I am rajan verma using my sweet swift dzire(PETROL) for last one year . It is a great car but needs improvement on many areas.


First one is difficulty in reversing the car , back is not visible while reversing . so it is almost impossible to reverse without sensors unless u r a very very good driver.


Second one it's brakes won't work if engine is turned off . It is a very dangerous thing . Sometimes it happen when in the morning I get my car out of parking area , I apply the clutch to degeared it then the car due to slope starts moving backward then I try to apply brakes it won't work since engine is off then immediately I start the engine and apply brakes to stop the car going backward.( generally my habbit is to put the car in gear while parking rather than applying hand brake)


Third one is power to weight ratio . Swift dezire is heavy as compared to other rivals as much as 100 kg which means more power is needed to move the car but it lacks more power( only 1200 cc engine ) . compared to etios which has 1400cc engine and 100 kg lighter then dezire . It means more fuel consumption , less pick up .


Forth one isless ground clearance. You have to be very careful while driving on bad road conditions especially large bumpy roads and breakers since if breaker is large then the car may touch it due to low height from the ground .


Fifth one is interiors quality is not upto mark , bad quality of plastics is used ....compared with hyundai i10 - what a good interior it has even if it is a hatchback car . Dezire being a sedan must have good interiors to give a royal looks . Customers will not mind paying 10-15 thousand extra if he is getting good interiors .


Sixth one height of windows is also high . while driving one has to stood up to look outside the window .


Seventh is no USB in music system . I think it will cost nothing to Maruti to provide for USB port but for the consumer it will be a great convenience . Also rear speakers are very small .


Eighth one is it is not possible to measure the average of the car since fuel is shown by way of needle , it doesnot show the quantity of fuel left , even a small segment car like santro shows fuel left by way of a light signal which glows when the fuel reached to the very low level(5 litre). Even maruti's own small segment car  like zen estilo , wagon -R can measure the fuel efficiency since they had digital signals which goes on decreasing with low level of fuel  so why the dzire left behind in this feature.


And finally the last and most horrible drawback is when engine is on , u disengage the clutch to 70% and apply the brakes , it won't work , so to apply brakes clutch must be fully engaged . I think there might be some kind of interdependency between clutch and brakes . Brakes will work fully if clutch is 100% disengaged or 100% engaged , but it won't work if clutch is only 25-35% engaged .


Further quality of suspension needs a little bit improvement and size of tyres also be increase keeping in view the weight of car so that bumps on the road can be passed off smoothly .


Out of above mentioned drawbacks , first , second one AND FINAL ONE that is reversing and brakes ---- must be improved so that reversing the car becomes easy and brakes can be applied even if engine is turned off .


Rest of the drawbacks can be forgone when I see overall package that is maruti brand , fantastic looks , price tag , performance , smoothness , and pleasure of driving a sedan car . Boot space is very large u can take your whole family luggage in the car . Till now I had completed 6000 km .I just want to say if you want to own Dezire you must be very cool driver , because after purchasing it you really feel that it is a desirable car which must be drived very carefully and lovely , afterall it's a heart car .
