Just Wow...What a car...!!!!

 

I ended up with Swift atlast!!! Lxi (used one).

I used Ford Ikon, Later Palio 1.2 And Now Swift. I would say Swift is a nice car that runs according to your driving. I wanted to check the mileage So I drove from Bangalore to Bangarapet. Exactly 80 KMS, from my office. I filled fuel for 600 Bucks (8.4 Ltrs Approx)  I drove all the way home and back totalling up to 165 Kms, and still there a little bit fuel left. WOOOW...!!!  thats somewhere close to 20 KMPL. I drove the same on an i10 and it gives me 22KMPL, But Hyndai i10 bloddy hate it...!!!  looks very much girlish and old man types for me. :P

I should say I drove within 80 KMPH to 100 KMPH using minimal clutch and steady idling and swift exactly loves the way I drive. Very steady with 33 PSI   on both the front and rear wheels.

I never got this fuel economy in palio,  palio had an advantage - I used to drive 80 KMPH to 140 KMPH and it steady mileage on the high way was 16KMPL Inside city however I drive 10 to 11 KMPL, It never respected my driving, It just ran only so much however I drove.

Back to Swift Now. I drove to mysore to check the speed. Touched 160+ and the fuel economy was around 15KMPL. Thats nice deal.

The Paint work is not very great. Sometimes when the front door is banged hard, Gives a rattling noise, But handle it gently!!! I bought a used one which was 38K driven, the suspension seems to be perfectly fine! Loved it. I feel jealous when LDI's and VDI's rip past me and pay less on the fuel... But however this is perfectly a nice car till I upgrade to LDI or VDI.

Please suggest a nice place to get alloy wheels in bangalore if anyone knows about it.  you may send me an email zazdcruz@gmail.com

Thanks. Happy Driving..!!!  use seat belts and Please use low beam inside city (Shows you know to drive)  Switch off engines when you are in signal, even if you are rich...!!! reduces pollution.

Take care.

see you on the road.
