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

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   |

QUOTE(iRonTech @ Apr 15 2008, 05:34 PM) its pro & con actually, see what is your need. OTR is around 72k, interest rate around 2.4%(Might get lower if your credit from bank is good)  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   , overall nice car to drive, but not really suitable for family of 4 due to not so comfortable back seats + small boot |

QUOTE(kb2005 @ May 3 2008, 05:21 PM) I thought CKD more expensive than CBU ? Who in their right mind will buy CKD version if it;s more expensive than CBU version? Only the swift sport 1.6 is CBU, the ordinary swift is CKD |

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

QUOTE(padisawah @ Jun 22 2009, 12:21 PM) helo, My sister got a swift, bought last year, i am very impressed with the assembly quality as well(Try to compare to VIOS or City then u will see the difference). Car is problem free as well, very stable at speed or corner, just the FC not as good as city/vios, won't regret buying this car as it's only about the price of a stripped out Vios J 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   |

QUOTE(Hawarizmi @ Sep 13 2009, 10:37 PM) btw 1.5 Swift CKD really can use ron95 ? underpower? Swift is a good long distance car, just for 2 front occupants another thing, understandable swift is very good car, but is good for long-distance run ? (KL-JB) fyi, I worked in JB, while my fiacee is in KL, like need to run-down to KL like twice or every once a month. p/s : Sorry, I'm very interested to own this car ever since it first launch 4 years back in Malaysia. Just need to know whether it really fulfill my need   , very stable car on highway, can easily do 150-160 without problem... Good car for single or small family, definitely not for those fetching ppl a lot(the backseat is not that comfortable) |

QUOTE(speedhunter @ Sep 27 2009, 07:14 AM) could it be that the backseat space is small due to make the bonnet more space?? (it is more spacious than myvi rite??) Go check the car at showroom yourself is better, i don't own myvi so no idea about the backspace |

QUOTE(batusaix @ Aug 29 2011, 04:54 AM) Hey guys, I'm considering getting a Vios at first. Then Swift came into my head while I'm browsing through the parts for Vios. U need to pump Ron97 with SS, kindly consider that carefully.. since Ron95 is only RM1.90 while Ron97 is RM2.80 After some reading, I'm so so so into swift now. As my budget was initially 70k+ (Vios J Manual), I'm looking at 1 of the 2nd hand SSSport (Manual). I can't live without a clutch lol. Just to ask you guy's opinion, 09 SSSport without any extras, in the stock stage letting go at RM7xxxx is it worth it? Because it is really hard to find a 2nd hand SSS with MT and I can't really get the common market price. |
