New or Used Swift - help me decide

[faiz.aslam.121]

Btw- @OP, I used to get 11.5/12km/l with AC when my Swift was only urrm 1500 KM driven, since I went to Islamabad and did a Tank 2 Tank measure.

I read it is not supposed to give a good KM/L until it has crossed 10K mileage. But a guy above with 35K on the ODO is also saying he gets 12/13 KMPL so there isn't much difference.

Yaar, tu karda ki we???? I have never achieved more than 17 and that too hypermiling and keeping car under 85km/h.
Do tell us-
Engine oil
What filter
Tire air pressure
When you change gears ( at what RPM's )
If AC was on
passengers.

Please! I beg you lol

Do you get this 17 inside city or on highway?

I used to get 17km/l on Highway. Without AC.
In city- 14 with AC and 15 without. It really depends on how I drive, tbh.
I hypermile a lot!
Uncle style- Good average.
Need to get to a place ASAP- 12-13.

One tire needs to get repaired- it has a puncture. I refill it with air every day, from 14-16 PSI to 31 lol- The rear one.
That performs the fuel efficiency as well.

14 with AC and 15 without AC seems reasonable for a 1300 CC car. I wonder why @imran2006g is not being able to get more than 12KM/L.

I drive in Faisalabad- I always try to use Canal Road, I have to brake very few times. And, I go easy on the brakes. I rather just coast in Gear, rather than hard braking at the last moment.

I change gears at 2500 RPM. I use Thin oil- 5w40. I usually keep tire pressure @ 34 front and 31 rear.

i was coming back from multan. MianChannu reserve light were on. near was Shell pump. tank full and after for checking i use soft foot and 99.50% travel on 5th gear. speed maintain at 100 KMPH and results is in front of all of you
by the way How's that ?
Br

i have gone beyond this...:D...78kms..

[FarhanAnwarKhan]

i have kept both city and swift...if u want a good avg go for city..floor or no floor u will get 14km/l...swift drinks alot if u abuse drive it..but at the time of selling city .that too which i kept for 3-5months it took me 2 months just to sell it...bad resale as people still tend to buy corolla and suzuki...and swift has a great resale.....

I have a short trip to the office. 4-5km either side. Driving shorter distances with frequent gear changes decreases the fuel average IMHO. Longer distances with less frequent gear changes are better. The 12 km/ltr is an average, there is always a margin of error even if it is the onboard computer showing the fuel average. There is also the factor of wanting to have fun; the M13A is one small and happy motor :). I use 10w-40.

I really don't mind a small car (Swift). I think the space and size and everything is fine for me. I have never owned a Suzuki. I just don't want to feel like I'm in a Mehran when I drive Swift. I don't think that will be the case, will it? Seems like City has a better fuel consumption than a Swift - and I don't like this fact as I will most likely be going for a Swift Most people I talked to, including the people who posted above, say "Swift petrol peeti hai". But if I get 14 with AC and 15 without AC, I think it will be okay. @imran2006g, yes you are right - shorter trips do increase fuel consumption. My daily trips are also short. The main Islamabad is quite small and you need to change gears often. You can hardly drive for 2-3 minutes at the speed of 80 KM/H - 100 KM/H before the next traffic light. I usually drive slow (60 - 70 KM/H) and try to change gears under 2.5 RPM. Only occasionally drive fast when I'm in a hurry or in the mood for some fun. My main priority is fuel consumption but I don't want to go for JDM 660CCs or Mehran or Cultus. In my budget (11-12 lac), Swift seems like the best option to me. Automatic transmission is a deal breaker for me so I'm not looking at JDMs.

I also have to look at the resale factor because I do plan to sell it in max two years. And I don't want to lose money on it when I sell it.

You can hypermile in Islamabad as well- When you know that the light will turn red- Release Race Pedal and coast. Just make sure you are not blocking the fast lane, whenever I travel to Twin Cities- I stay in the lane next to fast lane and keep speed at 80 km/h.
By the time I reach the red light, it has already turned green.

[sunain]

well bro used swift is a good option in ur budget.

I can't actually know when the light will turn red. 98% of the lights do not have timers. So whenever I see a green, instead of releasing the race (as you said), I go full throttle in hopes of crossing before the light changes

Oh my god. Itna bi na karo yar :D. Theek hai it is from Suzuki but you cannot put Mehran and Swift in the same category lol. Have you test driven someone elses Swift?

DO NOT DO THIS. Matter of time before some guy on a bike/car at the other signal guns it on red and you T-Bone each other; resulting in a fatal crash. Always slow down as you approach a junction. Wont matter if you arrive safely at your destination 5 minutes late. Better than not arriving.

That's what I wanted to hear. Because Mehran jese 7 lac ke junkyard se tau Allah bachaye. No doubt it is very good with fuel consumption but everything else is below average. No, I haven't driven a Swift. Sat in a Swift only once but never drove it. No one in my friends circle has it so the chances of a test drive before I buy it are pretty slim.

Yeah, I try to be careful with that. I do cross slow and carefully at the junctions. Just speed up to get to the light. But you are absolutely right about what you said.

Mehran is a gas guzzler. A puny; outdated 800cc engine giving less mileage than a modern 1300cc engine.
About the Swift. You wont regret it. I'm still having fun after having put more than 20K kms on mine in a year

Two of my close friends have Mehran. 2012 and 2014 models. They get EXCELLENT consumption. Both are getting roughly 18 - 19 KM/L. Don't know why you called it a gas guzzler but this is some excellent consumption.

The only concern I have right now for the Swift is the consumption. I'm good with 14 with AC and 15 without AC (as someone above said they are getting) but 11-12 KM/L isn't impressive

Do you have CNG? Any idea about how it performs on CNG?

[StrikerX]

Fuel history of our swift since day 1.

P.s car's mileage is improving as the engine is >5k km driven now.

I meant to ask how the consumption is on CNG. How many KMs on a full cylinder (with and without AC)?

He never bothered to check its fuel average
