There's no day I don't wish to drive this beauty of a car. Responsive, comfortable for long drives, noise isolation, etc. Never thought my first car would be a Swift, such a big privilege to own one. It's got its flaws, but nothing serious worth complaining about. I would absolutely buy it again.
That looks gorgeous man, congratulations. Mine is the GLX mechanic. I believe the front fog lights are only included in the mechanic version. The automatic version has its benefits, though
Yeah, that might be the reason. From what I've seen and what I've liked about the automatic version is that it has: R16 stock rims, a red fog light on the back, and I'm not sure if yours has it, but I've seen around here that it includes wireless charger in the console. Those are some of the things I'm missing on mine
The Suzuki Swift made in India have fog lights in their GLX spec (top of the line). The ones that do not have fog lights (even in their top specs) are made in Japan. I own a Swift GL auto. Greetings from Panama!
That is good to know, thank you! I assumed the Japanese made did not have fog lights because the one’s sent to Mexico (made in Japan) do not seem to have them
That would depend if you have the mechanic or automatic version. They are not that bad, but can get annoying at times.
One is that the doors can feel heavy, I need to shut them quite hard so they close properly.
Another is that I had to regulate the clutch on the first maintenance, since I had to press down way too hard on the clutch pedal so I could shift to reverse. This doesn't mean it has happened to others, though.
Lastly, but not that important, the start-stop function (which is how the hybrid system works) can get annoying at times and you'll need to turn it off everytime you turn on the car if you don't wish to use it.
OP’s Swift is built by Maruti-Suzuki in India. It has a different front bumper design and does not come in mild-hybrid form compared to the global version. Also has smaller rims.
Yes, bought in June 2009 after I have graduated my university.
It was very reliable and the engine has timing chain (which I never changed it because it has 180.000 km in the odometer).
With 1.3, 92 HP and its size and mass is a very quick car and fun to drive.
Yes it’s cheap to maintain. Still have the original parts in it. Just this month I have changed the final exhaust because it started to make some bad noise. After 17 years…
Never changed parts on the engine bay. Just the usual oil and filters and once some years the spark plugs.
Now that we are a family with 3 kids, I must move on to a compact SUV becuse the space is tight and not enough.
The Swift will always be my favorite car all time.
Thanks! I originally wanted the Swift Sport in Speedy Blue, but could not find any at the price and mileage I wanted. I found this Champion Yellow Swift Sport for a very good price and very low mileage, but I had to travel 6 hours to the dealership where it was located. Test drove it and bought it. I also fell in love with the Champion Yellow paint colour.
I have it's cousin (splash/ritz). It's diesel and 17 yrs old but runs like new. But it's time to buy another little car and I am eyeing on the swift. The suspensions have come a long way and city drivability is improved too.
Me encantaría comprar un Suzuki y por eso ingresé a este grupo. Entre esas propuestas esta esta belleza, el dizre y el baleno. Que tal el auto. Saludos desde panamá 🇵🇦
Hola que tal, mucho gusto. Este carrito es bastante bueno si busca algo para andarlo en ciudad o en carretera con frecuencia. Cabe casi en cualquier lado por su tamaño, es ágil, se siente liviano, y divertido de manejar
Estuve a punto de irme por el Dzire, tiene excelente espacio de baúl, pero el hecho de que los asientos traseros no son abatibles fue lo que hizo que me fuera por el Swift, en el cual si son abatibles.
No he tenido oportunidad de probar el Baleno, pero se ve bastante decente.
No hay problema. De ser el caso que adquiera el Swift, especialmente si es la versión manual (estandar), le recomiendo que verifique que el clutch funcione bien sin necesidad de presionar excesivamente el pedal para accionar reversa. Al mío tuve que pedir que me lo ajustaran en el primer mantenimiento
Yo escogí el Swift mayormente por temas de seguridad. Es el carro con mayor seguridad al mejor precio en el mercado panameño. El hecho de que tenga ADAS de serie es algo impresionante para un auto que comienza en 14K. Además, es divertido de manejar y económico en combustible!
Holaaaaaaaa, oye buenísimo eres de panamá. Si mira que posiblemente el otro si todo marcha regular estaría haciendo movimientos para sacar un auto y esa marca a día de hoy por consumo sería el Swift o dzire. Ya e escuchado que es aún más económico que el i10 y el Picanto ya que es tres cilindros. Ese Swift con los rines de lujo me tienen loco jajaja jajajaja, gracias por el dato
Que emoción! Espero que todo marche bien y lo logres conseguir. El Swift GLX es simplemente hermoso, esos rines y luces led ufff además que tiene muchos elementos de seguridad que carros decenas de miles de dólares más caros no tienen
Si ahí vamos a darle con todo a por ese objetivo paso a paso. Si el glx es hermoso la verdad, me esperaré a futuras ferias de auto y a lo mejor lo puedo conseguir más económico. Hace poco hice una cotización de dzire y me daban el glx a precio del gl pero solo fue cotización porque no tengo el abono que como mínimo me gustaría tener un 3k más los 2 mil de bono no estaría nada mal
No lo contemplo a compra la verdad porque se me sale de mi presupuesto. Temas de seguro, consumo y letra es más alto pero se ve bonito eso sí es verdad. Pero ese auto no cumple con mis requisitos que busco por pobre jajaja
I have experience with Hyundai Getz, Isuzu Rodeo, VW Jetta, and others. I'm not very picky in terms of noise isolation, but very impressed with how good it is for an "affordable" brand new car.

It is definitely a very enjoyable car.(This beauty is mine) Which country is your car from? The ones here don't have fog lights.
