That was amazing. Well done!

Splendid job kbk_75..appreciate the time you spent and the neat job with the pics and the neutral mindset you had when you put across your thoughts.

Agree with most of your observations and it was like a kool review..

Keep them flowing dude.

awesome pics man, it would be great to have such comparisons for all close competetors like (NHC, OPTRA) (Baleno, Lancer) ....

kbk_75 · 8th March 2006, 13:11

Hi guys! Thanks for all the kind words and praise. I'm glad you guys appreciate what went into making the thread, it makes it all worthwhile. Actually, to be honest I thoroughly enjoyed the entire process. Hmmm...

kbk_75 · 8th March 2006, 13:24

Five star rating for this thread?! Wow, I'm honoured. That's a first for me, I think!

By the way moderators, I'd like to edit post #3 with one more small note on the car's boot. If you could allow me to edit I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

This is a piece of art!! Thanks for the efforts behind such a highly detailed comparison.

The Swift is a funky looker, but very feminine in my opinion. That said, the Getz is mature with under-stated lines.

simply put- one of the neatest reviews ever. good job there, kbk...i think this is a first-of-a-kind; well, at least on t-bhp. nicely done.

kbk_75 · 8th March 2006, 19:20

Well, that would explain why the Swift in the pics belongs to a woman!

DCEite · 8th March 2006, 22:28

What i fail to understand is why cant Maruti put clear lens Tail lamps?!!!.. its available elsewhere... but not in India :(
heck, even M800 has clear lens.

luv_bikelover · 8th March 2006, 22:36

kpzen · 8th March 2006, 22:51

Exactly what the Thread rating system is. Check it out, and people should start using it more!

PM me what has to be added and i will take care of it.

So finally the pics!
Seems like you have got a huge positive response! (proves that people like more pictures and less words? lol)

The cars look great, i have always liked them both, and they both have very different visual characters. However, one thing that i prefer about the swift is its stance. The swift has a stance like a claw, whereas the getz is like a closed fist... if you know what i mean!

Thread moved to "reviews" as i think it might be more helpful for members if its in that section

Thanks for taking the time to do this!
