I had purchased my Maruti Swift Dzire VDi in Oct 2014. I have almost completed 230000 kms in the same .It returned an impressive average of 20kmpl even with the AC on. I am very happy with it and I can get it is very easy on the pocket to maintain as well. I had a Maruti Alto before this and I am a loyal Maruti buyer. I will also get a brilliant resale value for my Dzire when I sell it later on. The diesel engine is slight noisy at times and the engine clatter is quite audible inside the cabin. I had my eyes on the Honda Amaze as well but then I am more comfortable with Maruti as a brand. Also, I wish Ford would have launched the Figo Aspire earlier so that I could have bought the same as it seems as a nice car. It even has 6 airbags in the top model whereas the Dzire that I have doesn?t have even one! I should have bought the top-end variant which comes with ABS and airbags and it would have kept me and my family safe. Hyundai Xcent was also amongst my shortlisted cars but I am glad I chose the Maruti. To sum things up, the Dzire is a good practical family car. I will get a good resale for it, it returns an awesome average of 20 kmpl and is quite cheap to maintain as well. I hope it keeps on bringing more smiles to my face every day .
