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!
*
no need train eye lor, just look at those 4holes rims lor, if 4holes it's not a swift sport.. and rear drum brake.

of coz, some people do convert them to 5holes Front+back disc brakes then harder to see casually... have to look at brake pedals, seats, interior dash board trim/fabric etc.

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"...
*
it's 4 forward gears, where the 4th is a Overdrive ratio.... biggrin.gif

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 ,

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" ?
*
maybe can try some adjustable shocks set..which can adjust the ride height..

I got a set of TEINS but did not install them yet.. no time to bring them to sunway to install..

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 .

true also.. I just changed my front brake pads, they said it's the last one they have there.. have to order more.. I was like wah lau!!??.. ohmy.gif

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..

Its really really hard to get 20km/l must be super super gentle. haha.. normally i could only manage around 20km/l just a while then it started dropping and average out about 17-18km/l only. Getting 20km/l for long period of time its a big achievment imo. haha
*
I think I reset the meter and went for 10kms at around 20km/l..then sien already cos quite boring biggrin.gif

it seems like the suzuki swift is really taking a lot of petrol...and the maintenance is quite high. There is not a lot on the road as we..
*
how come take lots of petrol? 12km/L is alot for mix city/hwy way driving? (if just cruise at 80-90kmh constantly can do up to 18-20km/L)

and my batch 08 , up to 50k free 5 times service.. so where got maintainence costs?

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?
*
wow..8.8km/L is quite bad.. I can get 12+km/L without trying..

I think something is wrong.. maybe rear brake pads stuck or something.. cause much friction to move the car? dunno..

8km/l reminds me of my previous A33 cefiro 2L..

may i know ur mileage? 12km/l really good. mine after 6k mileage, the best i can get 11.4km/l (penang town driving) with very careful driving. normal driving only 10.
4km/l. rm40 can give max 235km
*
oh.. you in PG.. so mostly is city roads consumption., mine is mix city and Hwy around 50:50..

but if can maintain 80-90kmh.. constant speed.. I think it will go to 19-20km/l.. brows.gif tried it over a 20-30km stretch after resetting the counter.. after that didn't bother cos very boring drive on the highway.. yawn.gif laugh.gif

milage is now around 40k (age 1.5years).. biggrin.gif

maybe your car engine still new? it may loosen up after 10-15k milage..

well you shouldn't compare the suggestion I made earlier, even though your car also 40k milage same as mine,.. I already said I'm mostly 50:50 hwy:city use.. and you are almost always city use.. so it's already different comparison to begin with..

Hi to all owner of Swifters:D

I'm planning to get a Swift too.the normal version..I have test drive before & also feel that the car GB acted very lazy to me. I know the power is there. is just that have to floor the pedal only..By the way, i test drive only in a housing garden area. I didn't test drive the car at highway because im living in Ipoh. so no highway for me to test drive & maximize the test drive unit of the Swift..

I also got a very attractive deal from a SA but is in KL one..He can offer me to register in Ipoh & collect my car in Ipoh but im wondering is he gonna drive my car from KL-Ipoh or he arrange my car to be collect in suzuki ipoh showroom..

The offer i got is rm3788 rebate with 3 years free service(parts & labour) or a direct RM5788 rebate but without free service..Interest rate is 2.75%..I think is the best deal around..

Now my problem is having difficulties in disposing my Naza Sutera 1.1 Manual..year 2006 one..I want to sell this car at 14-16k..they only take my car in for 11k+-...

play with the stick abit lor.. to get the rpm at the sweetspot

Hi guys, wondering if any of you guys can help me answering the below questions:

1. Do Suzuki Swift year 2008 has automatic retractable side mirror?
2. Do Suzuki Swift year 2008 has the keyless entry and start?

Was looking at Suzuki Swift year 2008 model. But clueless on the above. One thing for sure, the Suzuki Swift year 2008 I'm looking at doesn't have the side mirror indicators.

Thanks in advance
*
mine 08 no. i think there was a upgrade after i bought mine.. with LED side mirror and keyless entry

laugh.gif  That one consider exterior?
Not much diff exterior, I mean those sporty rear bumper, rear lamp etc.

That mean only the Swift 09 face lift with the LED side mirror only got keyless entry, auto ret side mirror and LED signal?

I thought the keyless entry is really cool!
*
keyless not so cool unless got push start button..
i believe the newer swift still have to turn the knob..

the exterior bumper on CC3 is nicer than the previous hikari one imho.. dun have 2 chrome rings at the buntut trying to look like twin exhaust

Added on August 28, 2011, 1:06 amoh cc3 got body colored rear wing, and side skirt.. since you wanted to know exterior looks.

anyway, one think also, interior, my 08 audio headunit different from those 2011 one..

Around 53-55K for the 08 model
09 around 63-69k which is 10k more. shakehead.gif
Found one 09 model selling for 54k. Too good to be true right?
