Exterior I simply feel it is the most beautiful car in it's segment, with truly contemporary european styling it simply looks great.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Swift has pretty decent interiors and if one is going for the stereo system that suzuki offers it enhaces the looks greatly as it fits very neatly into the dash board althoguh the sound it offers is pretty poor, definately not for the music buffs. front seats are comfortable and so are the rear seats but it lacks leg space, certainly not for the taller ones.
Now comes the bad part, the build quality of the dash board is very poor as I have just driven it for 20,000 kms and it already rattles, the door trims too rattle sometimes. This definately is not expected from a car of this stature.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Vroooooooomm, It's not a car its a sports car, I have easily reached speeds of 160 Km/hr and the car remains stable, however braking is a big let down, driving at such speeds one definately needs stronger braking, Fuel economy is good, I am getting 16 Km /ltr in city and 17 on highways- point to remember is that I ahve always driven in excess of 130 Km/hr on highways, I winder what fuel economy I would get in case I drive it at 80 Km/hr. Overall it's a great car to drive and a guy like me who loves to fdrive this is the car. Gear changes are smooth although reverse gear causes problems sometime.
Ride Quality & Handling I would'nt say ride quality is great but then it is pretty decent, have been through soem big potholes in Gurgaon and the car behaves well. Sometimes howver the rear has touched base with the road.
Final Words Great Car to own, and fantastic value for money, I will sugget this car for driving fans as this car is a driver's delight.
Areas of improvement Braking for sure, withe kind of power the car has itdefinatly needs improvement, interiors for sure, rattling sound is a big irritant and really lets you down and rear leg space.
Great Pick up , European styling , fantastic value for moneyDashboard rattles , poor leg space at the back , poor braking
