Beyond my expectations

Exterior Initially I had planned to buy swift diesel, but then looking from a family perspective I always favored i20 and now that i have got. I beleive in terms of exterior this car is gorgeous to look. My neighbour has a swift and he is jealous of me and that makes me feel good as i am not.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) At such a price and in such category, i culdn't have expected for more. They have taken care of everything. Be it seats, music system, space. Everything is sheer quality. I should say Hyundai scores a perfect 10 on this one. Although, suspension could have been a touch better but I still would rate this better than swift.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Performance - When you rust this engine to 110 at 4th gear. Then you still have 2 more gears to go, I culdn't try beyond this as where do i find a road . Although Chandigarh da trip ta laana hi hai. Test would get completed. Overall, performance is the best of the lot in this car.

Fuel economy - I am not sure what swift owners are getting. But i20 is currently delivering me 18-19 in mix city and highway driving. Pls note this is without AC as its winter time now and i usually drive during evenings and mornings. I beleive the fuel economy can go up to 22-23 on a pure highway drive. Also, just to tell you guys, this fuel average would only come when you drive below 2000 RPM's as dis car drinks a lot of diesel when revved about that, so ensure you drive in a correct gear.

Gearbox - Quite smooth, I din't feel any problem. Although shifting from 5th to 6th is tricky as i sometime hit 4th in the process.

Ride Quality & Handling Suspension - Its good. I still would have liked if Hyundai would have gone a mile ahead in improving this.

Handling - Steering is a little lite so one may have to grab it at higher speeds as you may feel that car is drifting through lanes. But this steering works like butter in city driving and that's a pleasure while driving in city conditions.

Final Words Well guys, if you buy swift for fuel economy i would say pls dnt think that. I20 is equivalent if not better in this case.

If you buy it because of Maruti, well experience something new. Life comes only once - How long would you continue to drive that common looking car which isn't that a good value for you.

Final say - Pls buy sportz model as it gives you ABS. I seriously miss it at high speed, although braking without it is still excellent but we never know when we may need it.

Areas of improvement Car is simply perfect. If they can improve the service interval to 15k or 20k then it would be great. 10k is too less for a car of this size.

Style, Fuel economy, Diesel power,I miss ABS- pls buy sportz mode ::((
