around 2-2.2 mil. i called some places and found that swift is going around 2.4-2.5 mil.but we are going to import a one from japan.so i think it will be less

i am sure importing it your self is the best way to go. i think suzuki is better in terms of maintenance and value for money for your budget.

the swift looks the best in my opinion,infact I think it's a gorgeous little car.

might be safer to stick with a conventional autobox here in SL as no ones seems to be able to mamange a decent enough oil change or maintainence on the CVT's without things going wrong

aren't majority of typically modern cars in colombo like corolla, civic etc. having CVT boxes? CVT is quite a bit ahead in terms of fuel econo compared to traditional auto boxes, so i recommend CVT to roy especially since he isn't going to buy a car used in SL but a car used in Japan.

difference is that between "discrete" and "continuous". i think CVT is better especially since u r not buying a locally used car.

[kalana]

thanks guys. i like manual than automatic.but if i couldnt find a good manual car(which is rare comparing to auto) i have to go for a auto.thats y i asked about CVT.ad i have another question.its about 1.3l and 1.5l model. this swift will be our family car and i am not an aggressive driver(most of the time ).so if 4 people is there and the river isnt aggressive, which model will have the better FC ? 1.3 or 1.5 ? thanks

Just though't I'd chip in, but isn't the 1.3L (Or 1.4 in europe) i-DSI engine supposed to return excellent fuel economy? A figure of 50mpg comes to mind when I was looking at one in England....

i really dont have any ideas about it.but most of the people says that 1.3l will be underpowered and it will F will be lower because the engine has to accelerate more to speedup.i welcome your opinions about this

I don't think there is be a big difference in the 1.6L and the 1.5L, also there are a few of these machines here in SL and is a definite head turner (the "Sport" i mean)

Go for a 1.5L, should give you more power than the 1.3L

Having driven a Swift HT15s, I should tell you the fuel consumption is not that great, only gave me 8-9kmpl so don't expect the car to be very good on fuel....... if FC is your main concern, a YOM 2007 VITZ would be a better option

[kalana]

@killer-B

8-9 kmpl in city ? with AC ? or what ?

[topgear]

the swift is most certainly a lovely drive! itz got ease of driving and sporty pleasure combined! the 1.3 is ok. My cousin has a car and I feel it is slightly underpowered. but I checked with the car full, 3 passengers + driver. so I guess it's ok. my cuz said with a full car, he felt a lil lag in pulling when going to nuwara eliya. I guess that is reasonable. so I'd say the 1.3 is also a good choice but for some1 who was a lil more power at their tips, the 1.5 or 1.6 sport might be ideal! btw, the 1.6 sport looks gorgeous!

Yeh i drive a HT51S as well n it aint that good coz you got a rev a bit to get upto speed. True the Suzuki Swift sport isnt that far away from the 1.5l Swift. The difference is only 20hp. I'm sure a litle tweaking to the ecu will generate that for you if needed. Theres a dude whos got a chipped swift sport producing 180 hp. Was in the papers recently.

My family's brand new 1.5l swift arrived from agents on friday. Will try to upload a pic of it. Was genuinely suprised by the high standards of the service provided by the agents, my dad even a fired off a letter of praise to the manager, and he is not easily impressed lemme tell u.

[kalana]

Lol Agents as in the official Suzuki agents in SL (A*W). I was only there for pickup, but according to my dad he said everything from purchase to handover was done in a timely and professional fashion.
