there is a 630k price difference between those cars if i have to choose between them what to buy i don't buy any of them because there are many better cars at that price range you can buy.than a maruti suzuki swift and maruti a-star remember a car been a brand new is not make everything better just my two cents.

btw you can buy a proton saga(brand new) at that price range and it's a 4 door sedan not a hatchback like maruti a-star and maruti suzuki swift.

Hi nexus

Thanks, I check the car mentioned by you ( think this is the one you mentioned >> http://corporate.proton.com/Models/Saga-FLX.aspx ) and yes, its really nice

however what about FC on of it and who is the local agent ?

and what about the spare parts here in sri lanka

"kalana"

I think it is 2011 (according to A*W)

the agents for proton are swedish trading company and look at motorque episode 3 in it our own SN give a very good review of saga finding spare parts in colombo is not a problem afaik but in outstions it's hard to find spare parts.

here is the link to motorque episode 3

indian swift and alto have big difference when compared with japanese one even though indian ones comes brand new.

1. suspension - indian suspensions are too rigid and therefore experience is closely resemble to a three wheeler

2. cheap low quality plastic interior

3. corrosion comes to door locks and interior metal elements easily

4. lots of noices after 2 years of use in sri lanka

i had bad experience three years ago with maruti alto. same thing experienced in maruti swift car purchased by my friend.

According to few reviews Saga hit around 10 - 15 kmpl ( http://paultan.org/2...ve-impressions/ )

Is this the real story ? any idea about FC ?

Thanks

According to few online review, I have learnt that there are two types of indian Swift . "maruti swift" and "maruti Suzuki swift"

Is this correct ? If yes, then your comment related to which one ?

Its possible. My dad's Personna hits a over 12 combined city and outstation, tho most running is city. (8,0l per 100km) and this is essentially the same engine. Less displacement countered by a lighter car. Of course, it will depend heavily on the load you run, with that smaller engine.

Of course, the Personna is still new, just topped 6000kms recently. So gotta see if it can maintain the number in the long run.
