REVIEW : Brought 1week back Swift Zxi 2008 driven 400Km as of
now. Here are my few observations.
Pros:
- Feature loaded car.
- A/c is cools very well(Auto cilmate).
- Car has stable ride @ high speeds
- Acceleration is good but it does drop a little bit with A/c
switch ON. It should not matter unless you r drag racing or climbing
a steep slope
- In cabin noise zero but there r few rattles noise on rare
occasion on the co-driver side
- Mileage I don`t care for myself so I have not tried to find out
- Ride quality is decent on pathetic mumbai roads handles the
car-breaker and the craters really well
Cons:
- Visibility is not good especially comes to notice while
negotiating road intersections i.e trying see rigth and left.
- Take good note thts its not a small car, its midsized and
therefore is not that manoevourable compared to other small
hatchbacks
- Rear leg room is just ok and rear sits r bit cramped if you have
3 ppl weighting 80kg or more at rear.
- Integrated music player in ZXi is strictly just OK in terms of
sound quality.

made a right decision in choosing swift as my first car..but to be frank
even this beauty has some serious issues which i exactly read in one
blog.. I did not care for those since they were not talked about by
others.. But they're really annoying me now.. Just visit

REVIEW : I had a maruti 800.I sold my car and wanted to buy a
good car. I checked all possible car with santro and i10. Santro is
outdated and I settled for i10. On the way I just went maruti showroom i
was forced to test-drive swift by sales person but to my surprise I
found the swift that amazing car. It’s very powerful. I cancelled
my i10 booking and settled for swift. It is amazing superb drive amazing
looks.Dont think just grab swift without thinking

REVIEW : I bought Swift VXi on 2 Jan 2006,till now i driven
23000 km thanks to Maruti who launch this car in Indian market having
all the Features which are available in Premium Car & Luxury. Most
of the people say that Swift don’t give average not more than 13in
city. I would like to add something that my swift give more than 15+ in
Delhi city and in Highway more than 17+
Even i have City & Civic. But i feel happier driving my swift, Even
this car does not need heavy maintenance. But i find one thing bad about
this car is that in rough road the interiors make noise otherwise it's
value for money.

REVIEW : The vehicle is stable at high speeds and behaves well
in high-density traffic of Bangalore roads too. However, I felt that the
pickup and the speed drops when the AC is on. With the AC I wasn't able
to pass a Verna, but then, I switched it off and it shot off like a
bullet. So, do not say or claim that there isn't any effect of AC on
engine for Swift!! It's just like any other car having it's own
problems.

REVIEW : I own a Swift ZXi for past 14 months now.I have clocked
20000 kms now. I had few bad exp. with the car.The valve "o"
ring of the A/c failed within 10000km. The Horn stopped working within
15000 km. The build quality still poor.
Plus points are : Zero noise inside cabin,wide seats and elbow area,
excellent pick up(I could actually Zip past a Honda City-IDSI at 165kmph
at 3500rpm on Grater Noida expressway) Braking is sufficient to stop the
car from 165kmph to Zerokmph within 30 sec.

REVIEW : I own a Swift Zxi and am absolutely happy with the car.
The coolest feature is the automatic climate control. I set 25 degrees
and push the auto button. Initially the blower speed is high and air
inside is circulated. Soon the blower speed reduces and when it has
become cool enough outside air is allowed to come in. It maintains 25
degrees for me. I didnt have this feature in my Honda Civic in USA
though that was a few years back. I heard from reviews that Swift is the
only car in that size to have this feature. If you can afford, go for
the Zxi or else wait till you can afford one.

all that i can say is it's really smooth ans swift, its a zero noise
engine , as said before u actually have to take a look at tacho to know
that the car is on, ac is kool, overall fell of the car is awesome,
there is not much competition for swift in this segment of car so i'll
definately give 10/10 to swift

this Car is value for money. It gives good mileage, its a spacious car,
3 people can comfortably sit in the back seat. Hatch back option support
more luggage. It's a nice experience to drive it on Highways. The pickup
in hilly areas is not that good.

REVIEW : Interesting to read totally diametrically opposite
reviews about Swift. Its just the way we Indians react to anything.!! I
own a Swift VXI and have found it a good car to drive around. If not
used as a racing car, it gives you value for money.
To sum it up, Swift is nothing to go highly overboard about, nor, is it
a trash to dump in the dustbin.

think its the best car in its segment though given the competition.

REVIEW : I and my family are extremely happy with the car. It
has been a pleasure driving this. I cannot compare this with other cars
since this is my first car. The boot is small, but in terms of usability
it is more or less equal to Indica, Santro etc.
I have been checking mileage from full tank to empty tank. The mileage
I got last time with 70% city driving with 25-30% AC was 14.81 kmpl
which I think is very good. people who complain should be specific about
the nature of their complaints so that others will benefit from it.

REVIEW : Swift is the begining of an new era in automobile
industry in India. This really makes no sense when ppl say that the
engine lacks punch....just nonsense and this sort of comments can only
be expected from ppl who are real anadis or are jealous of not owning a
swift. I have test driven the swift many a times and have placed an
order for the VXi. Apart from this i am regularly driving my friends
swift and we have been going for long trips...and to be true it never
disappointed us. The engine is so quite that you need to see the tacho
to understand that the engine is on. So guys no wories, blindly u can go
for the swift.

REVIEW : IOwn a VXi since Feb and clocked ~7000 Kms.
GOOD POINTS: Looks good, performance is decent, fuel efficiency at 10.5
Kmpl (AC always) is acceptable.
BAD POINTS: Interiors cramped, NO luggage space, rattle on
passenger-side front door & tailgate not fixed despite repeated
attempts. Front pillar (A Pillar) blocks visibility especially while
taking turns. Black interiors are dark & dingy!
I was happier with my Santro. Forget the others, buy a Santro and put
the extra money in a rocking sound system and you can't go wrong.

REVIEW : I own a silver colored swift VXI and am extremely happy
with the choice.I have done 3000 kms now. One thing that this car
definitely needs is more torque in higher gears. The average is 12+ in
city and 15+ on highways (with AC always on).Few other things that can
be easily done and need to be done by Maruti are:
1. The front dashboard needs to have some sort of pockets/depressions -
so that that big area can be utilised for keeping handy things.
2.Cabin light needs to be like Indica (with 2 button - toggle type
option)
3.A sliding tray is surely missed for keeping tid bits & coins etc.
4. There should be no vibrating sound when the doors are shut with
glasses rolled down-it is embarassing sometimes.
5. The glove box definitely needs a lock
These are minor points but they generate lot of comfort. But we are
enjoying the vehicle immensely

REVIEW : Really I feel very sorry to say that some people feel
that Swift is not good.Either they are deliberately writing or they
don't know real taste of the car. I have seen so many messages that I
made wrong decision, it is not good, mileage is poor etc. I would like
to clear all these things. I own Swift Vxi(ABS) and nearly travelled
5000 km in three months only. I confidently say that "THIS IS THE
BEST CAR EVER IN INDIAN MARKET". There is no any other car in this
segment near by also. I don't know how people say that it is not good. I
feel very proud that I own swift car.Superb technology,zero
noise,powerful A/C, 87bhp engine,very good mileage,good look, good
pick-up when A/C is on, most imp. is safety (ABS system). Even this car
I would have been purchased for 6-6.5 Lakhs rupees. If anybody is
interested in this segment car, please blindly go for swift (Don't think
at all about any other cars.)Otherwise you will miss the opportunity to
drive swift.
Thanx & Regards

REVIEW : Before booking the SWIFT, pls drive and feel other car
in the same category. i own a Golden Vxi and i've been driving since
Sept'05. I am done with 4500 Kms and i definitely feel that i made a
wrong choice.
worst car for hilly area no pickup
body build quality is very very poor AC is good but noisy, the car
shakes too much if the road is bumpy.
Instead of spending 4.5 Lakhs on SWIFT, go for cheaper cars like
santro, indica or ford icon
