Suzuki Swift DLX 1.3 Car Reviews

When I first bought this car, it gave me few problems:
- Brakes were a little loose
- Clutch was too tight
- Fuel consumption was too high
- trunk

Then a year later car had an accident and front was totaled.
It took a lakh to fix the car, which was cheap, and car looked exactly like it was new.

It was after the accident that I noticed that the fuel consumption was much much better. I think the work on the CVT transmission may have made the fuel consumption better, and provided a much speed and control of the car.

Even before the accident the car was giving a soundless drive with good suspension. I would recommend this car to bachelors, and those who want a 1 up of Cultus, otherwise spend a little more and get a xli if you can afford it.

Exterior of the car is eye candy. Sporty, compact and smooth. Headlights, fog lights and rear lights all compliment the sporty appearance very much.
Interior wise nothing out of the ordinary but it sure gives a solid and secure feeling to the driver and passengers. With a bit of chrome here and there it does give you a good feeling to be sitting in Swift. Sound system is awesome!
Fuel economy is poor, as a result this car loses its charm.
It has good handling and can reach high speeds in a fraction of time, ABS compliments it as well.
Final word: If fuel economy is not a point of consideration for you then its worth it to enjoy the fun of a Swift. Otherwise, I won't recommend investing nearly 13 lacs in such a car ;)

Suzuki Swift is Better on value than corolla, i bought this car in October, new it was, and still is 450 Km on ODO and guess what it gives a " 14.65 kmpl " in 2-3k rpm. ac is excellent, just in 5 minutes i satrt shivering with a 36 deg on temp i found it hard to keep my hands on steering which was directly in line with ac ventthis cars features are better than corolla well ofcourse drive is not that better than corolla, but the actual value one get from it is!. final cost of it was 14 lac, i also considered corolla but i'm more into actual value of product rather than some resale value of a crappy "KHATTOLA"
the plastic quality is the same as that of a corolla, comes with ABS EBD, central locking power windows alpine sound system alloyrims color door handles etc, hence everything what a near cost corolla lacks, remember that when i bought it this car cost me 14 lac where as a equivalent corolla would have cost me 19 lac. which is just being insane for a useless boot.

Swift is a very spacious Car from the inside. The seat are very stiff and not at all soft and comfortable. Dash board is nice to look at but material used is cheap. Good number of features for the price (Keyless Entry, ABS, Power Windows and Side View Mirrors)
ted.
Ride Quality & Handling is EXCELLENT! 0-60 kph acceleration is wonderful. Brakes feel a little hollow and not very powerful and the steering is very stiff despite being powered. Road grip is very nice as well as cornering. Compared to Corolla runs better but the brakes aernt impressive and the steering is very hard. Shifting gears is also not very smooth and the gear stick tends to get stuck oftentimes.

People who come on Swift after driving cars like Cultus, Mehran, Alto always say that swift is a perfect car.

My cousin came on Swift after Mehran and he always admire the Swift by saying that swift is as comfortable as Accord and as powerful as Gli.

But how can a Mehran user say such words? Because Mehran does not satisfy definition of car.

I came on Swift after City (on advise of my Mehran user cousin) and I was shocked because Swift is far low quality car as compared to City.

Only exterior metal quality and engine can be compared with City But Seats, Interior plastic and suspensions are far lower in quality than City.

My Swift's interior started to give tick tick noise only after 12000km. Tick Tick noise come from every door and in amplifies on bumpy roads.

Seats are not comfortable as compared to City or Gli.

Interior plastic is very very low quality if compared with City.

Exterior: Stylish. Could have been better though. But over all, a good decent look.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): Excellent interior in it's category. Spacious, good quality plastics used and comfortable seats. Very beautiful silver built-in music system's dashboard.

Fuel Economy: This is probably the ONLY con of this car. Fuel-wise it's not as efficient as a city or vitz. However, this also depends on the driving style.

Ride Quality & Handling: Amazing road grip. Superb acceleration. Really feels like the seat slipping from under you. No car can catch up to it. Not sure about the new Aspire 1.5 - but all the 1.3 cars were never up to the challenge of speed posed by this little beast.

Final Words: This is one of the best cars to be rolled out of the PS assembly factory yet. The build quality is as good as a Civic (if not better). I can say that because I also own a Civic 2013.
I have driven this Swift very rashly as well, taking it to far fledged areas of Punjab - but it's smoothness in the drive was never compromised. My advice to people who are considering to buy a 1300CC car - go for a Swift - an excellent ride for urban to sub-urban dwellers. Even though I am myself a Honda fan, I would recommend this Swift over a City (unless you want to go an extra mile and get the Aspire 1.5 which is a total waste of money because a few more bucks will get you an Altis - a far better car than Aspire). City's suspension is the worst ever - Swift is a very good car and can fit in many different roles - a first car for a young professional, a first car for a young couple or a small family, a second car for a upper-middle class family, etc
