Suzuki Swift Car Reviews

Mine arrived six months back and I must say I am disappointed. Yes disappointed at manufacturers like Toyota, Honda and the likes. The Swift turns out to be a direct and ruthlessly angry stare in the eyes of the other 1.3 liter counterparts.
Positives of swift are certainly a lot more than the Negatives. For Instance the Alloy wheels, Imported Tires, Power/window-mirror-steering, and the worthiest mention ABS add great value to the overall package that one pays for.

Mine arrived six months back and I must say I am disappointed. Yes disappointed at manufacturers like Toyota, Honda and the likes. The Swift turns out to be a direct and ruthlessly angry stare in the eyes of the other 1.3 liter counterparts.
Positives of swift are certainly a lot more than the Negatives. For Instance the Alloy wheels, Imported Tires, Power/window-mirror-steering, and the worthiest mention ABS add great value to the overall package that one pays for. A relatively decent sound system with only one downside (The speakers buzz at high bass levels, obviously on high volumes). The car overall pays-off fairly well given the amount spent.
Before i forget to assert on the ridiculous mileage, let me just add that the kind of power swift delivers would certainly bear a price tag that comes in the form of high fuel consumption. But then again the power delivered through the 1.3 liter mechanical piece of art justifies that to a great extent. I have managed to attain a 10km/l mark within the city, which is decent. Fill the tank and a one-side sprint on motorway can be done in a little more than half a tank equating it to around 18km/l.
I have had a chance to manage a pocketful of road tickets on motorway for speeding, but my toe just wouldn’t ease without flooring the gas pedal. Crank it, kill it and knock the 175 km/h barrier fairly easily. And by the way I love doing that. I heard
Great work Suzuki. Simply love it. less

Got mine in the 1st week of January. Since it was the first Suzuki in the family, I was a little skeptical on how things would turn out.
The first 500kms have been alhamdulillah satisfying. The fuel average that I got (that's after the 1st refilling of the tank) is 12.98 km/l. I've seen people saying it doesn't give more than 9-10 initially but 12.98 is what I got. This includes extra urban (traffic jams) as well as straight roads mostly with no a/c since it’s winter.

The new integrated in-dash is a nice touch. The volume knob is so easy to operate just like the one in the Vti-Oriel. Since mine is to be used as a second car (self use only with primary commuting to office and home), I was initially planning for the DX version but the additional 100 grand it worth the dough. Keyless entry is a must and so is ABS and Alloys ad a little glamour to the overall silhouette of the body.
If budget is not a problem, the DLX is the one to go for. Nonetheless, Suzuki should be commended to provide basic amenities like PW and Central locking in the base version. Not to mention imported tyres too.
Things I don’t like
There is no assist grip for the driver and there are no jacket hangers at the rear assist grips. The steering despite being electrically assisted feels a like heavier than my steermatic’s. And it isn’t as precise either. Legroom at the rear is virtually non-existent and people with families should look at other options too.
Overall a nice package and good value for money.

Bought new swift 3 months ago, i had driven my 3 hondas from 2000 to 2011, before that i was having a suzuki mehran 1997-2000, now i am back to suzuki, just because i compared its fuel consumption to my civic 92 d15b auto CNG, in city its petrol average is as same as my cng honda, and on long routs its 150%, for example i travelled sialkot to lahore on civic on cng in RS 600/- and on swift it consumes petrol of Rs 900/- i dont think its a big difference, only one thing, trunk matters, but i dont think after installing cng trunk remains "cabi... more

Bought a silver Dlx yesterday and i must say, Paksuzuki has done a great job to ensure good quality. The driving pleasue is immense. A noise-free cabin, good road grip, excellent pick-up, good handling and comfortable seating makes swift an instant hit as far as i am concerned. Can't say much about the fuel economy as yet. The braking isn't as good as as i was hoping.
I have a 09 city and a 10 corolla gli but with both the cars lacking alloy wheels, Japanese tires, key-less entry, fog lamps and a quality cd/mp3 players, Swift is a cle... more

The story narrated by ahmedhassan1 seems to be a dream or fantasy as it is absolutely impossible to drive 700+ km in only 42 litres and that too with AC. hmhmhmh. Average consumption cannot be more than 6-8 km per litre with ac at the most.
As far as shape is concerned, it is not attractive. Rear side is made in such a way that it gives look of a frog.
Secondly, it is not load bearing. Means if four normal person sit in it, the body almost starts touching the rear wheel. No room for luggage. If a CNG cylinder is installed, then 3-4... more

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 you are ... 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. less
