In my books a Swift D for beginners is a strict no no.
Reasons are already stated above:
1. It has poor visibility up front
2. It is extremally torqy and may take some getting used to.
3. Reversing the vehicle is basically done in good faith. It is an extremally difficult car (view is shoddy) to reverse and add to that the difficulty that beginners feel in reversing and it can be more than a handful.
4. It is quite a wide car. Getting used to it may be more difficult than say an Alto/Zen or a Santro.

Everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion. I dont agree with this. For beginners the smaller the car the better it is. Alto/Estillo/Wagon R/i10/Santro make more sense. Wagon R and Estillo have relatively high seating poistions and are easier to handle. Same for Santro. Dont know about i10 as I have not drive it.
