Hey Geek a very hearty congratulations from my side, finally you got the best car of the rest, this engine is better then the SX4's anyday.

no tilt steering, no 40/60 folding seats, no proper cubby holes, no defogger, no wiper even for rear, common maruti, havent you cut too much off the car???
You bet Geek, this is the height of cost cutting i would say.

central lock probably and a few other nick nacks
Central Locking is there in your car.

one thing i was advised against is that i should not install a different horn for swift. jaggu whats your take on this? have you installed a new horn? the horn installtion looks to be very cumbersome as its somewhere deep inside the bumper area.
Who ever said that? I must say the Swift horn is pathetic, i have installed windtone horn successfully in my VDi. There is no space so the installer went about the installation thru the left tyre and installed it behind the front bumper(left side) and the diesel already has a horn relay whereas the petrol doesnot. Highly recomended you go in for a after market horn and trust me whoever advised you not to knows nothing about horns. Will cost you around Rs. 500

i know there are parking sensors and all that, but i have no clue how much it would cost and what it would look like.
Will cost you around Rs.3000, the rear windscreen doesnot let you see adequately so the mirrors are quite big on the sides. If you want you can go in for reverse cam with screen will cost you around Rs. 7000

You might also want to upgrade your headlamps, I did them on day one itself and its quite useful, will cost you around Rs. 1000, 400 for bulbs and 500 for relay and 100 for installation.

You car looks fabolous, the choice of alloys are very good and i love the colour.

If any doubts you have you can feel free to ask me Geek, i have been threw the same situation that you are going thru.
