Suzuki Swift 1.3 DX Rating

suzuki has released a very nice machine for first time, that is swift. it has got style, engine is powerful, cabin is comfortable and quiet and a good AC, overall its a nice package. but compared to popular belief i want to clarify my brothers here that suzuki swift DX is not that awsome as it seems, against popular belief, it does not have keyless entry (after spending 12lac you dont even have this basic option), no ABS breaks, door knobs and side mirrors are black no matter what color your car is (imagine 12lac bucks spent and this!). n... more

style is good,superior to all small cars available in paksitan i.e vitz and cultus etc.

comfort...my personal experience is that this car is very comfortable for all but not for driver.no doubt that very large space and a lot off adjustables are available for driver but i tired too much when i drove it 970 kms in two days.two persons were available for this long drive but still we tired too much and it was not a good experince.we covered this same long route on coure also.and coure is a small car but we were quite fresh with long ... more

performance is very good,ac is very good,on petrol max speed 165 km with zero vibration.engine temp gauge always remains on same position in all conditions i.e as weather, speed, load, road condition etc..even after 12000 km i have no need to add water for engine cooling.its still factory filled fluid in the tank with same level as at time of delivery.

value of money.....what i can say about that i bought brand new and with documents it cost me in 11 lacs..and now after 6 months the available show room price is 11.5 and if i think that if i try to sale it and i can recover my whole amount.

fuel economy.....after my a lots off calculations and observations, i found that it cost me 7.5 rupees per km(if petrol 106/litre)...dont forget that in this price u enjoy a chilled a.c, power steering, power break,and power windows.

over all......on petrol if u can afford,its is the best in small cars.

my personal experience.....

if u are fully loaded ( 5 passengers) it can hit even with those speed breakers also from where u have crossed smoothly before

.....back mirror range area is very small as compare to other cars,this can tease u if u depends frequently on back mirror
.....there is a small antena on the roof made up with soft rubber alike material.it tease u when u cover the car with a normal canvas cover.if u dont have a suitable hole in cover then with the weight of cover, antena tends to bent slowly in banana shape which does not look beautiful.

we are driving the car from the start of the year 2012
it is a good car as compare to the rest of Suzuki models available in Pakistan.
Engine sounds good, stylish exterior and beautiful interior, road grip is very good overall its a good Looking car.
Now come to my personal experience, this car have some serious issues which i would like to share with you guys.
1.Engine knocks a bit every time you shift from 2nd to 3rd and so on.
2.Poor visibility for the driver.
3.With 4 normal passengers including dr... more

1.Engine knocks a bit every time you shift from 2nd to 3rd and so on.
2.Poor visibility for the driver.
3.With 4 normal passengers including driver its performance is just like cultus efi cng, and even worse if you turn on the Ac.
4.The car's rear suspension is not good for Pakistani roads where you got a speed breakers(lakk(qmar in urdu) breaker) unexpectedly,and believe me it hurts when its struck with the speed beaker.
I recommend those who are willing to buy this car,Its not a wise decision and do'nt go for its looks only!

If you are looking for luxury in a small package, this car is for you.
Engine size is large and power to weight ratio is excellent. That is why even in Lahore heat and humidity, the AC cooling remains effective and pick is not affected by AC.
Small goodies that add up to a lot include japanese tyres, jvc cd player, cup-holders, central locking, electronic keys (ignition impossible without original keys), powerful blower in the AC, good-sized boot (one standard size luggage item can stand in the same space, comparable to what y... more

Fuel economy is excellent. With a mix of motorway driving (120 constant, overtaking >130) and city driving, I am getting over 13kms on a litre. No vibrations in cabin etc till 150km/hr.
Excellent value for money considering that for a similar price you only get a refurbished vitz with 300cc less engine or a 2 year driven city, which will start mechanical trouble in an year of use.
