Personally, I think that the new swift has been really hyped. There was a huge gap in demand and supply and we customers have had to wait for prolonged periods for the car.
Funny enough after the launch of the new version, I think the older version was far better looking. The performance of the new model is better but the looks of the old one were far sweeter. The rear of the car is specifically less pleasing than its earlier ancestors with a rather kicked in boot.
Overall, not a very good decision of Maruti to remodel what is already a very good car.
