This is what I have gathered from driving both the Petrol and Diesel swift, I may be wrong though

A petrol car has a more free revving engine which means the engine will go to a much higher speed and you will be able to stay in a gear for much longer.

A diesel car has more torque which gives the car a feeling that it is about to take off when you open up the throttle a bit, However the rev rrange is limited and you have to shift to a higher gear sooner than you would have to in a Petrol

Between the two I found the Diesel to be a lot more fun to drive

However Id say forget the swift and get a Getz CRDi which will be able to go to about 130bhp with a petes box installed.
