Suzuki Swift Owners Club

[imrankhan1984]

Dear all
I have recently switched from Vitz to Swift DLX with Navigation... i would highly appreciate if someone could recommend the necessary changes that i can make like air/vent viser, arm rest between the front seats etc... since i am from Lahore hence i would appreciate if someone could also kindly recommend a trustworthy place as well

Congratulations, BTW how does the change feel from Vitz to Swift? I think your feedback can help people who often have to chose between the two.

Dear Pakwheels,
I am planning to buy Suzuki Swift for my personal/office use, but I have few queries,

1. I have heard that its fuel mileage is not good? how to improve it? what is the true mileage?

For city drive normal is around 13kmpl but people here have achieved 15kmpl as well.

1. I am interested to but the baseline model DX so what colour I should buy that is easy to maintain and has resale?

White or silver but white will have much better resale.

1. What are the accessories I have to install when I get the car ? Recommended Shop in Rawalpindi/Islamabad?

Personal choice and previous experience should help but basics are floor mats, seat/steering covers. [/QUOTE]

1. Would you guys recommend this car; my travelling is 50 km daily to my office?

Yes

1. Lastly I have heard that Paksuzuki is launching New Wagon R , so should I go for that?

No comparison between the two, Swift is more powerful and has good if not the best build quality. Wagon R shape is bad (personal view), if you need a 1000cc car then also consider Santro which is quite popular among lady drivers.

congo on the new purchase....never kept or drove a vitz..but kept both city and swift...
city is more of an eco car..u wont get the sudden jerk on flooring..and the center of gravity is perfect..u wont slide from side to side while taking fast turns and ur avg wont go down with rash driving...

Swift on the other hand is more spacious then city ..the more u floor it the more it burns..get a cushion type arm rest made..and drive normally and u will get a good 14km/l avg..

[sumairaimran]

Thanks a friend of mine said that Swift does only 10km/l is it true, secondly can you recommend me the showroom in rawalpindi/islamabad from where i can done all these

I got a Maximum of 18km/L on Motorway with three persons in car.
16.15 km/L with 5 persons in car (AC 70% of the time was ON) on GT Road.
and 14 km/L urban mileage. I don't drive locally alot.

White

Footmats, Leather stitched steering cover, Leatherite Seats, Repaint the Side Mirrors and Door handles (if you are buying a DX), I think thats about it. you can get most of the stuff from showroom ( I think they have a combined package as well)

Depends on how much you like hatchbacks

Seriously????? Wagon-R???? It's ugly (heard it has great fuel mileage though).....................

[sumairaimran]

Thanks can you tell me is this true that Santro is relaunched with 2014 model, if i buy santro what will be its value if its production shutdown

In Islamabad/Rawalpindi, at least, I have observed that Santro has a market. People often have it as 2nd or 3rd car and they love it. Its value will be dictated by the market demand so if you are planning to keep it for about 2 years then theoretically you should be safe.

Wait until the launch of Wagon R (this Sunday) and then evaluate your options. Wagon R may be a good option offering fuel economy and resale value.

About the dealers in ISB/RWP, see the first post on the first page of this thread (also the first post on this page). It has list of recommended and not recommended dealers for major cities in Pakistan for Suzuki.

10 km/L is too low. His engine may require tunning or old spark plugs or tappets may be out of adjustment.

In rawalpindi you can get these things from Rawal Motors ( the one opposite to Toyota Rawal motors) (opposite to Baahria Phase VII)

My friend is looking for a second hand (preferably suzuki approved used) 2013 swift DX... What are the problems these cars can have?
I own a 2010 swift and i haven't had any issues.
However people on this forum have complained that the later models have faulty boot seals causing water to accumulate in the boot where the spare wheel is stored.
So this is the stuff he should check :
1. Signs of rust in spare wheel area
2. Complete maintenance history from suzuki dealership
3. Take his mechanic and check body for any dented / repainted parts.

Anything else?

[faiz.aslam.121]

That's about it I assume^

Take a drive on a bumpy road as well, Swift is not so good at those roads. Just make sure the car is mechanically fit, that's what bothers you in the long run! :). And raise the car on a jack/ramp and take a look underneath as well. Give my greetings to him!

Guys, i am regretting i bought a Swift. It's been 3 months and 3000 KMS and my swift dlx is giving me surprises every week.

Now, the latest issue being brake noise. There is a squeaky noise along with a noise of some part moving from the front wheels that comes whenever i apply brakes. This is irritating. I spent 1.3 million rupees on a car and this is what i got?

Has anyone experienced the same brake noise?

[faiz.aslam.121]

Is that during hard braking? ABS probably kicked in. Get them to do alignment and wheel balancing, that too for free as your car is new!
Get it checked from 3S as your car is in Warranty. Regarding the 1.3 million thingy, Welcome to Pakistan!

AC compressor grip came off within 2 days when I got my car, the doors leaked water( Slight alignment was needed), 3 speakers were messed up and that's about it. I love this car:)

[shaffs]

Yes it comes when i apply brakes hard! But it never came before! It's a new car. Is it normal?

Sometimes i think i should have gone for a Honda or some thing else instead of a Swift!

Sir ji you should be thankful that your car has ABS, might come handy in some situation!

Yes, it's normal! The ABS module has sensors located near each wheel. As soon as the Sensor notices that a tire is slipping when braking hard ( Emergency, Snow, Mud etc) it starts pumping your brakes for you- Gazzillion times each second.

Swift is a good car, it has all the goodies and is practical.

Once I was driving in a muddy place and ABS check light came on. I thought to myself " Ohh eff this, gotta spend an hour or so at 3S trying to get this fixed" as soon as I touched a proper road, the light came off. Alhamdulillah, with the help of Allah SWT and ABS brakes, I've avoided many donkeys suddenly appearing and what not!
