Awaz buhat he mild hai only heard if car is stationary and you turn the steering quickly, i actually like the sound whenever i hear it. I am sure most people dont even notice it. May be Wagon r has quality issues but it is the best quality car Pak suzuki has brought into the market, alto , cultus, khyber and margalla when new and even liana, Wagon r is of superior quality than all of thoes. I did not check swift so cant compare its quality with wagon r
