wht ur priority?
u alwz travel? hv big family?

now driving 2005 Gen2, boring already.
not always travel, single.

single ka.....i will go for suzuki swift...
1. single no need big big car for family...
2. suzuki is 3 year younger then city.....
3. suzuki more stylise....

i also think swift more stylist than city,
but i guess vitec engine more powerful than swift.
any swift owner or city owner here?

that y we are asking you for ur requirement of ur car......comfort?power?style?
if you need more power...city will be the choice.....i drove my frs city and swift before, indeed city have better power, especially when you really dare to tekan the pedal, vtec will blow swift away....

Actually I am a Honda fan, but Swift is not a bad car too, although the interior is rather dull.
But If u want spirited driving, best go for Swift, gives better performance than VTEC IMO.
But if u want for smoothness,spacious and don't really mind the performance, go for City.

swift>old city

120bhp with small and light body accelerate faster than city anytime

i think i want spirited driving,
because my gen2 is under power. make me always sleepy.
comfort? swift is more comfort that my car. i think..

city is big car for family? u must be joking

ur gen2 manual or auto? if manual can easily tapao both cars.. been there, done that.
and the gen2 is my friend one without iafm or cps.. 1st batch gen2 while mine is 2007 honda city vtec and 2008 swift 1.5

Added on August 6, 2010, 12:34 amand no offence, i think myvi might be able to tapao or at least stick to the swift anytime

y you think city is not a big car for family?

my gen2 is 1.6 auto. many friend try my car also say like this." under power"

because city is so small, the rear seat can nicely fit 2 teenage/adult and 1 small kids only.. then the front seat also cramp with limited leg space.. vios even worst
there was once i drove my city vtec with 5 adults go up genting.. struggling like hell, but not the car, is the passenger

gen2 1.6 auto i got no comment as i never drove any of those.. so far all the campro i tried is a manual one including iafm and the cps..
btw, under power compared to what? audi tt? maserati?
u know some ppl memang anti local one no matter how great the thing is..
if u give them a vvti engine in gen2 shell and let them test drive without them knowing, u probablt get "under power" as answer also

oh.. u are city owner..thats y you know ,haha
maybe auto gen2 more suck than manual...
when go to genting, all car at my back potong my car.

btw any swift owner here?

cannot tahan anymoar ka? Waja Replacement Model is coming..

swift is for chick, a dude drive swift sport. hehe, get a swift sport and you wont regret. make sure it's a manual one.

This post has been edited by torreto: Aug 6 2010, 02:25 AM

if you are single. definitely a swift. Much more power than a city even tho the city has vtec and the swift has the 4speed gear box. Its still better than the slow cvt gearbox. Most important, swift got platform to mod. Can change to swift sport manual box if you get tired of your auto.

City, err...keep it for your mother to drive la.

swift ler.. city cannot 'tahan' la.. the so called v-tec at city sure feel nothing.. but better u test drive both then u know, coz every person hv different feel la..

Swift any time, newer, less maintenance, less headache.

i am not joking, city compare to swift only wat, then city sure bigger the swift.......

Hi

Before you want to get your self a City 2005 please make sure the gear oil is well maintain if not you buy a faulty gear when problem come you need to spend 10 - 15 k for the gear box not sure about kedai potong.

Than you complain that honda cvt is useless.

For swift i dont have any comment because i see recently market demand is very high.
The price for second start to grow.

it show that swift now highly demand.. coz of wht? huhu.. u think u know then..

Don't say like that la, on the road got many city driver ma, that mean they all buy for mother ?

so u r comparing to only swift la? tell la early.. u said city is a big family car and i was like wtf, how can a b-segment car call big family car? then those accord camry cefiro call wat? super big family car? lol

Sorry, I don't want buy proton car again.
1st car wira
2nd car gen2
3rd car sure not proton

I am too young to drive, but the car that i ususally ride in is a early 2008 Swift 1.5 pre-facelift (lights and bumper are different), meaning that it looks like the imported model but is CKD. I am a car nut (and a computer geek, thats why i joined LYN) and I am quite informative about cars. My Swift has some rattles here and there and the rear legroom is just acceptable (I am nearly 6 ft tall). It will be the car that i will drive when I get a license in few months. I like it though. For your notice, the car that the Swift replaced is an Waja Campro without IAFM and CPS. The Proton really felt underpowered because I always heard the engine straining when it hits 4k rpm.

Added on August 6, 2010, 11:45 pmlet me see how your swift look like...

This post has been edited by nd3527: Aug 6 2010, 11:45 PM

Sorry don't have photos of my car,

head over to swift club malaysia for more info.

Either get CBU swifter or after first batch CKD swift can adi.

Not bad the second hand price for swift is going up.

that mean 2008 model ok lah...

It just means the other models will be using 80% imported parts than the first batch ckd.

Do remember to do basic check on the car as well as test drive too

ok, thanks for your information.

let me poison u all abit. hehe

the poison is not very effective

effective for me ma..haha

U have a swift?

that for sure not at malaysia ler..
between, swift is nicer then previous model h.city..

between what? honda city and?

How about swift fc compare with city?
Which 1more save fuel?

go for swift la.nicer looks than city

swift sport owner here

How our car look like? Photo?

my car still stock, just like normal swift sport on the road.

My dad just changed the brake pads few weeks ago. Not alot of problem, just some small rattles here and there. How is your local dealer? The dealer in Ipoh is quite bad.

Save fuel or not?

What is fuel saving in your terms?

For me full city driving with lots of jam(LDP and MRR2),RM60 can go 400km++

i think swift more fuel saving than my gen2

i will choose CITY for practicality, big boot is a must for me, as i travel often, carry a lot of big/long things. I'll choose swift if i still single, but honestly, on stock, swift got more gaya than city lah.

By the way, i own a honda city vtec 2005. so far so good, no problem at all. Odo reach nearly 140,000km, but the engine works very very well. Past 5 years, i just changed battery 3 times, and last 3 months, the rear left absorber was broken. Considering the way i trash my car, i could say, city is a very reliable/practical car, worth every sen spent.

i think many people will buy city...on the road u will see many city
swift? still got la, not many loh

go for swift lol...i think city save fuel win here...swift can go around 350??
my fren city can go 550..max...come jb -kl no problem lol....

i jus realize swift 2008 still worth around 58k wo...nt bad...mine is 2008 CKD batch....running 70k km d, no problem at all....

swift...
chick magnet...

Are u sure?

yeah,man...
swift is sexy....
especially the swift sport version(the one with full sexy sporty bodykit...)

swift 1.5 / hondy city is my target only.
swift sport not enough money
aru u swift owner?

nope...
i only have myvi...
but i like swift very much,just can't afford it...
very cool looking car...

Added on August 9, 2010, 12:08 amby the way,bro...

i dont like city...i mean,the model that u planning to buy...
the city u wanna buy,i mean the previous model from the latest honda city it kinda looks like a family car...

This post has been edited by krayzee_wu82: Aug 9 2010, 01:03 AM

what are u talking about??
make me blur already
HAHA

hehehehe....
blur eh?
buy swift la...

I used to drive that city . my bro's city . fc good , handling not bad and nothing to complain for space
my brother is still driving it

i hear that city fc batter than swift fc
but stylist suzuki swift Win
space honda city Win
Power....dont know yet.

old City might need hefty cost to maintain, esp on the CVT gearbox

see lucky when buy 2nd hand car...
2008 swift younger than 2005 vtec city

swift owner here...
FC I don't think swift can beat city
Maintainance both also abang adik la...
I think best you go test drive and buy what you like, you buy what you want with your money =)

Suzuki swift is a good car. Power is sufficient. Handling wise it is very good as Fifth Gear has tested the swift sport with a mini cooper on a track and it only lose to the mini by about 2 seconds only (if i'm not mistaken). But in terms of space, Honda City will win as the Swift is quite small on the inside. City engine has a little bit more power than the Swift.

My city cvt gearbox works like champ lor, no complaint so far. Maintenance fee is not expensive lah, less than RM200 each , but depend on what u change lah. Last time service on 120,000km, i paid around RM380.00 including changing aircond thingy, the aircond not cool then cool then not cool again case. i use city for long trip also no problem at all, from KT to Sabak Bernam a few time a month. On highway speed up to 180km/h also no prob, but need very long road and takes time and not stable.. FC full tank on highway can go more than 650km, in city much much less than that.

i never drive a swift before, but i do have friends who love swift very very much. They are the classy, smart, elegant youngster, not like me, selekeh only..

By the way, i just handed over my CT to my wife, and get myself a pickup, suit me better. Real man drive 4x4 manual bro, baru macho..

new suzuki swift 2011
1.2L engine
or i gonna wait this model come out 1st?

But engine just1.2L petro / 1.3L diesel

malaysia model maybe 1.5L ?

I can go all the way to 180 km/h without problems on the Swift, no power problems with it. But it simply wont go anymore after that. Speed or rev cut maybe?

after thinking of many many day,
my final choice is....
SUZUKI SWIFT 2008
tomorrow call the salesman confirm the price after discount
hope this car not yet sold out

I am a City Vtec 2007 nov driver. My gf driving a myvi, my mum is driving a proton persona. I didn't drive Swift before.
About Swift i like the exterior so much. it very nice.
But if u tell me city vtec will lose to suzuki swift i rather bet my city with ur swift.(except suzuki swift sport) we can race at genting highlands or even anywhere.
if u said city slow or so called vtec i need to ask do u know how to drive honda city? u know what is CTV gearbox? if u dont know how to use please shut up lar. i always drive my gf myvi easily stick with my friend suzuki swift as well. but myvi dont even can stick my backside lo.
about persona, iafm campro engine not bad compare to my city, below 100km/h i will pick up faster, when 100~160km/h i think persona faster, but persona end up maximum speed without air-cond i tried is 180km/h. my city i try without air-cond can go for 190km/h.
this is just my sharing with u guys.
thank you.

Added on August 17, 2010, 2:27 amAnother sharing,
I drive my city 2007 VTEC, from genting highlands toll (i mean the rm5) to resort hotel. i only take 19min to arrive.
i dont know u guys swift can make it or not?
but i really didnt use city to race with swift before. but last time i always drive my gf myvi race with my friend swift at genting highlands, if i no mistaken he slower than me 5min to arrive.
thank you.

So how about you instead ride your friend's swift and test drive instead of comparing with your friend all the time?
