the car here in coimbatore is more than 9 Months.(A busy dealer in coimbatore gets only 2-3 swift desire VDI per month).My cousin got the car after 7 Months. Mow the dealer has stopped booking the cars. It is up to you to decide now. waiting for 9+ months for the car is too bad..
