Okay choice

Driving experience was not up to mark as we compared with Tata Tiago, Maruti and other entry-level car. Internal space was very good however build quality is not up to mark and not safe car for highway drive

Swift Dzire Lxi - Fulfilling motoring desires!

<p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Exterior</strong>&nbsp;Exteriors are nicely done. Rear windscreen should be more broader to ensure good visibility while reversing.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Interior (Features, Space &amp; Comfort)</strong>&nbsp;Lxi does not come with much exciting features, you can get all bells and whistles fitted at the agency or outside but be careful of warranty issues! Space is good. Family of four is an ideal for the car but it sucks up 5 people pretty easily. Comfort is good but not excellent. You can feel&nbsp;discomfort while driving fully loaded with boot space consumed and 4 persons on board.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox</strong>&nbsp;Engine is refined and ensures good response at all speeds, though i personally feel that power is bit low when we are having a/c on.</p> <p>Fuel economy is close to 11-12 km/ltr as car has done only 100 + kilometeres only as of now. It would go up surely but we should not expect much from big cars.</p> <p>Gearbox is fine with slight problem in engaging reverse gear, may be its new thats why. Otherwise its swift and having smaller gear shifts.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Ride Quality &amp; Handling</strong>&nbsp;Ride Quality is good but not class leading.&nbsp; You can feel pot holes and bumps passed on to cabin. Handling is good, its not a sports car so we have to be nice to the car and it reciprocates the same.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Final Words</strong>&nbsp;Go for it if you are a maruti fan. Car is good for a family and not for performance enthusiastics. Do consider other cars falling in same segment. I opted for it because my monthly driving never exceeds 700-800 kms and I have been driving maruti suzuki cars only so it could be an emotional thing also. Other car companies are also having wonderful product offerings these days with good service back up so one can always consider them.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Areas of improvement</strong>&nbsp;I am no technical guy but I feel that power should be more for this car.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>Fuel Economy, Good After Sales Service, Resale Value, StyleNone
