Full Review

Swift Zxi is a good car though not easy one to drive. There are of course situations wherein you have to rely on your driving experience/expertise to ensure it does not get bruised in heavy traffic. It is due to some visiblity constraints though I have experience of twenty six years in car driving with lot of car models in India and abroad. The quality of sheet metal used is not upto the mark. Especially on the bonnet which has got depressions after opening/closing in short time.Also I did not like the quality of gear box which is not a smooth one like the earlier Zen had. I would suggest this car to those who want to just have a car for fun and preferably a second car. No need to spend so much money on a hatchback and also not get carried away by the marketing gimmicks. Sure we expect very good cars with value for money in next year.

Totally agree with visibility issues. Specially while taking reverse, you cant see the back corner of your vehicle in mirrors as well as looking behind. It looks like a big car from outside, but there is no place inside. For other things, there is small drawer on dashboard and some really small onces on doors, thats it. The place at the top of dashboard is wasted. Engine is good and smooth, even the other features are good, but doesn't feel like a complete car to me.
