Expert opinion on buying an Aqua 2015/Swift RS 2017

[HafeelK]

Hi Experts,
 

Need your opinion on buying a Swift RS 2017 or either a Aqua 2015 which has less mileage. (10k-15K). Wanted to know how much this should ideally cost & the repercussions or drawbacks if I do purchase it.
Both the good & bad would do.
Please do let me know at your earliest so I can make this investment.

Aqua is actually a good car, Powertrain is well built and does really well in fuel(11-13 in heavy traffic, 15 in city limits and 20+ outstation), Car sits really low for aerodynamics so you are going to hit potholes and speedbumps with a screetch every now and then, Specially if you have a bodykit you need to get the lower lips with a rubber lining. Comfort wise its not bad, front seats are ample but the back seat legroom is a little poor and even the roof is a little low so tall people might be just missing their head on the back roof. The cooling systems are great and even the fact that most imported ones were in the good grades came with headlight washers, LED headlamps, Push start, multifunction steering etc..  Only drawback personally is that the car needs regular maintenance to make sure it runs smooth and well and this costs a bit more. Furthermore, acceleration is a little poor in hillysides and sometimes feels sluggish on overtaking unlike in petrol cars. But overall a good choice. Market price ofc has plummeted for this car and mostly over the fear of high maintenance and unreliability for some models related to HV issues. But finding a good car will not be that hard. 

Swift RS is actually a much more feature packed choice. It comes with tons of more features like 4way camera, brake assit etc.. also with paddle shifters and a sleek interior. The turbo engine is a good advantage on fuel economy as well as performance but dont expect it to work as well as a r34 skyline. Havent bought one or used one to comment well but other owners would elaborate. test driving did feel good though. not sure which one is more responsive and snappy but aqua does come with a 1500 cc engine.

How much do you think is a reasonable price for a 2015 Aqua G Model low mileage in that case?
