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

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.
