Dzire dampener -- no defogger in vxi

Exterior

 Looks good stright on and from the back. a litlle obscure from the side view

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 everything good. just 2 negatives---no defogger in Vxi model  and space for 600 ml bottles only in the door pockets.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 engine o.k. Could have been more silent though. fuel economy around 12.5 to 13  with ac ( as shown by the indicators). Gear box not butter smooth but decent. Steering is light. Good for City. haven't been tto much on the highway part.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Fine ride quality, good handling. Rolls a bit at sharp corners at the back seat. Handles potholes decently. Suspension is good. Ac cools effectively.

Final Words

 For 50000/- more you get a bigger looking car than the swift. End of debate.

Areas of improvement  

 Floor carpet should have been of dark colour. The thickness of glass in the doors is a desperate cost cutting example. bumpers could have been more solid. they are wafer thin( It is almost the same though in other brands). maruti should have been generous enough to provide De-fogger in Vxi Model

one major area for improvement is that place for Airbags at dashboard area in ZXI and Zdi models could have been designed for  storing of knick-knacks in the Vxi/Vdi  and Lxi/Ldi models.
