I was looking to change my existing car Santro and buy a new one, it was decided long time ago that I will go for the Swift. And Last month the day came and I got a brand new Swift VXI, sporty red. I tried out Fabia, Chevrolet UVA, but this is a mean machine.
There are so many plus points in this car...I have driven number of cars in the last 10 years, but didn't come across such mixture of all. The Swift is really unique, it has a strong engine, amazing looks, while driving you feel you are the safest on the road (sometimes you feel like you are sitting in armoured vehicle), the dashboard has a white light background while looks classy at night. The car reaches 0 to 100 in no time, and has amazing grip to the road even on the deadliest turns.
The power steering, the braking, the air conditioner works extremely well....the fuel economy is a cool 14 kmpl both city and highway drive with the AC on level 2, my drive to the office daily includes 15km of highway and 5 km of city drive.
The interiors of the Swift could have been done a bit better, they could have put some bright lights for the arm controls for the central locking and power windows, to a new driver who has just given up his Santro, which has an amazing pick up...the Swift does not perform well...as it takes some time to get into that swing as soon as you have pressed the brakes. But an experienced driver will just know how to play with the baby, with some gear shift this thing flies.
The body of the Swift is too good as it does not let outside noise...not even the noise of friction of the tyres enter the cabin as it gently slides away with ease.
In all the Car is one best thing that Suzuki has given to the customer....
I only repent that I should have gone for the Disel version....but it was out of reach for me at this point of time cost wise.
