Hi , lets discuss about suzuki swift CKD in terms of fuel consumption , maintenance , handling , etc .

I just saw a seller selling suzuki swift at RM70k in Malacca Mall yesterday , immediately i fall in love with it lah. Man its such a nice car.

Anyone driving one?

damm hard to find a used unit in kl................

i think there are a few thread on this car..personally i love this car in terms on look but the size its to small for it's price...i saw one used unit in kepong selling for 63 or 68k for a 2 year old car.....

when was that? 1.5 or 1.6?

2 years old...then its the CBU unit?

2 yrs old CBU want to sell at above RM60k? U must be kidding. If what you said they are selling at 68k, then I would choose a NEW one only at 70k lor. Got 3 years warranty somemore...

When the CKD came out, their CBU has no value... kesian!

Neway, yes thre is already a thread discussing about this car.

but CBU unit quality is better than CKD , this is a fact that cant be ignored / Hence why the price is 68k at 2nd hand unit

actually, been seeing threads with suzuki swift around here.. may be do a search?

suzuki m'sia claims that the ckd model is as good as the cbu model, but we've all heard that before... well finding a good used unit may be difficult cause it's still very new in the market and many ppl will not part with it... unless they willing to lose $$$ to finance...

i got a colleague driving a black swift with dark tint..damn nice!!

how the differences btw CKD/CBU built up?

My house got a 2008 Suzuki Swift CKD, from what i can see,the quality is almost as good as the CBU unit, IMHO much better than Honda City(I am drivin this, Year2004 Vtec)/Toyota Vios). Very nice car to drive, just feel a bit underpowered

tested the cbu auto swift sometimes ago.
imo, the car isn't underpower with 2 person on board.
good handling for such a small car.
plus it is very easy to manouvre in tight traffic too!

just like the naza bestari, earlier version of the ckd are same as the cbu; this is cuz' most of the parts are from identical source while the later batch tend to have more localize' parts to minimize the cost.
btw, the QC is always there.

errr.... maybe this car can run on hayabusa sourced engine

i was considering it last time.. but heard the fuel consumption is not so good

where are the pictars ?


swift as in the suzuki impul punya model ?

as the platform handling is better. how the FC performance?

FC is quite good, comparable to Altis 1.8G. RM50 can go about 350km-400km, bear in mind that this is on a new car with less than 1k mileage, it might improve after the first service(10k).... FC wise do not worry la it's better than most of the car on the road, handling wise is really superb compared with my H.City

its pro & con actually, see what is your need.
so far, there is no such good fc yet good handling vehicle isn't it?

how much ur swift cost u OTR?

i still remember there was a topic argue b4 in autoworld.com.my btw swift & city

OTR is around 72k, interest rate around 2.4%(Might get lower if your credit from bank is good) , overall nice car to drive, but not really suitable for family of 4 due to not so comfortable back seats + small boot

CKD = assembly in Malaysia by local or probably Indonesia or Bangladesh labour
CBU = 100% made in Japan mostly assembly by robot

conventional auto will definitely feel abit sluggish compared to cvt
