A Budget Pocket Dynamite

Exterior Suzuki has tken classic and packaged it into contenpraory, well one cannot say that everything has changed, but still the look feels rreally appealing and boler than the predicisor swift.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) I am quite impressed by the all black interior it gives it quite a upmarket appeal and more modern touch. The Central waterfall console is adds on to the modern looks. The interior plastic is soft and up market. But i still fell that use of some brushed aluminium would have added some more grace and changed the monotonous black appeal.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The Engine is the one arena which left me throughly impressed it is a nice peppy and responsive engine, everytime one pushes the rpm above 2200 there is a slurge of turbo kick and the swift pounces like a hound. The enigne is suitable for both city as well as highway drive. with excellent high and mid range performance, its only the lower ranger where the engine struggles. Fuel Economy is execellent, buit it depends on the driver and the considition. Proper shifts improves the economy. Gearbox is very good its short and presise.

Ride Quality & Handling The Ride quality is the down side of this car to a extent, the suspension being stiff the car makes you feel all the bumps on the road and the rear seat passenger is the victim in bad road conditions. The leg room in the rear is meager and due to the slooping roof line the head room is also compramised making it a clastrafobic condition. the Handling is good in straight line sprnt the car is planted, but in the cruve one has to be careful the car has a tendency of lossing grip on the cruves at high speeds, so one cannot attack the corners. 

Final Words In all the Swift is  a great valve for money package, its a perfect car for the people with average city commute and occational getaway drive. Dont keep very high exectations and you wont be dissappointed.

Areas of improvement The areas of improvement is the ride quality, it needs a softer set up of suspensions and a little weight in its handling to attack the coners. and last but not the least some leg room in the rear set.

Responsive Engine, short gearshifts, and good AestheticsLack of Leg room in rear seat, and Stiff Suspension
