maruthi swift vdi

I bought my Swift VDI on Feb 20th 2007. Before that i was in a dilemma whether to buy Swift or Hyundai Getz. After 3 months of my inability to decide, i was blessed with the arrival of Swift Vdi (diesel). I immediatly went for a test drive and WOW i was impressed. I was pleasently shocked by the Vdi, it had the best pickup. Once you cross 2rpm the turbo charger kicks in and you can feel the car take off. Swift has the best smooth looks around, in its segment (the rest are just so routine).

The sales guy bragged about very good mileage and all that, but seriously i never believed him for a sec (I was a little doubtful whether the car would still be so peppy after a few months or years). Anyway i loved the car and that was what mattered. I work in chennai and i travel an averege of 45 km per day in jam packed city traffic (only 1-2 gears). You will not believe that i get an amazing mileage of 15.8-16.2 in city. Every month or so i make an occasional trip to Bangalore. The highway sees me rip my swift at around 140 km per hr (Its sooo smooth).Yeah i do wish that the engine could have been more silent but cmon who's paying attention to the sound when your car is so charged up. My father owns a Ford Fiesta and a hyundai Accent. My swift is way more spacious than the accent.Unlike other cars i feel that the seating and the ride comfort of the car is excellent. when on the inside i donot feel that i'm in a small car at all.

Today after four months and 7600km with my Swift i can still fell that life in it when i drive it. I really wish that they would have come up with a Zdi version but i realise that the price would then be more that the next good sedan. If any of you car buyers need my advice i'd say if you are buying a car dont compromise with money and go for the lower versions cause its just not a car with out the full package. If you cannot afford i suggest you go for another model but the top version. Because once you buy your car and then feel that you should have done or bought something else then you have lost the real joy a car u like can give you. I bought my swift with ABS facility and i guess a powerful car needs ABS dont you think. Hoping that this review can be of some help to someone out there
