    DRIVING:

    I started researching the hatchbacks (Not small cars, never even had a thought of owning one)

    Due to some reason I wanted to go for Swift before I sat in it.. This was merely based on reviews and friend's suggestions. 

    I testdrove the ZXI version and the VDI.. Good that the dealer said their waiting time is 1-2 months.. which made me look for other options.  My immediate option was Chevy U-VA.  The nearest showroom was sundaram motors.  The car is good.. I felt it little under powered.. AC was good though.  I was worried about service,, as GM has very less service centers and that too in Major cities.

    Jumped to DSC Hyundai where I found the car designed for me.. Immediately after getting into the driver's seat I felt as if I am in a luxuary sedan.. The thud of the door reflected the premium factor.  I tested both 1.1 and 1.3 for 20-30 Kms each. (I had a friend at DSC) and felt 1.3 would be optimum for me. 

    I covered 4000 Kms till date, the car is a superb and quiet performer, german quality, I wished there is an option of driver seat height adjust (not a problem at all, seats are very comfortable).  Clutch feels very soft, gearshift - awesome, Swift does not even come closer to this..  Drive is very smooth, can take on bad roads very easily.  My friend always complains of his Swift VXI being bumpier and stiff.

    I am very greatfull to the Maruthi dealer, who said a minimum waiting period of 45 days for ZXI..  Swift feels cheap, both in front and rear seats.. Mileage is not much different between the petrol versions of Swift and Getz prime.. I am getting an average of 12 in City traffic and 16 on Highway..

    Superb style, looks neat. head and tail lamps looks great on PrimeNone
