Suzuki Swift DLX Automatic 1.3 Car Reviews

Over Swift 1.3 is a beautiful design and performs a lot better than so called other big names like Xli. We were apprehensive to buy automatic version but now after a month of use and over 1000 KM milage we are glad that we bought the automatic version.

The exterior is very elegant and has sporty look. We have the white color which I think looks pretty (personal view on color). The interior is fine although not luxurious. The car comes with immobiliser and has factory fitted Bridgestone tyres and Alloy Rims save you at least 40 to 50K when you buy City or Xli. The Alpine stereo system is nice and is adequate for daily use.

The performance of Swift is excellent, great pickup, and stability even a high speeds. The breaks are super responsive and have ABS which Xli lacks. I'm getting 14kmpl easily with RPMs around 2000 to 2200. If you drive it steady and not like u are driving on a race track, you can get great performance.
ONE HAPPY DRIVER HERE!

Exterior: The overall look is great

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): Has excellent set of features, lots of buttons, everything automatic. Pak Suzuki however (compared to the international version) has removed ABS, indicator lamps from the side mirrors, Outside Temperature reading and Estimated Mileage reading from the Pakistani version of Swift.

Fuel Economy: 12 KMPL

Ride Quality & Handling: Ride quality is horrible on bumpy/damaged roads. Pak Suzuki is not fully doing there job when it comes to finishing. They probably don't even do a drive test before the car is made ready for delivery. You can spot a thousand problems in their brand new car, mostly mechanical issues. The inside of the doors are bare metal without any padding of sound absorbing materials etc. So they vibrate when you crank the volume up on your sound system. Also on bumps the ride gets too noisy. On smooth roads however the cabin is pretty quiet. Suspension is hard, but that gives you the advantage of good braking and good handling.

Final Words: It is for sure a lovable car. You can really feel the thrust with which the car moves when you push the accelerator all the way down. One reviewer mentioned that the car doesn't move above 120KMPH but this is because he couldn't really push the accelerator further down. I'm not sure whether this is a feature or not but accelerator pushes very easily until a point. Beyond that point you need to press it quite harder and that is the point when the car actually goes above 120KMPH. Build quality sucks big time, but the engine doesn't. I'm really enjoying my ride.

I have sold my vitz 2010 model and switch to Suzuki Swift 2012. Initially when I got the car it was horrible in fuel consumption. Build quality is fine but not like VITZ.

Problem: The body paint is of very bad quality and badly done, so silver and white color are preferable, in a zero meter car it is full of noises coming from interior and dashboard. Rear sears are not comfortable, low visibility and difficult to park in tight places.

Plus Points: After 5000km 2nd inspection the car is superb , great fuel consumption on petrol and GAS, 15km - 16km on petrol in city without A/C, and 220km on Gas with 55L cylinder without A/c,

Pick on gas is awesome even thought my car is automatic but there is no pickup issue. All sounds that are coming form interior are removed by Suzuki people at 1st and 2nd inspection for free.

Had a great day with my Suzuki Swift at Suzuki Workshop for Second Inspection 5000km
