An excellent choice from Maruti

I have purchased Swift DZire LXi after much screening in 2010 and could get delivery after almost 2 months on 21st July,2010. I opted for Lxi as my daily usage could be limited and I had SONY CD player with Explode speekers of my old car.

Exteriors have been good and interiors are comfortable. Engine performance is excellent. Gearbox works fine.Even the city drive gives a feel of Makkhan on good roads. Till date of writing this review i.e. 7th Sept., 2011 I have completed 12950 Kms in different conditions. Three services are completed. I have made  1 visit to Baroda ( Mumbai to Baroda Approx 420 KM  ) , 2 visits to Parli / Ambejogai ( ahead of Ahmed Nagar : One way Distance approx 480 km ) , 4 visits to Konkan area ( one way apprx. 350 km ) and many visits Mumbai to Pune and back ( To and Fro distance 380 - 390 km). Many of these were during mansoon. It has been a very comforatble driving experience. Even after driving 450km + at a stretch in a day and over 1000km in 2 or 3 days, at my age of 49 years, I do not feel tired . Before purchasing this car, I had not driven like this. There had been a gap of 3 years in driving. But from day one, I feel very much comfortable. I have touched max 160 on Mumbai Pune express way while driving along with 3 family members and during this 13 months driving experience, I rarely rememebr anybody surpassing me on highways. I was at ease in ghats in konkan areas as well.

I get milage of 11.25km in Mumbai local drive and approx 13.40 km in outstation drives. Imrovement in milage is always desirable. My brother who has been daily driving res to office and back  for over 20 years ( and has used three different cars ) also appreciates the Dzire as Excellent.

Final Words Excellent car from Maruti : good for Indian roads and long drive is pleasing experience.
