Maruti Suzuki Swift

I think Suzuki Swift is damn cute car… If only I could afford it. The only car which managed to make my heart beat faster ever since the Matiz disappeared from the scene…

Maruti Suzuki Swift

I am not talking about the Enzo Ferrari of course ;)

Dear Sir

I have purchased SX-4 VXI - BEARING CHASSIS NO 101094 AND ENGINE NO – 1226342 from Gulzar motors ltd form Ludhiana, Punjab in the month of April 08.
In the rainy season the water enters into the base of car making the carpets wet. The problem was shown to the dealer on dated19.06.08 and the floor was dismantled to rectify the problem. The side seals were allowing water to enter the floor of the car.

After rectification ,the problem still remains with the car and the complaint has been lodged with the dealer today again.

The problem with the car has frustrated me because of lowquality products made by maruti and low level of competence of the dealer and i have wasted lot of time for the job and has lost faith in maruti products.i cannot daily go to the dealer for such problems.

AFTER SPENDING HEFTY AMOUNT OF RS 7 LACS I FEEL I M DITCHED BY MARUTI AND SHOULD HAVE GONE FOR OTHER BRAND VEHICLE.

On the day of visit to the dealer special request was made to ED of the company at mobile no-9814081945 for thorough checking but the resultant outcome is very poor. On the same day the complaint was also lodged with Chandigarh office, since somebody was there the call was received at reception and i was assured that somebody will call from the maruti office and problem will be sorted out but till date i have not received even follow up call from your office even.

Under the current scenario i feel harassed and loST faith in the esteemed organization like maruti and have put a question mark on the products and services offered. I FEEL I SHOULD DO A GOOD WORK BY TEELING PEOPLE ABOUT THE QUALITY OF SO MUCH ADVERTISED CAR

Should such a vehical be ever produced or have major problem if no then what is quality control team doing at maruti and if by chance then it is not accepatable because at maruti nobody is allowed to play with the harderned money of the customer and his sentiments. Such vehicals are bought because of passion. And what is the follow up with dealer network.
I have made two written complaint to gulzar for discrepancy in the service for overcharging and deficiency but the outcome is nil. Should such dealerships continue to work.

A strict action in the form of replacement / redressel is awaited form your end.
SOME PHOTOGRAPHS ARE ATTACHED FOR YOUR REF.
Kindly expedite and revert on priority

With regards

By the way,got my car on 23rd Nov,within 6 weeks...Its a wonderful car and worth the efforts and the wait...

Hi,
I got my VXI booked on 13th Oct and was committed delivery by the end of the same month.I obviously was sure it wouldnot happen that way still followed up regularly with the dealer.It got on getting delayed and I just like that called up Maruti Grievance cell to ask for exact booking period and they confirmed it to be typically 4-6 weeks for petrol.I would suggest,have a word with customer care om either of the numbers,9910202020/01123325329/342 and ask about average booking period of your model.Convey the same to the dealer and tell him that if he is not able to provide,just let you know so that yuou can go ahead with the next best offer.I think it works this way only.

required for1.3 swift remapping in hyderabad

I have my Swift for 12 months now. Before the swift I have owned a Baleno for 7 years, the best car I have ever had, very confortable,practical, good in handling and on highways,and very economical.
In that seven years I have had a Mitsubishi Lancer, a Suzuki Ignis and a Suzuki Liana on lease also, right after eachother, The baleno was that best of all and better than the swift too.

I like the Swift for it's handeling and it is very economical but not as comfortable as the Baleno. I would suggest the Swift to anybody who is looking for a practical sporty and good looking car but if your looking for a car that will be comfortable for longer rides, i wouldn;t buy the swift.

I keep in consideration though that the baleno is a bigger car than the swift, but compared in capability on the road, they are very similar.

I'll be selling my swift soon unfortunately, I'll be going back to a bigger model and the 1st in line is the '08 Mitsubishi Lancer.

Amit, swift over to meet me in Feb 2007. I'll be in town after 21st.

Hi Guys,

i have driven the swift and its a killer shark when it comes to power(for a segment B/B+ car... quite less when compared to Skoda Octavia - a segment C+ car) and as smooth as butter. I luv this car and would certainly like to buy one( the silver or grey color) once the other higher priorities are done.

I have gone through a number of blogs about this car. I must say that the strategy used by other car makers deserves a applause. Their comments are negative and false about this car.

In all , I would say that this is the best car around. ( I'll wait till Chevrolet come up with their version of segment B cars if it is not too late). Guys/Gals test drive this baby and i'm sure u'll fall in love with this "European design, Japanese Enginnering , Audi Look-alike..... ( I guess the list goes on) .....

I booked a SWIFT Black Vxi on 8th june2005. Still I Have not received my Car. I am getting frustated at the waiting period And thinking of Buying another Car. Can anyone tell about the exact waiting period.

I have fall in love with this car...damn gorgeous....but the price should be a bit more lesser.....if it was for 4.0 I would have definitely bought it...

Got a Swift vxi azure grey delivered on 10th August (booked on launching day) had a problem in lock in the right front door since yesterday, visited twice Workshop B in kolkata near Sales Tax office and yet to repair the problem due to NON AVAILABILITY of PARTS. Mr. Ritesh took 3 days time to repair it. The parts should have been available here! My car will remain unlocked for 3/4 days. What a funny thing! Please expedite your process.

I had booked a swift Vxi on 20th july, inspite of being told that I will get the delivery after 5 months. Its high time that Maruti starts some online status check, where we, the customers, can check our status and can get to know an approximate date of our delivery.

I think Maruti has eaten more then they can chew. I Booked the car recently ( 1-2 months back). There is no check list or priority no.. There is some foul pay there. How come an ordanised company dosen't have any process.

On one hand they says they have 6 months order. Then why donot they stop booking for moment.

They can advertise the waiting period too. Dealers are making fool of consumers by giving false hopes, when ever one knows it may take 6-8 months.

Maruti Managment is enjoying the fun. They should realise that there compititors are watching & next round they are goining to be out of business.

Hi,
I booked the Swift on June 7th. The latest news I have is that it would be delivered between Oct 10th and Nov 10th. What the dealer is saying is that Maruti is releasing only 20 to 30 vechiles for an agency per month.
I very much feel this as a dirty marketing stratery from Maruti, they were giving lot of offers on all the other models.
As a side note, I dont find any negative notes about this car; but got some first hand thoughts from its users. The rear suspension is hard that its less comforable in bumpy roads. and the front seat is fixed low, even though there is enough head room. This effects the outside visibility as well as sitting comfort.
Did Maruti, while working on beautifing the vechile, did they put riding comfort in second place!!!

ultimate Car..I have already bought one,and planning to buy one more for my wife.The Car has impeccable style and very powerful...its a must buy product...
