    DRIVING:
    I purchased my Swift VDi w/ABS in October 2008. Its been about 8 months now and the ODO has clocked 21,000km.

    The exterior is quite decent with sporty styling and the ORVMs provide a detailed view which comes handy in dense traffic scenarios.
    Interiors are very monotonous with the all-grey theme, could have done better more of upholstery and higher grade of plastics.
    Power window buttons get stuck very often due to this.
    Rear seats are relatively cramped due to the shorter wheel-base  as compared to cars like Indica, Getz and Fabia. Boot space is insufficient.
    Instrument gauge feels very rich with the chrome trims in the Speedo and the Tacho.
    The air-con is excellent at any level of airflow from the blower and doesn't make the car feel heavy AT ALL.

    As for the engine, it has got to be one of the best diesel engines with excellent refinement and ample power/torque delivery. The car has a very clean pull starting from 1500revs till the red-line and the mid-range performance is no slouch at all, feels very responsive!
    The steering has a smooth feel to it making the handling even easier.
    Overall its an Excellent VFM!!
    FE is very surprising for a car with a mind-blowing acceleration.
    I drive mostly in city and occasionally highway.

    Fuel Consumed till date: 1260 litres
    ODO Reading: 21047
    Overall FE: 16.7 kmpl

    In city: gives me around 15 kmpl w/ AC turned on the whole time during summers.
    Highway: I've attained 19-20 kmpl w/AC at speeds like 100-110 kmph. Should be 22kmpl + at speeds like 90-95kmph.

    After Sales Service, Jaw Dropping FE figures, Good Performance, Pleasing Ride QualityLow-Heighted Driver's Seat, Build Quality About Average
