I was excited on way to Maruti Dealer to have a look at ALL NEW SWIFT, and with the idea beaming that I am going to upgrade from Maruti-800 to Swift. Had dreamt it to be something amazing, having seen so many advertisements.
But to tell you the reality, as soon as I saw the demo vehicle, it all just evaporated.
First look of this all new Swift from either side, made me remember the vintage vehicles, with a huge fantom body and small glasses. Still as I had travelled to buy a car, so went ahead with the test drive alongwith my cousin, thinking maybe I am wrong. I was at the backseet, and the tall fellows in front had pushed their seats a bit backward, which left so little space that my legs literally cramped in that child-friendly space. I requested to make the test drive shorter, and had another look at the vehicle. But the measurements showed clearly that the huge car has hardly good enough space to be a four/five seater. And to add to my sorrow, a new customer of this all new Swift (on his first free service), was complaining of a low mileage @9 kms/ltr only. I personally found this vehicle an Ugly product from Maruti, and also thought that at times genius can also commit mistakes.
I still would say sorry to many other pro-Swift people, who might hate me for this review, but please do not mind, as everyone here has his personal feelings varying for various products.
Immediately without even discussing, we settled for sleek Maruti Esteem, which some of my other friends are already using and are fully satisfied. And now I am also very satisfied with my Esteem.
