      I've recently purchased a Red Swift - VDI early October 2011 and am pretty satisfied with the vehicle and the value of money (On road cost me Rs. 6,72,000 on road in Hyderabad). I've already completed 6300 Kms and have completed the first 2 free services. Is almost a pleasure to drive and own.

      Exterior

      Pros: The Company has really given the New Swift 2011 a whole new makeover. Nice bold body lines on the outside, Bigger Head and tail lamps, Well designed front grill and much sharper edged front bumper. ORVM with indicators controlled electrically gives a superior feel.

      Cons: Bigger bumper makes it look slightly odd when compared to the proportion of the other features/fittings on the back. Better Ground Clearance would have been a good differentiating factor from it's predecessor. Rear tail lamp design extend outside the lines of the metal body making it more susceptible to be hit by wandering 2 wheelers around the rear of your car in peak traffic. ABS missing in the mid variant was a real bummer considering that upgrading to their top model almost cost just about 1 Lakh more on road. Build quality of metals not as superior and heavy as the Polo.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

      Pros: The finer lines, inclusion of chrome finish on the dashboard, doors and steering in the VDI gives it a more plusher look for a Indian Hatchback model. Electrically operated ORVM is a plus point with the additional features of Key reminder, head lights still ON when leaving the car and low fuel warning sounds. Newer design for the AC Vent Grill. Sliding cup holder for the co-passenger, an all new speedo LED display with Kms to empty tank are like additional goodies in the Sweet bag.

      Space for the driver and front co-passenger is comfy but that for the rear although slightly enhanced from the previous model is still not a wow factor.

      Cons: Smaller parcel tray with an indent making it slightly difficult to fix rear audio system in models which lack an integrated music system. Driver seat height adjuster should have been a standard feature.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

      Pros:  Pickup seemed amazing before the first service. Assume that this will be fine over time of using the vehicle. Fuel economy was at 14.3 kmpl for the first tank fulls of 42 litres. For the next it gave me about 15.5 kmpl which seemed decent with AC in city conditions. Am yet to try by luck with mileage on the highway.

      Cons:

      Gearbox seems better than the earlier version. Reverse gear seems to have a problem at times which doesnt shift at the first attempt (could be the way i use the reverse).

      Ride Quality & Handling

      Pros:  No body roll when taking sharper turns at higher speeds. Suspension feels better with the steering response better than the earlier version.

      Cons: Braking is an issue at high speeds which might make one insecure about pushing the engine and yet being ready for the odd speed bump or unforseen animal or vehicle needing you to come to a sudden halt. Brake Assist and ABS should have been a must at least for the mid variant which is currently missing in LDI and VDI versions.

      Final Words A good value for money but could have done better with certain features - something as basic as good braking.

      Areas of improvement

      - Better Brake assist

      - Better Pickup at lower speeds.

      - More features for the price quoted

      - Should have had an optional variant with ABS like before.

      Better styled interiors, quality plastics, Decent Mileage.Should have had ABD with mid variants, needs better boot space, Braking issues at high speeds.

      While purchasing the vehicle from Maruti customer should read the documents properly they are asked to sign and should not sign the blank forms.As these documents will act as a trap for customer when they face any issues afterwards.

      Areas of improvement

      Company should take customer's complaints or suggestions seriously by taking appropriate action on it.

      Company should take actions on false commitement from delear rather than encouraging delear by backing them for the false commitement.

      Company should stop giving reason like production issue as excuse for all the customer queries as they are not accepting any excuses from customer.

       Cumpony should teach their executive and distributor to treat customer with honour as customer is paying for the vehicles they own.

       Maruti should work on their policies they follow with the distributor to decrease the malpractises done from the delear.Right now Maruti has strong documentation/policies for customer but not for distributor.Maruti should include some clauses for distributor as well in the order form.

      Vehicle is good but Maruti has to work on keeping customers faith intact with company.Maruti ensure that customer will pay for the losses whether they are caused by mistakes from delear.

      Exterior Same wine in new bottle. On first look it is very much similar as old swift.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior not much change - new steering, no cd player, glass tray (india may be not required). Less boot space.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good fuel economy and good gear box, CRDI engine is rocking.

      Ride Quality & Handling Its good to drive same as old swift.

      Final Words Maruti is Value for money.

      I have already book Swift Dzire on the Rakshabandhan day - Because giving Rs. 6.50 k it is better to give 7.10 in dzire version (Its my personal thought). We expect lot from Maruti in this cut-throat competition.

      Areas of improvement

      1. Provide Alloy wheels in VDI and VXI model

      2. CD player must be there

      3. Very less space in dickey (Storage space).

      4. By increasing in diesel price of Rs. 30k no very high mark improvement.

      good fuel economy, style and comfortno cd player, no alloy tyre, all facility in higher model only

      Exterior Exteriors are good, as compared to ford, i20 and skoda.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Features like CD Player, Bluetooth connectivity are missing in VDi. Comfortable for city as well as long drives too.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I can overtake whom i want, no need to think for overtaking. engine is powerful, economical & Compact. From 0-100 in a blink of your eye.

      Ride Quality & Handling Comfortable ride. Everyone knows the handling of MAruti cars, servicing and maintanance of maruti cars are very economical and you can get spare and service anywhere easily.

      Final Words I simply love it. I love Maruti cars for spare, Service and Resale Values. The best part of Maruti is its Huge Service Network, wherever you go, You can find a Maruti Service Centre. Also the parts are not so costly and easily available.

      Areas of improvement VDi should be equipped with CD Player, Bluetooth and atleast with ABS.

      Interiors as well as interiors are very much refined with good fuel economy and comfort.CD Player & Bluetooth connectivity ..

      Exterior Looks complietly Rock Solid from all the angles, My Sis was not having a craze of Swift models But she was also fasinated with the looks and interiors of the Carrrr when I drove to pune to visit her. I had a dream to buy a car from 2011 , Finally it got true on 6/2/2013. after a long research as I was not willing to waste by hard earned money. Swift Vdi 2011 was my initial choice later Punto Dynamic and I20 Magna Option Came to the Race, I20 was dropped as it costed me Extra 60-65 k in comparison to Punto and Swift. Punto was also out of the Race as Fiat makers were planning to get a face Lift for Punto that would be Punto Evo some where Third quarter of 2013.

      Finally Booked 29 Jan and got the Delivery on 6 feb 2013 from Chowgule Industries in Panjim Goa. As I work in bangalore Everthing was done over the phone, emails , and Net banking, I just went to Sign Registartion Docs and taken the delivery by End of the day.Have to Say these guys are Great in terms of Customer Service

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Looks very Spaciaous from inside, Boot space is also Good, You can accomodate 3 people at the Rear Seat. I have done Floor Lamination,Delux Fliming, Under Coating, Internal panelling and paint protection and Sill guard for fours doors it looks Awesome, this all has costed me extra 16 k.

      Dash board, Steering: Dash board looks amazing, Steering with Silver accent adds charm to it, Ac vents Seems good and features like central locking, Ovrm Movement is at its best.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I learned driving from Motor Driving School in Banaglore got DL by paying Extra Bucks to RTO officer, Was very much Afraid to drive my New Beast as i cant drive the car in traffic,Finding difficulty in shifting the gears, But finally with the help of Frns Managed to Drive for Couple of days with minor Bruises on back and front bumper and left the car in Goa at my home and went to bangalore.

      I returned back to goa after a month for Service and after left for Pune Via Sawantawadi, Kankavli, Kolhapur road, instead of being a starter Driver.

      Complety Unaware about the roads Started from Honda Goa at 2.30 with 2 to 3 Minor Breaks reached pune by 11.30.With a small Bruise on the Front bottom Corner on the bumper Near Sawantawadi whereby a Mahindra fellow was overtaking a bus from front and by no means i have to turn to my left and there was a load of Gravel dumped to repair the road wherby front bottom bumper got chipped, I wished i would have applied break when i saw him, thought i would be able to make it, but I was wrong

      Went upto 140 at that time I felt car is very light. Engine is smooth With Minimal Noise, And gear Box is very smooth, Pune Up and down Costed my 3200 r.s Diesel for 1075 kms. It gives 18 Without A/c   

      Ride Quality & Handling Riding is having complete Fun in ghats as took Raigad, Amboli and Pune Ghat while Returining back, Its like a Cheetah on NH 4. Had a good competion With Innova, Scorpio, Skoda Rapid, And of Course Swift/Dezire.

      My new Beast has touched 1674 kms and I am planning to bring to Banaglore in june so that I can taste the rides. Bit afraid driving in traffic

      Final Words Just go for it knewing the facts that it has Fiber Fuel tank, Its Weighs less compared to the cars in same segment,Metal used to build is thin. Value for Money if it has been in hard way.

      Areas of improvement Metal used should of a good Quality, Company Claims mileage as 23 but seems its only 18 or???

      Funky Zombie ExteriorMetal used in the acr in Very thin.

       i bought the new swift just 4 days back and found the speedometer not working and also the brakes and clutch plates are very loose , it was like the company gave me an old used swift and also at the time of delivery they even forgot to keep the antena , though the company is enjoying for the success of swift, it is losing its value in the urban market, please grow maruti suzuki and stop fooling the indian customers with your poor build quality

      First i will start with my buying experience: We brought our Swifty car by paying premium amount to the dealer as there was waiting period of 6 month at that time. This was the first car of our family. In terms of ride quality its is just amazing. you just need to push this car as much as you can and it will not be disappointing you in any road condition. It is very well balance it road even in sharp cuts you will be confidant with the staring feedback. i must say some time i feel staring wheel in heavier side. Since she is 6 years old but you will be getting amaze as it looks far better than current generation. I have done some modification to make it more attractive. Just an small update i have already drove my swift 1,20,000 Km with regular service in 10,000 km it never disappoint me any situation. I always use to go Maruti service maser for Service which cost me around Rs 10,000 per service(average). All the staff's are very friendly and even they started recognize me as they knew me and my car love. In terms of Cons: 1.Its just rear and boot space. 2. Paint Quality can me improved. In terms of Pros: 1.Just amazing 2.Value for money 3.Trust worthy 4. Easy availability of spare parts 5. Easy customization 6. etc... etc.... etc.... Last but not the list i will not sell this car in any cost till it get expired in my RC. <3 Hope you like my review if you need any suggestion or any information related to car just reply in the comment section Thank you,

      EXTERIOR

      1. Maruti offers very poor quality body & bumper fittings
      2. Back bumper should belowered to make loading easy

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

      1. Badly fitted rattling interior
      2. Boot space has been reduced
      3. Reduce outside noise
      4. Back is not split.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

      1. Good tweaked engine
      2. 18.5 kms/litre urban plus highway
      3. Terrible gearbox groan in 3rd, 4th & 5th gear past 60.  Comes from poorly put together gear box.

      Ride Quality & Handling

      1. Good ride & handling

      Final Words

      1. Not good value for money. After adding on a good audio system, seat covers, foot mats, steering cover & alloys it costs as much as Hyundai i20, which is a far superior vehicle in every respect with many extra's like rear camera, extra leg room, bigger boot space, 4 wheel disc brakes & no waiting period for delivery.

      Areas of improvement  

      1. Gear Box
      2. Reduce rear bumper height so loading a 15 kilo suitcase becomes easier.
      3. Focus the lower bumper lights.
      4. Improve the quality of Interior fittings & make sure they don't rattle.
      Tweaked BHP, Good fuel economy, tilt steering, power windows & side view mirrorsTerrible gearbox grone, badly fitted interior noise.
