    Exterior The sporty touch given to the exteriors similar to new Swift makes it adorable compared to the Old Dzire. The Ground clearance is really good, even with the road humps in Bangalore i could able to ride smoothly.

    The body is pretty decent but can be better for the price, the boot lid is a real cost cutting and can be bent easily. My requirement was a car which has a boot but smaller than old dzire so once the new dzire is released immediatley i booked it. The three qurter look makes you feel that there is no boot at all.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The Interiors makes you feel very comfortable and gives an upper class feel, the interiors are far better from Swift, Old Dzire and even Ertiga for that matter.

    It has a better leg room, integrated Music System which is 9 /10 compared any other music system available in Market.

    The OVRMs control is very good feature to have,  The only concern with the interios is beige even for the car floor, which requires proper managing.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

    The engine is peppy it hardly stops even in second gear even at the speeds < 10, and you hardly hear any sound as you hear from the normal diesel vehicles.

    Fuel ecomnomy is excellent i can say comapred to any other car, i am getting around 19.5 in city, if anyone dont believe me i can prove it. 

    Gear box is decent, but not very smooth, changing to reverse gear is not as smooth as remaining gears.

    Ride Quality & Handling I am surprised at the ride quality & handling which a diesel engine is offering compared to the petrol version. Even before the first service i drove at speeds > 100 without any kind of discomfort / any jerkings.

    Final Words I am happy to own the Swift Dzire VDI, it is best city and family car in Market. 

    Areas of improvement Waiting Periods can be reduced to around 2 Months, ABS and Volume Controls on the steering can be provided for VDI also, can reduce the OTR in Bangalore Dzire VDI is 7.93 Lakhs now without any accessories.
