Maruti Suzuki Swift - The quickest and fastest

Comfort and Practicality
what matters for a normal Indian is how comfort and usable the car is for daily usage and for short trips.

Storage space
What Swift lacks is the storage space found on many competitive models. Wagon R has tones of storage space in the dash board. Indica has thoughtful spaces for the driver.

Swift has a plain stylish dash. There is one glove compartment, not very big though. There is a utility space on the center console, good enough to hold mobile phones and wallet. As usual door pockets and seat pockets. What disappoints me more is the absence of under seat parcel tray. The European version of Swift has this and Indian version of Santro and Getz has this. For a car with very less utility space, under seat parcel tray could have helped at least to store some audio cassettes and CDs. Everyone owning a car would agree that Cassettes and CDs take up most of the space in the dashboard

Boot is also not so generous. I would say it is much similar to Indica. Wagon R has the class leading space in its category. Swift is definitely not in podium in this section

Comfort
Like any other Maruti cars, AC is excellent. The top end ZXi gets an automatic climate control and I was amazed with its performance. VXi and ZXi have tachometer, door open warning, light on warning, key inside warning and driver seatbelt warning. And best of all, VXi and ZXi has rear electric window (many small cars has only front power windows)

But the most important is the space to accommodate 5 passengers. Width of Suzuki swift is similar to Honda City (1690 mm). It can seat 3 passengers decently at the rear seat. The leg room is much better than other Maruti small cars. But Getz has marginally better leg room. Swift was designed to compete with Hyundai Getz and Honda Jazz (Hatch back variant of Honda City) in the European market and hence, seating comfort will be on par with its rivals.

Speakers provisions on doors
Maruti usually has 4 inch speaker provision in the front which means compromise on sound quality. And the rear speakers placement on small car is worst. Usual position is the rear parcel tray which means compromise on boot space. Swift has 6 inch speaker provision on all four doors which means no compromise to be made.
