Don't buy the Swift Vdi very poor quality, instead good value Hyundai i20.

EXTERIOR

1. Maruti offers very poor quality body & bumper fittings
2. Back bumper should belowered to make loading easy

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

1. Badly fitted rattling interior
2. Boot space has been reduced
3. Reduce outside noise
4. Back is not split.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

1. Good tweaked engine
2. 18.5 kms/litre urban plus highway
3. Terrible gearbox groan in 3rd, 4th & 5th gear past 60.  Comes from poorly put together gear box.

Ride Quality & Handling

1. Good ride & handling

Final Words

1. Not good value for money. After adding on a good audio system, seat covers, foot mats, steering cover & alloys it costs as much as Hyundai i20, which is a far superior vehicle in every respect with many extra's like rear camera, extra leg room, bigger boot space, 4 wheel disc brakes & no waiting period for delivery.

Areas of improvement  

1. Gear Box
2. Reduce rear bumper height so loading a 15 kilo suitcase becomes easier.
3. Focus the lower bumper lights.
4. Improve the quality of Interior fittings & make sure they don't rattle.

Tweaked BHP, Good fuel economy, tilt steering, power windows & side view mirrorsTerrible gearbox grone, badly fitted interior noise.
