QUOTE(honkit @ Aug 11 2008, 02:38 AM) currently 3300km. u sure i gotta rev it more? my dad advising me not to as it will damage the pistone? engine won't damage that easily unless u keep rev it to the red zone, ie >6000rpm break-in engine is a must to train your engine when it is young, the best time to do it is after the 1st service, between 1000km-5000km. I dunno much of the details, you can open a thread to ask about that |

QUOTE(limyusiong @ Jul 24 2008, 04:14 PM) It does... the Swift runs on a 4-speed automatic transmission, that means 3 forward gears and 1 overdrive gear... To turn off OD, just slip it down to "3" from "D"...This post has been edited by Vanquish: Aug 25 2008, 02:44 PM |

Hi guys..
There seems to be some unatisfied swift owners here. I really love my Swift. Yeah, I too felt it was underpowered especially before 5K milage. I just did my 1st service at 10K using Mobil 1 5w30 and change my splugs to iridium. Now.. my car is swift as the name given... easy to overtake and no need to press the pedal hard to make it move. My average FC is about 15 - 16 km /l with a 60%city+ 40%highway driving.. (it's OK i guess) Oh well.. i think buying a car is more of a luck.. and it is the way you drive what's important. As long as you know how to handle ur Swift.. it should be OK. Sometime I do rev it high at the highway just to test its swiftness. So far i have no problem with my swift performance. I drove a corolla and sometimes drives a 2005 VIOS and a FIT.. but I like the fun driving of a SWift more. .. just my 2 cent |

this is a very good alternative to big P and small P, and for people who cannot afford Jazz, Polo, Latio...
