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. This post has been edited by mitsui16: Apr 15 2008, 09:33 AM |

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... |

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   |

QUOTE(iRonTech @ Apr 15 2008, 03:14 PM) 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 |

standard suzuki swift is only 1.5 .... build quality really depends on luck....got quite a number of swift owners that have problems with the car....look up for it at motortrader or suzuki swift club website.....my sis has a swift too....just bought not long ago.....reverse sensor spoil liao and petrol cap cant close properly after few months...but this are just minor problems la....important thing is their after sales service is good

QUOTE(iRonTech @ Apr 15 2008, 11:43 AM) how the differences btw CKD/CBU built up? The Suzuki sales men told me difference is the CKD still retain 90% of its parts from Japan while the 10% item like rubber, windscreen glass, floor mat, etc... are from malaysia. Of cause they have an assembly plant in Msia as well la(4got where). dats how they manage to bring down the price a little.I have been sourcing a 2nd hand unit for quite sometimes. Dun buy any swift selling above RM55K for 2005. It is overpriced. If they wanna trade, used car dealer is only taking it in less than RM50k. If u insist to buy, then better dun  ohh.... *unless the condition of car and milage is vy good. This post has been edited by mitsui16: May 19 2008, 04:00 PM |

suzuki swift owner reporting in...well jus get my blacky CKD on 28/2, driving for bout 2 months d...very happy with it...good handling le...
bout FC, i can said is much more heavy comparing same class 1.5 like vios and city....1st thousand km, is take me bout 18-19cent/km le..(town driving)...nw mine is bout 8k++ d, city+highway, cost me around 16cent/km... swift is 4 auto, D->3->2-L....so if u drive by D, sure is underpower, coz the rpm is keep btw 2k-3k rpm.....so when driving around town area, my advice is push to 3, u wont feel it was underpower, then when on highway, push it back to D after 110-120km/h, it will save a lot of FC. personally, i prefer swift vs city (vtec)....when i drove my sis city, i feel hatchback is much more stable and good cornering....honestly speak, 72k is worth for it... |

QUOTE(limyusiong @ May 19 2008, 06:45 PM) suzuki swift owner reporting in...well jus get my blacky CKD on 28/2, driving for bout 2 months d...very happy with it...good handling le... cheers for ur swift... bout FC, i can said is much more heavy comparing same class 1.5 like vios and city....1st thousand km, is take me bout 18-19cent/km le..(town driving)...nw mine is bout 8k++ d, city+highway, cost me around 16cent/km... swift is 4 auto, D->3->2-L....so if u drive by D, sure is underpower, coz the rpm is keep btw 2k-3k rpm.....so when driving around town area, my advice is push to 3, u wont feel it was underpower, then when on highway, push it back to D after 110-120km/h, it will save a lot of FC. personally, i prefer swift vs city (vtec)....when i drove my sis city, i feel hatchback is much more stable and good cornering....honestly speak, 72k is worth for it... u may start to run a swift club here oledi... |

Swift is more for young bachelor to enjoy driving around for pleasure in handling and performance (SSS), so who cares if the rear space is cramp ? Want space get a big butt MyVi with handling and performance that can never match a swift la (stock car)

Aiyoh swift is designed for those for value driving more than anything else, it really is the bes handling car for below 100k, those city/vios/altis/sentra totally cannot match it. The swift sport i haven't drive b4, some said it's suspension is too hard, and the engine kinda weak when low revs, dunno how true is that

just test drove the Suzuki Swift, so smooth lah the car. very comfortable.
i think, personally, its a good 4 seater car, unless all your friends big in size. i'm 6 feet tall and i thought the back of the car was just nice, i mean no space to relax and stretch legs la, but for short distance i guess it would be fine. Power wise, i think its not bad, actually i floor the pedal only and the car felt like no power, but didn't realize that the speedometer going above 100kmp/h hahaha i think im gonna get this car man, it'll do for now, unless some jacka$$ decides to raise the fuel price again come August (that's when i'm planning to buy) This post has been edited by [Raven]: Jun 30 2008, 09:32 PM |

if I knew the shiity quality of CKD honda, I would have bought the CBU swift sports... my only question is can it beat the civic in straight line performance... civic 0-100 = 8 sec (pressing the brake and launch @ 3k maybe = 7sec some idiot try it, I dare not...) civic top speed is 220kph but on corner the swift sure win no doubt...

Just get the car regardless of CKD or CBU. The handling really rocks better than the car above its segment.
Haven't try the SSS though  |

truth b told ... if i had an extra 30k .. sure id buy the sports .... but no i dont .. and many as well do not ..
its clear case of .. who can afford to buy a swift sport and who can afford to buy the normal one.. its not whether we want to buy the normal one or swift ... its what we can afford ......... handsdown everyone will buy the sports ..... provided they can spend that extra 30k. up to u to think paying extra 30k is alot or little ... its alot to me Added on July 2, 2008, 12:21 am QUOTE(limyusiong @ Jul 1 2008, 11:27 PM) clarification and justification plz....dude, no everyone so "RICH" like u, CKD and CBU is talking bout diff of 20k++...but mayb u breakdown to monthly installment is onli diff bout 40 dollars....anyway, i rather to use tat 20K++ for other things....just my 2 cent... anyway ... diff is not 40 dollars a month ... i calculated before ... more like extra 500 a month ...at least, CKD stil meet my personal requirement. i earn a decent pay ... and 500 a month i can spend on my monthly petrol/toll This post has been edited by yeahh: Jul 2 2008, 12:21 AM |

I just went to test drive the Swift yesterday. Was thinking of selling my Fiat Coupe and buying this now that petrol prices make fast driving a luxury. I can say that the handling for the Swift is definitely better than the Coupe though obviously it isn't quite as fast.
Here's a question on the Swift Sport - does anyone know how much extra power a supercharger will add to it and how much it will cost? |

hmm...just to note to some of the owners here, the first service should be 1000km, 2nd service 5000km, third service 10000km.
4th service and so on will be after 10000km intervals. (this applies to CKD units, not sure about CBUs) This post has been edited by jupitanz: Jul 14 2008, 05:02 PM |

And no, i dont drive below 90km/h. Everyday Ill go around 130km/h. Acceleration wise, i would say it is not superb, but its not that bad. Plus, the pickup gets better after your first service.

CKD swift is all auto, no manual.
limyusiong - r u driving on D or 3? I think if all city driving will consume more. But nonetheless, you might want to get it checked at your next service |

Ah thanks again jupitanz, i'm seriously thinkin about the SSS, there a unit just arrived in the showroom. Do you think the SSS fuel consumption vs the 1.5 swift a lot of difference under normal everyday driving condition?

Added on July 27, 2008, 7:01 pm QUOTE(mitsui16 @ May 19 2008, 03:57 PM) The Suzuki sales men told me difference is the CKD still retain 90% of its parts from Japan while the 10% item like rubber, windscreen glass, floor mat, etc... are from malaysia. Of cause they have an assembly plant in Msia as well la(4got where). dats how they manage to bring down the price a little. I have been sourcing a 2nd hand unit for quite sometimes. Dun buy any swift selling above RM55K for 2005. It is overpriced. If they wanna trade, used car dealer is only taking it in less than RM50k. If u insist to buy, then better dun ohh.... *unless the condition of car and milage is vy good.  why not worth to buy??This post has been edited by night killer: Jul 27 2008, 07:01 PM |

after driving for a month. i started to get bored with this car. noo acceleration!! everyday driving only 80-90kph. previosly driving my mom's honda odyssey, use to drive at lease 100kph to 140kph. can easily reach 160, but with this car, 110 also susah to reach!
handling wise its superb. as for FC, first full tank 520km and each time i pump 80 got 335km , 385km, 375km and 355km . driving for a person like me living in kota kemuning and studying in subang. average meter got 12.6km/l |

With that sort of driving style bro...it's no wonder u hit 23 cents per km.
If you wish to improve that pick up, you would need to mod the obvious... open pod+xos system+engine oil+ lightweight rims most optimum speed for good FC averages around 90kmph, specially for 1.5s and below. |

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 |

the double exhaust with factory standard sporty kit is a suzuki swift sports 1.6.
those double exhaust set it apart from the standard 1.5 swift. lately, lots of swift owner start to modify their car. only the trained eyes will be able to spot the different! |

Sigh, why no manual for the normal suzuki swift. A manual will be the solution to the underpowerness of the car.
Btw, how heavy is the car arr? Looking for a small and light car now. I guess we should all start pushing for manufacturers to bring in more superminis. Gone are the days of huge sedans with large engines. Mazda 2 anyone? Any idea when it'll be launched here? contemplating between mazda 2 and suzuki swift. Mazda 2 is slightly ahead though due to it's lightness and manual tranny. |

The car weights about 1030 kg, +/-
There is a manual swift available, but you pays higher fuel bills and 20k extra for the car... XD |

Went to mofaz a few days later to get them to look at my wiring, and the same black swift was there. had a good look at the wreckage along with most of the other customers there.. i think the whole engine or at least 70% of it was missing, no bonnet etc left lol. but the passenger doors and compartment seemed to be ok. |

wanna ask forumers opinion
yesterday i went to used car dealer at penang green lane area, saw one swift, the seller quote the price rm60k, it is CBU unit 2006 model (if not mistaken come with leather seat). interest rate around 4.5% for 7years while for 9 years around +/-4.8% when calculate with a little bit downpayment (around 5k), for 7 years will cost rm892 while the 9years around rm740 (around that price)... my question, izit for year 2006 model around that price or shud be cheaper? n when compare to new swift ckd, for 9years plan, the monthly payment also around rm730-740, so if this case which one better, new CKD or 2nd hand CBU? the seller said, the CBU alot2 better..but the new CKD if not mistaken come with rm1500petrol voucher n hv warranty summore. whats the real diff between CBU swift n CKD swift (aside from one from Jap, one locally assy) in terms of specs, accessories? thanx  |

well me wife just bought one about a month ago and there doesn't seem to be a problem with the car.. it's really value for money.. RM71k on the road... it's a nice compact to drive around.. i find the suspension a little stiff, but it's a short wheel base car.. so that's expected... in terms of fuel economy.. it's pretty decent... we get around 11-12km per litre with frugal driving
it's a good purchase and works well for a daily driver... my current car's been spending more time at home than on the road... the swift's a good bargain and value for money... bought our's from aiman motors in bangsar.. good all in one outlet.. has a sales centre and service centre as well... oh yea.. we didn't opt for the petrol vouchers.. instead we went for the lower interest rate of 2.85% with eon bank |

i think that 2.85% is within limited time onli.
i was offered pretty much the same with eon bank by one SA at Sunway Carnival Mall penang. the offer was either 2.85% or cash rebate which i cant remember how much. there were quite alot freebies thrown, including A PERFUME!!!! |

the car is very good but the after sales services for those service center is the worst i ever meet.
if u r buying 1 pls consider the services 1st and also the hard time to get 2nd hand parts. As the car is new u can hardly find parts for it...other than the glass and if your r in KL if not u will nid to wait for them to kourier from KL... btw does any1 know any good suzuki services center overhere. FYI,pls do not go to MOFAS damansara...really useless.. |

Guys, trying to find a buyer for my swift. It's a red CKD 2008 model, accident free with low mileage. Bought it from Aiman motors Bangsar in May 2008, has only been lightly driven by my gf as I am normally on site with my company car.
Reason for sale: going overseas soon. Relatively urgent sale, asking RM63800 neg. anyone interested can ring up on 012-6221637. please ring up instead of sending sms. if you can afford a swift i'm sure you can afford the phone call cost. |

QUOTE(arenara @ Jan 22 2009, 02:31 AM) Excuse me.. the oem audio system for suzuki is from CLARION. I also have the audio basic manual excuse me, before this im working with Sanyo.Infact in the UK the got option to upgrade to touch screen type ICE from the same brand name they have a lot of suzuki oem's audio system (normal swift n sport version). so i knew, sanyo is the one that produce the audio system. even, sanyo is the biggest supplier for Suzuki audio system and dell battery pack (laptop) for UK spec, maybe la it came from clarion. maybe SUZUKI sub-con to few audio makers. Added on January 26, 2009, 6:41 pm QUOTE(ridox_orimabu @ Jan 23 2009, 02:00 AM) sanyo...clarion..wow..that is one big difference. for oem not much diff. they have to make sure it below certain cost.This post has been edited by squall_kay: Jan 26 2009, 06:41 PM |

Nice car. Are you going to mod it like the picture in your signature? I think the Swift Premier is very pretty itself, looks better than the Swift Sport IMHO, don't need to mod. The rims are not big and wide enough tho. What do you think?

I don't know much about rims and tyres, but something wider and of bigger diameter with slim tyres would be great.

Bigger rims and thinner tyres look better, but you'll lose comfort and not to forget getting higher fuel consumptions beside changing your tyres earlier than you used to be.

yeah..n i try not to follow they trend. hahaha~
but agree on u on most point... gear,ice feels nice. brake not sure..maybe my satria last time very loose n weak..so suddenly switch to swift...the brake is ok for me..in fact, its so ok! haha its kinda pricey..for a ckd hatch.. but, now i fed up with proton, moving on to JDM. but, this is not a car to be settle down with..not many option to upgrade the power too..unlike satria..mcm2 ada! so, i would jaz go easy on the mod.. that manual mod..ntah la..its 8k u know. hahahahah! crazy!

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 only reach 160km..but that was intended. it still can go..but dun wanna try..coz, the more top speed u reach, the faster the engine wil tear..even if its a JDM machine. i leave the 200km/h mark to my satria. haha swift, jaz bwk jln2 mcm biasa aje..
btw squall kay, the bodykit cost me Rm2000. so total around Rm73+++. but i think i get rebate around Rm3k..coz its the 2008 model instead of 2009..n i ordered it on the 15th Jan.. normally they will only give u Rm1.5k of rebate..but that promotion already ends.. thats y u only get Rm800 rebate... but no worries, our Swift is capable of doing 180km/h.. jaz make sure u dun do that before ur first service.. coz the oil ntah dah baper lama dlm keta tu.. jaz now i kene Rm136.60, for first service at Aiman bangsar... the duration about half n hour... quite fast... n i belief my FC will improve further after this.. lots claim that Swift jimat minyak too. |

ok thanks.
i went and check out the dealer at pandan indah. only offer 1.5k discount for the 2009 model. the keyless entry is cool but like others, i wish it was a push button. how much more costly will it be to implement that right.... |

why do you think its unsafe, its actually safer especially for women. no need to dig for keys. you press once, it only opens the driver side, press twice, it opens all doors.

for me Rm40= 2 days = from segambut to OU ulang alik. now thats high.
but if u drive a bit like a normal person n maintain below 100, the fc would be impressive. rm40 can save up to 4-5days given the same situation i gave above. |

Hi Guys!
Just wanna share this. I've got my Swift CBU since end of 2005. Past2-3yrs or so have been using Shell V-Power. Last Saturday the car's emission warning light (wh looks like an engine). Brought it to SC immediately. Been told that my emission sensor at the exhaust manifold detected too high emission n tis was caused by V-Power fuel. resetting the sensor only off the light for a moment n it came back on. Started to use regular fuel now n hoping that the sensor will correct itself. Mechanic said FC will be slightly higher since the sensor is not functionin properly. If after 2 weeks still no changes, I may need to change the sensor which is more than RM500. Beside this, my car has been problem free. So u guys may think twice the next time u fill up with V-Power. Cheers! |

oh so sorry. it's been a habit of mine u see. since GUNDAM 00 already finish its second season, i tend to put all the MAX word n related it with TRANS AM. Trans Am means, super duper output that a normal gundam can't cope with. haha it makes it triple fast too! ahh crap...i did it again.
anyway, v-power are advisable like once a while. I'm amaze that you can actually fuel in ur swift all the way with v-power. That is crazy! but nice! haha |

LOL, I don't understand for the need of high cc engines.
I drove back to my hometown for Ching Ming last Sunday morning carrying a total of 5 ppl on it and I can easily go up to 140-160 with a light step on the accelerator. I can keep up with the large cars easily and I'm pretty happy with it. Does anyone really drive in excess of 160 km/hr? Where are you rushing to? Added on April 1, 2009, 10:42 pmIn fact, I slow down all the time because scared kena AMBUSH by our KOPI LOVER POLICES! Added on April 1, 2009, 10:44 pmThe fuel consumption panel reads 8.4 km/l. I think that's a pretty high FC. Can anyone enlighten me on this? It's an auto version with about 2.3k km done. I thought it is supposed to have a very low FC along with the Honda City and Toyota Vios? This post has been edited by GEFORCEXTREME: Apr 1 2009, 10:44 PM |

well iis true that this car was been built for highway ussage , the reading panel 8.4KM/I should be consider as makan minyak ,
because you are running at 8.4KM per petrol Litter . for me normally i will try to maintain 18-23KM per litter . 5 ppl can easy go up to 140-160 ~~ very fast loh ~~ i think u ram-up the engine to 4.5K RPM ???? because is 5 people ~ |

Hmmm, I think it locks automatically when you close the doors and tried to start the engine and press the brake because that's how I start the car engine and it locked the door. I don't remember excactly how but more of less like that.
Added on April 2, 2009, 8:49 amlol, 18-23 km/l is it even possible? How slow do you go? This post has been edited by GEFORCEXTREME: Apr 2 2009, 08:49 AM |

like that ar? havet to press first? aiya...
the door will lock once u hit the brake. most people claim swift is jimat minyak..that one becoz they all drive below 100 or even maintain 80km/h only. drive like org tua baru boleh jimat minyak. |

I drive an SX4 X-over, my FC meter shows 11.5km/l on average.
On clear city road, maintains 100km/h, on PLUS highway 140 - 160km/h. I thought Swift has better FC than SX4. This post has been edited by c9: Apr 2 2009, 04:02 PM |

its 1.6. not sure whether it eats more than swift.. coz its bigger rite? n heavier. maybe have the same fc. seriously, my FC even tho i drive maintain D all the way 60-80km/h also cannot jimat. segambut to hartamas ulang alik also sudah 1 bar kecik.
but if u all put it to D-3, it will have a better consumption i guess. since the car feel much more lighter and smooth compare to D. |

The back interrior is small but I really can't comment because I'm always the driver.
All I know is that eventhough it is a small car, it is super steady at high speed, quite powerful too. =) |

compared to saga,vios,iswara n wira..swift leg room is smaller. but compare with myvi, swift leg room is way smaller! haha. but here's the thing. last time i used to ride my fren's swift. n most of us are above 180cm tall. 4 into the car, no prob. but when it comes to 5 person, that would be abit of a prob. its jaz not comfortable. but i can assure u, the leg room can be adjustable to fit even tall person. dunno bout jeremy clarkson tho. maybe he can used an amputable leg. LOL!
second now is around...55k above? i tink. go get it man! the name it self suits its ride comfort.

a cute, comfy little car, but parts are sometimes hard to get. Once i ask for the engine mounting to be changed and they said have to wait like 30 days ??? They say no one has any stock that time .

any swift owners find that the aircond is terribly not powerful enough? damn hot eventhough the temperature knob is almost the coolest level already
I doubt the compressor is using denso brand, though the salesman claimed it |

QUOTE(nxgame @ Apr 8 2009, 07:10 PM) SX4 are a little bit Bigger compartment if compare with SWIFT , but i still love my SWIFT , coz is quite resanable for 2 person car , maybe can try some adjustable shocks set..which can adjust the ride height..because now i feel that my REAR suspension a little lower and is get softer ~~ because all tis while i been use this as a family car where most of the time are travel with 5 person . and now feel regret why this SWIFT cannot trade as a family car in long run . can some1 sugess how much to replace the rear suspension ? or if any solution to tune back the suspension abit higher to the ground and make it "hard suspension" ?

Have you check from the workshop? Maybe it's due to pipe leakage or low gas or etc.

hi guys...
im asking on behalf of fren.. she wanna get a swift.. but new one is a bit expensive.. so looking for 2nd hand but unable to find any yet.. just to ask around.. are the spare parts expensive? maintenance and stuffs? any other cons i should be aware of? |

here is a simple fact regarding swift for those who consider buying it.
FC = moderate. dun expect to get an fc like myvi even tho they are in the same class (super mini).heavy foot..like me is very expensive...but light footer( not sure if ur fren can maintain the light foot skill) can expect a 450km to 500km for full tank ( full tank is RM76 i think..) Ride comfort = 4/5. The soft suspension give the swift a very comfort ride. However, if you go thru a short up n down hill kinda road, u'll get humpy all the way, it can make u go puke. Road handling = Good, very grip. Service cost = most likely if you calculate from total overall ( including the parts wher u need to fix in the first 2-3 years..which u won't coz swift is hardly a problematic car in the first place!) n compared to letsay...proton? yes..it would be cheaper in expenditure. Maintenance = a person with 2.5-3k of salary can easily maintain this car. Cons= minyak mcm hanjing kalo drive laju2,its auto only,(if u have the money, go for sports model) and expensive even for 2nd hand...now maybe around rm56-58k? depends on which year...try to look at Mototrader ok. The best thing i like about swift is its ride comfort, the audio system, the minimal sound u can hear when ur inside, n the smooth transmission. The worst part i dislike about this car is its small( but i still manage to fit in 2 tall guys n 1 small behind), the FC rate and....thats about it!

perhaps a better set of suspension can solve that |

QUOTE(ridox_orimabu @ Apr 23 2009, 09:11 AM) swifters always do that. actually im being unfair here comparing the handling to a sedan with fully independent suspension i really need to work the gearbox to bring out the full potential of the engine, if i leave it in D, it's rather sluggish and reluctant to down at certain times, brakes are good though This post has been edited by Beach_Boy: Apr 23 2009, 10:04 AM |

i always put it to D-3 instead of D. This is good for below 100km/h cruising. Can get better FC too.

well i guess the keyless works like this. As long as the key(remote) is anywhere near and in the range, the car sensor can detect it and you can start the engine and stuff. I guess you dont have to take out the key from the pockets or bags.

Anyway, do the people sitting inside suzuki swift feel unsafe? What I mean is this is a mini car....and it has no big boot so will the passengers feel unsafe and scare when they are sitting inside.

big doesnt always mean safe... even small Smart ForTwo able to achieve 4 stars NCAP rating.. its micro car btw...
Suzuki Swift also able to achieve 4 star NCAP. means that it is good car its size. |

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.. |

There is many premium around as far as i saw. But i dont think its worth that much though. Leather seat could get for Rm 2100 Vkool probably u could get other brand. Some dealer offer 3M right?

Looks like we have the same problem, lumyusiong...
I think I also get about 220 km/RM 50. I think for such a small small, it should be much higher. Btw, my car's mileage is about 5400 km. Added on June 3, 2009, 10:04 amLOL, I was wondering if we have M16A VVTi instead of M15A VVTi under our hood, if it is really so I wouldn't mind. I'm dreaming in broad daylight!!!

ghostshell,
They have only made some minor modification to the Swift early this year and their factory is newly setup. I believe the model will go on for another several years. |

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? |

helo,
need opinion from swift owners. how's this car reliablity wise? at first i am really impressed with the good reviews and some more even received good review from top gear and got many awards. so i decided to browse swift club forum for more info and was shocked to find there are many recurring issues eg. windscreen crack, car jerking, engine died, etc. so is it really bad? do most owners encounter the problems or the problem only exist in a few of very very unlucky owners? i am considering to buy car now but is spoilt for choice between suzuki and opt for more other reliable famous makes. the thing which made me consider swift is because the white swift is simply awesome and the accesories provided are quite rich compared to vios for the same price. so now need opinions from majority about the known issues. tenkiu |

untill now no problem at all , FC is RM60 around 390-420KM ~ ( should be around 15cent per liter petrol ) , but try few times already when only travel highway from KL - IPOH or CAMERON HIGHLAND and back , the FC can reach to 10cent per KM ~~ ) should be consider as good FC already ~~ but now i would want to know that how much per service for all the SUZUKI SWIFT owner , dun mind to share with me ?? cause i would be very budgeted to do car Services maintainence ~~ |
