Heard bout d 1.3 Swift many times before. Seriously looking fwd to it especially if manual.

To existing 1.5 Swift owners be it CBU or CKD, this junior version should not affect d resale value at all. Otherwise, practically no one would be looking at Swift Sport, rite?

Anyway doubt d performance would b a close fight. If not mistaken the 1.3 block is a generation behind d current VVT unit, rite?

Fifth Gear did a review on this Swift. It is really well received. Personally, I like the Suzuki Swift Sport but the prob is that it has 4 doors and darn pricey (well it is supposed to be cheap)

helo guy n gal, dust anyone noe the suzuki swift engine VVT DOHC is running on timing chain or timing belt ..? and hw many type of bodykit can choose from when buy premier package ?

True for normal Swift. Swift Sport has more HP compared to both though.

Swift Sport cannot use RON95. Recommended is RON98. Heard can use the RON97.

Swift is heavier than vios and city, right?
Plus it comes with 15" rim.. Maybe that's the reason to be underpowered compare to those 2...

Heard from the SA that the Swift 1.5 VVT engine is actually a Toyota engine. Not sure true or not.

No they are using their own engine. Toyota is not the one who came up with VVT.

Hi all, Sorry to interrupt. mind if someone can share opinion on Suzuki swift..

btw, i'm looking for a new car; I'm not into 'racing²' kinda person, just wanna a small & good looking car, hence k-car would suit me best. Suzuki swift is one of my options.

Question is;
1) in term of maintenance & services; does the spare-part always easy get?
2) under normal circumstances; does this vehicle easy to maintain? less problem? any market-claim before? (esp for CKD one)
3) fyi, I'm just a normal salary guy, no side-income, 1 years working. does I'm 'day-dreamer' aim too high to afford this car ?

Kindly advise. Thanks in forward

p/s: 2nd option might be viva or myvi

This car has low maintenance, service every 10k. I don't think it is underpowered, but you certainly need to rev it a little, power suddenly comes all of a sudden after about 2.5k. Before that, acceleration seems slow.

Yeah, it seems the car is a little heavy, that's what u feel when you drive it.

guys, do you know where to get the best deal for suzuki swift 1.5 A/t?

thanks

btw, i saw the coollent is green colour .. can i noe wat type of brand is d coollent and can it change to red collent like d other toyota vios or honda or myvi ..?? any idea ..

1) spare part is okay. not to say very cheap.

2) yes it is easy to maintain. but you also have to take car of your car well la. No problems with CKD, but try to not drive behind a lorry, our windshields have a defect. if you are one of the unlucky ones. DO insure your windscreen. Its due to the car shape.

3) This car will serve you well. Interest rate very low.

That is if your using really good oils. If you really love your car, and wanna take care, service every 5km also can. Yes it is heavy at first.

ya, i do agreed with this...before 2500 rpm, acceleration is damn slow...but once hitting around 3000rpm, u will feel de ooohmss...

previously, i really felt my ckd swift is like under power...but after my major service (40k km), walao eh, damn shiok la...i feel is much much more powerfull...i nt sure is those technician tune it or is it because i change to ron95???

Ron95 give me a smoother ride but power-loss..
Ron97 is the same like the previous one just more expensive..

My swift okay but sometimes slow and sometimes can feel more torque..

r there anyone here r from swiftclub ..? i got a question here to ask ..
ok, is like that i wan to register i got a prob wit tis metter and dono wat to write ..? any member from swiftclub here can guide me ... thankue very much ..
