Swift Vdi after 4000 km

I chose this car after going through multiple test drives of several second hand and Brand  
 New cars 
based on test drive experience, product features, market feedback and finance options. I was lucky to get delivery within 3 days, as most people wait for upto 8 weeks to get delivery of their desired color. This car was just waiting there for me it seems :). The dealership staff were most friendly in the whole interaction, which is a cut above both Ford and Tata Dealerships. The only other car company with a comparable dealership staff is Hyundai. I initially went there for a second hand car (True Value), but I ended up buying a new car. It was only because of the way the staff treated me, be it in test drives, financing or any other step of the process, that I changed my decision. Even though True Value and New Car sales staff are separate, I did not experience any kind of trouble in terms of ill feelings amongst the staff etc.

From day 1, I found the car to be a great performer.My first highway drive experience was from Bangalore to Melukote, which was wonderful. After this, I have also taken the car to Bangalore-Tirupathi-Chennai-Bangalore, which was also a wonderful experience. My uncle, who has driven several vehicles was also all praise for it’s silent cabin and highway performance.

You can hardly even feel this car go to 120 km/h on the highway. With minimum fuss, it keeps eating up the kilometres on the highway. It is one of the best cars in it’s class, if not the best.

On cons, nothing much that you don’t find with other cars:
1. Less space in the back seat than in the Indica Vista. But I don’t really mind as it is mostly only me and my wife, and very rarely someone in the back seat. It is still not too bad, since I myself sat in the back seat from Tirupathi to Chennai (160 km) and did not feel any discomfort. Maruti only need to redesign the gearshift console a little (reduce the amount of the console jutting into the back seat to make it more comfortable.
2. Reverse gear falls very reluctantly half the time. I find this very frustrating at times.

Service-wise, Maruti is great. When I gave the car for the first service, I was called once the service was completed and asked to take delivery. A person from the Maruti Call Center called me the next day to ask how the service was and how the car is performing. Then someone called me after 10 days to again ask about the car’s performance, which is all very thoughtful.

No wonder Maruti tops the JD Powers charts on service quality.

Overall, I recommend this car for sheer peace of mind.

One point to note though- If you are buying a full-body cover for your car, go for the Maruti Genuine Accessories (MGA) cover from the dealership. It is more expensive than what you find in the market, but the quality is far far above the local market products.

Great power,Fuel economy,good looks,drivers car(fun to drivee)Swift is unique.. no minus
