SWIFT... A great car!

I would like to say that today I am haapy that I made a decision to buy Swift over other cars! Buying a new car was not very easy job, Swift was not on my list when I started searching but once I had a test drive, I changed my mind and chose to go for it! Though my initial experience with Maruti was not so pleasant, somehow I was in love with the car and finally baught it. It took littlemore than 3 months for Maruti to deliver my Swift ZXi (Petrol) in Mettalic Sunlight Copper color:)... (read as lot of frustration before starting the relationship)

Changing from Santro to Swift was a good change. I now had a bigger car with almost same size. Space is good enough for average indian family of 4. The seats are really comfortable and can give you a good ride even when driving long distances. My ZXi version come with lots of features which were unique when I purchased the car. Audio controls on stearing wheel, Automatic Climate Control, ABS, Airbags, All Alloy wheels to name some of them here... The driver seat comes with all possible adjustments and I could easily adjust my seat for a comfortable position. I felt electronic power stearing is far better than the hydraulic one on my Santro. Because of the wide track of this car, its very stable at higher speeds. The 1.3 lt engine pumps enogh power to the car to keep you seat back and enjoy the ride thro heavy traffic or highways. Once you are conversant with the car you willhave great confidance over it.

Some of the issues I feel Maruti should work on include the initial starting torque of the car is really poor. You will feel need thurst when you are trying to overtake some vehicle. Electronic mirror adjustment is the only feature I feel missing on the car. The climate control opens up the external air circulation once it reaches the desired temperature, this is not so comfortable when you are driving on city roads. The delivery mechanism and the attitude of sales team was very poor. I had all frustration of my life before I got delivery of my car. I had almost made my decision not to buy Maruti car again. Hope my experience with the car changes it again😊
