Thanks to all mouth shut reviewers, you all made me to take a decision to buy such a good car.
I took this car for gifting it to my Dad, he had a ZEN VX being a government employee (where he used office ambassodors) when ever I spoke to him there was a big "NO" for diesel cars reasons being there sound, starting trouble, bad pickup
which no one on earth can ever expect in his car. Finally after reading these reviews and from one of my closed friend who is using it for past 10 months made me to give him reasons everytime.
Finally when he agreed I found he was never happy untill the first week with the car.
Now, he never (he is that kind of) said anything but believe me he is damn happy .
The car gives a awesome mileage of 20km in city and 22 on highways.
This Diwali I was back to my native for the festival major reason being just to try out the new car.
We travelled some 1500 kms travelling Lucknow->Haridwar->Dehradun->Nainital->Lucknow
the mileage came around 22+ we never measured it but can easily say.
Now let me tell you about the performance believe me swift rocks
excellent pickup, very less sound almost not-audible (diesel engine ) I can say .
Now about the exteriors and interiors nothing to say as its in market with petrol so nothing new.
The best feature what I found was the AC just ON it any speed any gear it wont effect the engine unlike to the petrols one’s you wont come to know if you try to play around with the AC during driving.
Cooling again Awesome.
Though the cost is high (a bit) but can say just invest it once if you wanna live in a world free from high Petrol price and lesser mileage.
So finally where my dad use to spend 8000 per month over petrol he can manage with 3000 per month.
Only thing what I feel suggesting is buy it when you are driving more than 50km a day from the point of making your investment fruitful.
Cheers,
Jayesh
