Now I am actually driving it and I must say that the car is absolute value for money. One thing that goes without saying is that no one has ever tried giving so much to the customer at such a cheap price. The 14'' Alloy wheels and the super smooth Auto Climate Control System make sitting inside the Swift an out of the world experience. But the interiors are quite cheap plastic and you have to spend another 40K to get the real luxury feel.
The super fuel efficiency does not hurt and you are talking about a super luxury car that costs you only 4000 per month in running costs and the freedom to choose your own accessories rather than get caught with whatever the mfr fancied was enough for you.
At 3700mm the length for the hatchback is the same as all luxury saloons albeit their is no boot at the back, which makes it ideal for driving in city conditions. Your ideal office car and you do not need a driver ever. The looks are unconventional and that is what makes it stand out in a crowd.
The Drive is quite light and you do not feel any weight of the car while driving. IT is quite a shocker to you mentally when the car drives smoothly at above 100 kmph in a short burst and you almost feel like you are chugging along at a low speed because of the noiseless engine and no strain on your pedals. The engine is quite powerful and it takes time to adjust from the 'heavier' cars.
The dashboard looks absolutely lovely esp. after the In Dash Blaupunkt CD Changer I have put in, and the turning radius is also quite small.
