After a month of debating between Swift and Getz, finally decided to buy Swift Vxi. the obvious choice was Red colour. After years of driving a WagonR, the Swift felt like a ship.The first thing that strikes you, is the seats, which actually hugs you and you feel very cosy in it. Only the Maruthi800 had those kind of seats in the past.The steering wheel is thick and comfortable. Acceleration is smooth. I drive for about 60-70kms a day. Last week was on East cost road to Mahabalipuram.
The car easily cruising at 120kmp. Some said the max speed was 160, but I dint try it, since the car was very new. will try that sometime later, when I have clocked enough kms.The mileage is a neat 14km per litre, consistently. after the first free service( actually they make u pay rs.750 for oil, so not free actually) also the milegae is the same. Basically if you change the gears properly as per the speed recomended in the manual book, your mileage will improve. since I am used to driving maruthi vehicles.
I am more or less used to the speeds. Actually you have to be in 5th gear by the time you touch 40kmph. its difficult in the begining, but u will get used to.the boot space is a little small, even compared to the wagonR, but comfortable enough.Enough space to keep your bottles, cups, coins, etc..On the whole, Lovely car, good mileage, very comfortable.
