When I bought the new Swift in August 2010, I was disappointed with its fuel consumption. First 5-10 tanks just disappeared.

It would simply refuse to give me anything more than 220-250 Km in a tank. [5-6Km/L] It was a horrific experience. At 1000Km mark, got the tuning done. The average was still the same .. horrible!

But without doing anything, the average kept improving. By the time it had done 4000Km, I was getting 430-440 Km in a tank in the city. And every time on refueling it takes 39 liters to fill up the tank. Means when I refuel, there is always 4 liters of petrol still in the tank. So basically I am getting 430-440Km in 39 liters within city. That’s pretty neat.

Suzuki recommended that it doesn't need an oil change till it has done 5000Km. And since this car is very sparingly used, it took 7 months until it was ready for its OIL/FILTER change. So they changed the oil (ZIC) and oil filter and said everything else is fine.

Luckily I had to go to Islamabad so I decided to take this little monster on the highway to see how it performs in terms of fuel consumption. Filled it up, again as usual 39L.

We took the motorway. Tried to keep the RPM at or below 3. With the Swift, it’s easily possible to drive at 100-110Km/h with the RPM comfortably below 3. Since it’s gotten pretty hot for the road, used the A/C throughout. To my surprise, we reached Islamabad, attended a wedding in Pindi, went back to Islamabad and next morning came back to Lahore via GT Road. All in ONE tank only. It was simply unbelievable. Back to back, we drove 728 kilometers with A/C in a single tank. And yes, when I refueled again at home it did take 39L only … which is funny. :o)

VERDICT:

Fuel Consumption Average
City = 11.15 Km/L
Highway = 18.66 Km/L

I have had purchased an Alto CNG VXR in August 2005. Changed the Rims to 13" with new Tyres. Even then it had the worst braking and road grip. Slightly better than Mehran in comfort, but NOT value for money. Two of people I know, having Alto, faced accidents, pretty bad, due to braking and road grip. Fuel economy is Good. It consumes slightly more than Mehran, still very good for a 970 cc engine. Engine is old and gets very noisy when u drive it for more than 25000 km. Parts are also very expensive, you can ask your dealer about it, as compared to Mehran. I DONT SUGGEST BUYING IT.

I own a 2010 Nissan Sunny 1.6L M/T for just over a year now & has found it to be a beautiful driving experience. This car is superb on the road, giving u a comfortable driving pleasure that is near difficult to find among locally manufactured vehicles. With 1600cc TwinCam 4valve engine, it performs much better than any of its competition. Also, it is the best available car in its price range with Toyota Altis, Honda Civic & Chevrolet Optra costing approx. 2 or 3 hundred thousand extra whereas Honda City, Toyota Corolla Gli & Xli, Mitsubishi Lancer are underpowered.
Only negative aspect of the car comes at the point of selling and that too due to bad or no proper marketing of the Nissan Brand by the Gandhara-Nissan Motors. But, with this cars' overall performance package, it gives you your money's worth to the dime.

Bought a GLi back in September 2009, and my humble advise to anyone reading this and interested in a 1.3 Corolla is that DO NOT WASTE MORE THAN A MILLION RUPEES ON XLi..

Coming back to the GLi, its a good car over all.. i was very surprised by the excellent fuel economy on petrol.. especially without the AC in winters, one tank is more than enough for a long time..

The only thing i dont like about the GLi is the fact that its underpowered. with a body size this big and having just a small engine of 1300cc is an issue.. then again to some people it may not be an issue but to me it is..

this is why i have decided to sell off my GLi and get myself the Altis.. Otherwise, the new corolla is worth your money (but not the XLi !!)..

i was finding 2nd car which is economical and low maintenance cost, so i got Suzuki Alto , ill go with pros and cons of car(as up till now with my experience of car)

Pros:
Spare Parts are really cheap
Maintenance cost is almost same as of Mehran
Excellent Road Grip (Got 13" Alloy Rims with Dunlop Tyres)
Brakes are Excellent
Preety Chill A/C,
Quality of Car is really Good(interior and exterior)

Cons:
I am getting low Mileage on CNG(might bi i m new to it and driving in city) avg 120-130kms/cylinder
Engine is very Noisy
Very sensitive Electronic System
Suspension is pretty Hard (1st and 2nd gear) rest are very smooth

Over All really very good Car , i think that Alto should be preferred over Core , Sentro , Mehran
, you can say its 2nd Mehran with really improvements :D

This car shows how Japanese manufacturers are taking advantage of our nation's technical ignorance. Despite being a very rich country, they are delivering this car in their country with very smart engine, its average on petrol is 4.2 L / 100km. And in Pakistan they are delivering it with 80's potohar carburetor engine with average 6 L /100 km on petrol. In city it becomes worse as 10L/100km. Thats why Japanese manufacturers never mention fuel consumption in their specs. However, we are thankful to them at-least they are providing us cars that run on our bumpy roads for years.
This car would be my first choice to buy if provided with Suzuki's latest K6A 660cc engine. So that I can happily drive it on petrol in CNG shortage periods. And will be good replacement for my old Mehran.

Seems to be a good spacious car among competetors but cann't understand why it is not papular. If any user can specify its qualities it will sure help others to think about it ........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
