Excellent value for money car that combines style, performance and mileage

I am a proud owner of Maruti Swift LXi and am writing this review after two full years and after driving for 26000+ kms. Swift is one of the best cars in a mid-size category and offers fantastic value for money. Style, Performance, Mileage, Seating Space.....these elements are among the best in class.  What leaves much to desire is boot space, wish it could've been more for touring and highway driving. Another factor that can improve is suspension / comfort as far as a big car is concerned.  Notwithstanding these two factors, there is no car in the price range of 4.6 lacs that can provide such an excellent value for money - consider the fact that it is still the hot selling car with 3 month waiting period, highest resale value in its class, excellent mileage (18 on hwy, 15 city with AC) and superb performance, backed by Maruti Service Assurance. You can be carefree after buying Swift. Other cars in this price range are just not worthy of comparison as of now.  I've driven on expressways at 125+kmph with complete ease and road grip as well as on bumper to bumper traffic on city roads at low speed (high torque) without engine knocking.  On style and looks, I would say some people dislike it, but I like it immensely., it's just different and looks classy.  Interiors are typical maruti class, nothing much to talk about. Sophistication is just missing, but you can't get everything in one package.  Given the price and overall performance, I would rate this car as the BEST IN CLASS.  Go for it if you want to use it for city roads as well as for highways and love value for money buys.Superb performance combined with mileage, space and styleboot space and slightly bumpy when compared with cars in its class
