Hi guys !!!
I bought New Swift Vdi last year after a lot of research on the best car for a budget of under 8lacs. Initially was planning to go for either Dzire Vxi or Amaze petrol only. Swift Vdi was a wild entrant and buying New Swift Vdi has proved to be a really good decision. Had owned only Petrol cars b4 I bought this beauty,but this diesel engine is too good-just vroom...
Overall the New Swift has got a classy and sporty look from outside with a decent interior. This car is loaded with features like inbuilt music system, orvm, adjustable steering wheel, abs...although airbags are missing in mid variants ??. Leg space in front is better than rear. M close to 6ft n athletic body type but I can easily hop in n out of the car-though I was very skeptical about it at first. Boot space is not big but enough for shorter tours.
Extra accessories like spoiler, body mouldings and Windsor can add to the beauty of the car.
This 1248CC diesel is very powerful for a small car but it's just gr8. Power, pick-up and mileage are the biggest plus of this car. Many a times I have clocked 160kmph and it hardly lets u feel uncomfortable. Very stable as it has got excellent grip on the roads. I regularly drive on highways and this car gives excellent mileage of more than 24+ on highways and 18+ in city with ac. Bcoz of better mileage,I have nearly stopped using my bike.
Very early to comment but since it's a maruti car, service n maintenance is very affordable. Recently did paid service on 10k kms for n approx bill of 6k.
Pros-
1)Best hatchback under 8lacs.
2)Excellent mileage and driving experience.
3)Low maintenance cost.
4)Excellent resale value.
5)Gr8 looks and better engine.
6)Good ground clearance.
Cons-
1)Interior material & outside paint could have been of better quality.
2)Niggling noise of door rubber seals.
3)Better suspension needed.
4)Atleast 2 airbags in front.
5)Needed more leg space for rear passengers.
Overall besides all cons it's a Value for money car !!!
