Hi,
Having owned the Swift Dzire Vdi for over 4 months now. Following are my observations till now :
- The buying decision is tough for the VDI model since the Ford Ikon TDCI is priced around 5,20,000 and has better fuel economy, however when you consider resale value and cost of maintainence, Dzire is better.
- The mileage initially was around 17-19 however after the first service if the rev counter is kept below the 2000 RPM mark then the mileage even with A/C can go upto 20-22.
- The car has reasonably well equipped music system, powerful A/C , good stance while driving.
- However the downside is the turbo lag which is felt rarely. Also the tyres are too thin and while braking suddenly the tail spins to the left.
The car extremely good overall.
