Its been more than a month since I brought my Swift Diesel LDI from Pratham Motors, Bangalore and now I am very happy and satisfied customer of both Maruti and Pratham. Pratham Motors did an excellent job right from beginning.
Now about the car, the drive quality, handling, pick up, milieage is simply great, I found the car handles very well in mad Bangalore traffic, its difficult to believe that its a diesel car as the noice level is almost like a petrol vehicle, hardly any vibrations, often I felt engine stopped and when I moved the steering(Power Steering) realised that engine is running.
Its very dangerous to drive the car on higways as simply zooms ahead like a racing car and leaves every body behind, it crosses 160 km/hr in no time , if one is bit hypersensitive/hypertensive or hyperactive I would encourage caution and care, the power of the engine is that tempting, trust me. I am sure one would definitely come to know about it, but I suggest exercise caution and use common sense and dont forget seat belts.
I have found the plastics inside the car, space for the passengers and boot is very disappointing, gear handling is bit hard may be after couple of services it would be ok. Over all an excellent buy, VFM.
