The engine is not overstressed as I thought. I just was expecting much more from swift. But as far as hatch backs are concerned, there is no other car currently available in the market that can compete with swift. Buy it and you will enjoy it. I have four cars and Swift is my favourite.

Swift will sure be unbeatable if option of 1.6 baleno engine was given. Nevertheless, a good car for the price.

If you are looking for a car for city driving, there are the choices (best from every manufacturer) - 1. Fiat Palio - Good car but ..... Fiat Dealers........ I want a car to drive and not to worry about. 2. Opel Corsa & Corsa Sail - Decent car but cramped interiors. Good suspensions though. Op read more...

I always hated MUL for its flimsy build and very poor interior quality. Hyundai small cars are even more flimsy but interiors are good. Apart from above mentioned drawbacks, I never had any problem with the MUL especially engine. I had driven both carbeurator and MPFI esteem. Though carb version read more...

All honda engines are imported and not manufactured in India. Hence, New or old does not matter. But all maruti engines are manufactured in india. And hence, new engine means lots of new investment and hence the increase in cost. Importing will also shoot the engine price. A Honda 2.4 VTec engine read more...

Hi Haq, Sorry about the incident. Can you do an analysis and find out why the car rolled. Ideally, a good car must never roll at any speeds. There must been some other technical problem. This could help many others.

I am hearing lot of problems regarding delivery. I guess MUL never expected so much of booking. Their target was 4000 cars per month. Around 40,000 vehicles have been booked as of now - its their 10 months target. Obviously, the company could not handle such a volume. I hope this does not attribute read more...

I know quite some people who booked Swift ZXi and due to the dealership and delivery problems, they changed their decision and started looking for other cars. After setting your mind on Swift, the only other car that you would be interested is Getz. They had their reservations about Getz before Swif read more...

Its real fun debating..... :-) Bringing a new modern engine means lots of work and money involved and there must be return of investment for it. Think from a company perspective. In case of Swift, a higher spec modern engine would have raised the cost by more than a lakh and prospective buyers wi read more...

I really doubt if Honda Jazz will hit the indian roads in near future. A hatchback cannot be priced over 5.5L in India else it would be a failure. Honda city is selling very well and and I doubt if Honda will release a compact car of much lower price with same looks. It would really take out the pre read more...

The new MPFI esteem engine is not very old. The only thing that MPFI esteem engine carried from its predecessor is the dimensions of the bore and nothing else. It has a modified head with 16 valves and direct fuel injection instead of carbeurator. The old esteem engine developed 62 bhp while the MPF read more...

When going for a new computer with higher processing power, you will see and feel the difference. But in case of automobile industry, it is not the same case.Ford Mustang GT of 80s developed more power and torque than most modern cars and is still more pleasure to drive than many cars. Whether s read more...

Please consider the price factor before making the comparison. The global image of Suzuki is a small car manufacturer. Suzuki never did good in big cars. But Honda, Toyota and others are known for big cars. Its the same story in India. Maruti small cars are very good (On par or better than its ri read more...

I can really understand the attitude of the Maruti dealers. They have won a Jackpot and don't really care that much for a swift buyer as the car is selling like a hot cake. Walk in a Maruti showroom saying you want to buy a Baleno and see the treatement. It would be in a different class all together read more...

Other cars I have driven in past and how it compares with Swift. I am not comparing the design, style and safety. I believe, currently, there isn't much of competition for Swift in design and style and very few competition for safety. Esteem Esteem has good acceleration but bad torque characte read more...
