Thanks, waiting periods more a hype. It varies even across dealers across the same city. Just go out and find out, wish you luck.
FYI, I booked in April 2011. But then the car was not even launched so this long wait. Quote:

Regarding the glove box, something is surely wrong with it. Suggest you to get it checked with your A.S.S. |
Thanks. Thats the exact resaon why i opted out of the i20. Quote:

The glove box indeed is odd; have it checked. Else, it is terrible design. Now I have my doubts, but I checked the hinges and they are parallel to each other. I think its a design flaw or a wrong angle while I clicked the pic
That Auto button in the centre console is ACC, right? So, is the temp. adjusted with the rolling temp. knob?
Yes, its adjusted with the rolling knobs.
What do you find diff. in this Swift vis a vis the old one - design and looks wise? Agree, the back isn't very good to look at. A lot though not much. I know its confusing. But this is very different from the old swift in ways more than one. The suspension is a definitely better than the previous one.
Talk about groping the power window switches - even the ANHC has a backlight only for driver window switch! Thats sad and useless. Its a needed feature.

I completely agree that the interiors, especially on the dashboard - are much more appealing then the exterior design. But neverthless, IMO it is a perfect package.
How much was the overall damage to your pocket ?
The old VDi was in the 6 Lakh range in Bengaluru right, how much is this one for on road ? |
Thanks, this was 748 on road Quote:

I am surprised to know that VDi doesn't comes with ABS while previous gen used to have it as option.
Wishing you happy and safe driving. |
Thanks, I booked in April and got delivered in the first lot. Quote:

A few Questions for you.
1. How is the A/C performance compared to other Cars in segment(I don't think it comes with rear A/C Vents)?
2. I heard the old swift use to scrap its under-body in bumps. How different is new Swift? |
1. The AC cools fast and is effecirent.
2. The wheel wells are big and even 15' wheels look small. Quote:

More exterior pictures please. Review says driver seat in new swift has better bolstering compare to older one. Whats your observation? |
Back support is better than the previous Swift, seats are very accommodating

Can you share with us your impressions on the build quality so far? Any squeaks, rattles? I know its too premature to ask.
The high loading point of the boot is a concern but the boot looks much bigger in the picture you have posted. Could be an illusion.
No rear A/C vents. Old Swift never really had scrapping problems. The suspension setup was on the stiffer side and I believe the same has been retained in the new one with minor tweaks. I am hoping that the increased wheelbase will not cause under body scrapping. |
Build quality looks okay, rattles to early to judge.
The boots not that small, but def smaller than the previous gen. But the loading lip is a problem. |
