Hello friends,
This is first time, I am writing review on this site. I booked my Swift LDI in april & got the delivery on Oct 2nd, 2011.
Plus points- Interior has improved a lot as compared with its ancestor, plastic quality is also now gives rich look
The dashboard gives you a feeling of more big car
Inside its spacious, especially rear passenger have plenty of leg space & head space.the hand holding handles in the rear have been fitted now at proper place & distance.( in old swift it used to touch your head while the car jumps in potholes)
A.C vents are ordinary, could have been more impressive while AC is cool.
Power steering is very smooth & gives good handling in city traffic( I have not gone on highways yet, just driven 200 odd Kms).
The display panel is more informative, it has watch, Km reading, trip meter, current real time mileage, overall mileage, balance km which can be travelled with the given diesel in the tank.
The average till date is 12-13 KMPL.( my driving is in very hectic traffic).the dealer says average will improve after 1000 km(first service) while the company catalouge says it will stabilise after 3000 km.
On the exterior, the bonnet lines have been more emphasized(like in ritz) if you compare carefully with old swift.front lights are now more bold, the body curves have been now more sharp.& the rear is totally changed.it resembles i20 or some compare it with bit A-star.anyways they are fantastic.Car is good value for money.
Boot space is little disaapointment.rest I will update on my further observation.
