well ~ after seeing all the post from the beginning untill the end , at first SUZUKI SWIFT was a good car but then some small amount of people claiming tht the FC was not good enough .

to make a reply of that , i got a SWIFT (silver color) normal 1.5 brought just 1 year ++ only  ( august 2008 )
so far i just follow the SA to Service the car every 10K milage ( normally i will sent for service around 9.5K )

and now at first 10K the FC was around 0.17cent per KM ( petrol price was RM1.92)

and now if you were keep on driving in the townand most of the time maintaine the speed of between 80-110  then the FC will be as low as 0.15cent (petrol price RM1.80) , sometime even can get 0.14Cent Per KM
so far this car was never give me any problem , Power wise ... is perfect for normal driving in the city where you does not need to full push the "oil" to over cut a car because this car was design to for FC used and if you really need the car to goes overtake in a short distence , this car will require more FC to overtake in fonr tof the car , but if you were driving all the way , just driving further back a distence then push abit little deeper the "oil"  (normally will be 0.5CM deep )then the car will have abit of "speed" so in later time , you will feel abit of "booster" then u can easyli overcut the car which is in front of you .

this what i can say about the SWIFT , overall FC is consider as good as MYVI

untill now i never even run beyound 3K RPM cause for me i drive quite slow and i don't like to drive with "bumper-to-bumper " style , while i like to drive "smoothies " style , because the SUZUKI SWIFT are means for "smooth"

untill now i still wonder why some of the drivers like you all did run up to 175KM/h ??  are this is sure it can run that fast ?
cause i remember when i bring my Car back to 1st service , the technical people say that it can easily goes up to 170KM/H .. and i cannot believe this .

so far i know that if youwere driving with "D" gear , 2K RPM can run up to 80KM/H    ,  while 3K RPM can go up to 120KM/H  .

then i never run beyound 3K RPM , so i dun know what is the speed of 4K , 5K , 6K RPM
can some1 advise on this .

i oso reached my swift to 180km/h b4, a few times at highway d..but believe it can go further although meter is showed only up to 180km/h la...

hrm, sad thing...my swift kena bang yesterday when came back fr teluk intan....gonna send to workshop n re paint lo..accident, wat to do...

is it true that there are only 2 dealers in KL? one in bangsar and one in pandan indah?
any good offers for swift now? can recommend someone to me?
thanks

what happens when your remote ran out of battery or rosak? same thing la with keyless, you use the metal key loh.

if ppl want to grab your keys also can. liddat you say all la....

A smart driver will always never let it's car not be locked right (you can choose to lock it with the remote / keyless thingy)? if you are just using the the function of "far enough from" the car then i think you are just asking for trouble.

any SCM members here???
luv my car...

average FC = rm70 petrol 350km-400km (town drive most of the time)

handling = better den alot of other cars in 70k price range (abit floaty wit ori rims n shocks) in 70k price range for new car , u tell me wat car is not floaty on high speed?

boss, i wonder hw u get 550km for rm70 petrol? is around 13 cent per km???

for me , to get the meter reading of 12km/L Avg is no problem (mix city+Hwy)..  that's like RM0.15 per KM..

for constant cruising at 80-90km it could sustain 20km/L.. if really feather footed and want to save fuel..

Hi ppl, do u think it's worth paying another 6 k for the premier range with the extra of bodykit, v kool and leather seat? Haven't seen a real swift premier..

ridox,

My car's fuel consumption is pretty bad, the display read 8.8 km/l no matter how light I press the pedal. More like RM 50 for about 200-250 km. Mileage is about 5.5k and city driving mostly and up and down hill. What's yours?

where can i buy the car remote battery in penang...not the keyless 1....the 1 with the key itself - 1st generation 1

been to few places in pg island...none got the battery

it's model is CR1620

yea,i feel this car eats fuel.even if i drive slow.

anyway,anyone had trouble with the alignment ?if i don't hold the steering it will move to the left.already service it,still the same but a bit better.

Does anyone else have this alignment problem and the knocking sound prob? is it a common swift problem?
