this car is really worth the wait... driven 4000kms in 1n half months. purchased as new.

Exterior of the vehicle is very good... the large headlamps is really distinctive. the front grill and the front bumper is much better. the shape of the front bumper gives the feel of much bigger car. the side mrror mounted side indicators and the eletrical mirrors are elegant. though i believe the rear end is better in the old swift, its not that bad a rear,. the same old wheel cup is really boring.. i changed it to brand new alloy wheels. it has completly changed the side view of the car. please do not keep on that cheap wheel cups it really lets the whole car down.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

the interior of the car is miles bettr than the old swift. the meterconsole and the dash really makes us feel upmarket. its still not up against its volkswagen and fiat rivals. unlike some people say i really lov the black interior. the car has many safety features wen compared to the old. the internally adjustable mirrors , tiltable steering, 4 power windows really as to the comfort. regarding space its really is a drivers car, the space in the back is really not in the class. its impossible even for children to sit in the rear if the number exceeds 3.but there is enough space in the front. the seating position is very low so getting in and out is troublesome for me, i am just short of 6foot. quality of material is ok.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

the engine is a gem, its smooth and quiet and powerful.. the turbo lag is really evident wen the car is packed. but once the 2000rpm is crossed, its like suddenly a beast within has woken up.. its fun to drive wen in turbo range. car smoothly sails to 120kmph even without breaking a sweat.i got an economy of over 21kmpl in highways with 60%a.c and above 17 in city with 60% a.c. gears are smooth and slick though i have difficulty to put the reverse gear,.

 

Ride Quality & Handling

ride quality and hanling is better than the old swift. but the suspension could still be better. its nowhere near that of a punto. sound of road and engine is much less inside the cabin unlike the old model. the handling is just awesome. its really in a league of its own. the car could be literally spun in our fingers, just awesome handling. i had a problem with my front disc breaks some smoke came from it while i drove long downhill road many a kilometres with frequent breaks.wen i said tis to my dealer they said the break could be jammed. i dont have any issue now, dont know whether its bcos of there work or due to the fact that i havent gone in the same way after the service. 

 

Final Words

guys tis car is awesome ... its really worth the wait if u cud manage it somehow. i wud say u book it now without thinking about the money, there is lot of time to think about it before u get the call from ur dealer. lol. its my first car n my first review in any site... i wrote tis bcos i have read literally all the reviews u guys have written about tis car in tis site.. it helped me a lot to make tis perfect decision to buy tis excellent value for money car..
