I took the test drive of swift.
Car appears fine.
Requires proper gear shift when the car is slowed down. They have used lower engine to wheel rpm ratios and this is one of the reason for getting a better mileage.
I could feel the shocks when the car fell into pot holes and went up speed breakers. Suspension is not smooth.
Car looks to be spacy. With 5 feet height people sitting in the front, leg space in the back is roomy enough.
Sitting position for the person in the middle of the back seat looks painful as he has to keep legs wide apart or on the car frame bump.
Trunk space looks decent for a family to go places.
The waiting time as told by the dealer is 6 months. They dont commit on the delivery date when the vehicle is booked by paying Rs 50000.
If Maruthi Suzuki can come up with some plan to reduce this waiting time to one month they can sell more swift in the market. I hope Maruthi Suzuki want to sell multiples of 20, 000 swift within 2005 and not just 20, 000 swift.
