Full Review

after about 2 months and above 2400 kms in the Odometer i am posting my first review on my Swift VDi . here are the following things i would like to share with you all.
The Engine is quite Decent
The Power is Quite great and you will never know the diference between petrol and this one.( Good pick upp too)
The Gearshift is also good.
The milage i get is around14-16 in city wid 95% AC on and 18-20 in highway with 40%AC on. i Put Indian Oils Normal Diesel.
Had the First free service last month and it costed me just rs580.
I feel maruti should improve the intrior with Biege color.
No keyless entry is avaible so i had to fit it from the accesory.
As the rear bootglass is small i had to put rear parking sensor for helping me reverse the car and park(it really helps).
I think its worth the Wait and if anyone is looking for it my serious suggestion is goo for it. It Really ROCKS!!!


The 1st Anniversary  Update  -  REPORTING (15,000 kms run )

around 7 months back i upgraded my tyres from 165/80  14" to   185/ 65 R 14 - Bridgestone tyres as i felt the earlier tyres lacked some road grip and the car wasnt sturdy , since the upgradation the Road grip is simply amazing and i still get 14 - 15 kmpl in city and recently i managed to get around 21 kmpl in highways after a 400 kms long journey , right now my car i 15000 km run and is still driving like a GEM , 3 free services are now exhausted and yet to do my paid service!

Cheers,
Sri

Hi Guys! I have been using swift VDI since July 2007 and have crossed allmost 45000Kms. Driving the said car is really and enjoyment. The pick-up, mileage and comfort are all fabulous. The only concern I have is that interiors i.e. plastic parts and seat beige are of inferior stuff. Also car starts rattling noise after some time. Could anybody suggest, how to overcome this? Regards, Manoj Koul (Mumbai)

Hi Decision on a new car is taking time.Currently I own a Maruti 800. Want to move to a veichle with BOOT Choices r Swift; Dzire;U-Va; Aveo Aveo - superb interior mileage have doubts city 10kms, highway 15kms is it True?? U-Va - Bad looks .sceptical of Spare costs ( after 3year packge). Inside is comfotable Dzire or Swift - Bad interiors when compared to Chevy. Back seat no leg room.Rattles badly after sometime Only other option Honda City- Price A BIG LEAP Pls analyze in detail n reply
