Hi. Got my Swift 7 mths back. Think this is the right time to provide review:-)
Backgound to my Buy : I wanted a car which was to fit into my budget of 5 lakhs but I always wanted a spacious and powerful car. Thus, when I went about shopping for a new car, I came to know that Suzuki was to explode a new model in the Indian market. That was end-2004. Thus I waited for about 6 mths to get hold of this vehicle. And boy-o-boy ... am I satisfied :-)
Pros : The car is very peppy & responsive, esp to city driving. It gives very good mileage - 13.5kmpl. I use BP-Speed though. Maintenance has been nil so far. Best part is the height of the car - it is better than Wagon-R but is strrets ahead in terms of its sci-fi looks; so it scores heavily both ways in terms of the feel-good factor of the owner !
Cons : Flipside is the low ground clearance. Rather I can also blame the unshapely spd-brkrs that our cities possess. Also, the engine power goes for a toss at 1st/2nd gear when A/C is turned on.
Overall : FUNTASTIC ... Best small car with big car features at an amazing price !!!
