Not VFM

I bought new swift LDI 1 month back and would like to share my  honest opinion:

Exterior Looks above average.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Looks average , total black will  cause more  heat absotbtion to the interior, real leg room is very small, boot space is wafer thin and most dangerous thing is poor visibility on corners due to bad rear view mirror and pillar design. A/C seems decent.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Performance Not upto the mark, pick up is not adequate, need frequent gear shift, engine struggles with a little speed down, gear shift seems decent , except the reverse which some time not accurate.

The instant fuel consumption reading seems manupulated , i dont know how they measure, by flow measurement? It jumps from 7KM/l to 24 suddenly when you shift gears, how it possible.

Poor Braking, the hand brake is good for nothing.

Ride Quality & Handling Bumpy ride( horrible) on uneven surface , seems the suspention is too rigid , not good for family.

Final Words Actually swift disel is much hyped car than it is actually . Maruti is taking undue advantage of this hype and keep inceasing the price. Not a VFM car anymore.

Areas of improvement Total revamp is required.
