How come a M13A engine in Liana is a flop whereas same Engine in swift is a hit.. Hippocratic thoughts are these... :S

Different intake, different gear ratios and final drive ratio, different engine management. Also, liana has to haul more weight. M13 was originaly designed for swift, it is an adaptation for liana, which is not as good as it should be.

Butt still, How come Suzuki Swift can be a great machine if its not fuel efficient..!! A luxury car if back seats are not that spacious...!!! no need of a trunk to rate as one is not on a road trip every time to have his clothes & food filled up..!!

Rest is not important if car is not fuel efficient & comfort level is not high..!! :S

If u need a hatchback, swift is good, if u need a sedan. Swift does not suit you. How hard is that?

this car has been in the family for 1 and a half years, still going great... the mileage is around 13kms/l in the city. its acceleration is addictive and i am sure that i can achieve a better mileage if i dont rev it that much.

the color has started to fade from the cd player, gear knob and power windows buttons...

Yes, the colour is fading for me to, but no problem, the ride and comfort compensates it.

FYI: Definite proof that Swift has an immobilizer.

no, i haven't

omar_575 (omar_575) 2012-03-22 06:19:04 +0500 #114

the tyres are a real bother. i have no idea why this is happening. these are factory fitted bridgestone turanzas (185/60R15) and it always seems as if the tyres have less air. i get em checked almost once every week and there is always 3-4 psi less. sometimes there is a puncture but we have never faced such a problem on our other cars (2002 civic and 2005 civic)

the picture is not clear but those who own a swift might understand.

omar_575 (omar_575) 2012-03-22 06:20:39 +0500 #115

i just love the odometer.

Omar, the tyre pressure is dependant on how you load the car, the optimal tyre presser is mentioned on the driver side door.

I keep my tyres at 33PSI (all four) as I drive with 2~3 adults and one infant, check them every week and its consistent, maybe because the car is just 3 months old?

What PSI do you keep your tyres on?

omar_575 (omar_575) 2012-03-22 06:48:02 +0500 #117

30psi (all four). car usually has 3 adults. i just remembered that a petrol station tyre check up booth wala ruined one of the tyres by telling my mother that it had ten punctures.. as she thought that its possible (the car went regularly thru the ring road which was not completed and hence had a lot of debris on the road) he fixed the punctures. later we were told that the tyre booth wala at that specific petrol station is a fraud and does it to everyone, those who know about it escape and those who have no idea get atleast 5 punctures and thus get their tyres ruined.

i recently went to a tyre wala ( a good one )who told me that i should get the tyre "patched" rather than get the traditional puncture.

the car will be 2 years old in june and we'll get the tyres changed. this time i'll make sure that no puncture wala ruins them.

omar_575 (omar_575) 2012-03-22 06:52:10 +0500 #118

but thats just one of the tyres. the rest weren't handled by him. but they too lose pressure quicker than our other cars.

Bro the ideal pressure for four people is 33PSI front and 36(or is it 38)PSI back, check the instructions on the driver side door, you've been putting the tire below the recommended PSI.

Will you believe? the same thing happened to us? a punturewala told my mom that the tyre is puncture and he 'fixed' it. As soon as I heard I took the car got the tyre open again and thoroughly inspected it, thank God it was well.

omar_575 (omar_575) 2012-03-22 06:57:32 +0500 #120

oh god... thanks bro... no wonder the pressure seems "low" in all tyres.
