Hey, these are quotes from people who know my car. VW offered me 1.9L exchange price.

I'm looking forward to what you finally think about the 1.5 compared the 1.6. Any Mods or dIYs planned?

Thanks Sunny, am still jumping in excitement. I feel the 1.5 is little more silent compared to the 1.6. The top end i felt was better in the 1.6. However I haven't pushed my car to the limits where as I had pushed the 1.6 GT. I somehow feel the brakes are better in the 1.5, again not sure about the condition of the test drive vehicle.
No mods planned as of now, just have upgraded the tyres.

Awesome your on-road price worked out to be less than the moolah some of us GT folks down south have paid for the previous model.
Get some fat rubber on the GT like Vikram's GT(Also Red), the on-road presence is transformed.
I'm curious to know, how is the acceleration and refinement compared to the previous model (If you've had a chance to drive the previous GT).
Also, how is the suspension beyond 100 KM/H ?
Happy GT'ing. |
Thank you so much no_boundaries, I upgraded to 205 55 R15 the day I took delivery
It's been a while i have driven the 1.6GT, somehow feel the old GT may have been little quicker to 100. But I clearly like the gear shift in the 1.5 GT and the noise levels are surely lesser.

Since yours is the facelift model, why are you on the older alloys? Have you asked it specifically? |
Thanks Anurag, I cant agree with you more, Swift surely was my 1st love and still remains close to me.
Even the facelift GT models are delivered with the old spec alloys.

Could you please tell me about your opinion on the Hyundai Elite i20 and reason for not considering it? And also comment on the NVH levels of your G2 with regard to your swift diesel. Congratulations and Drive safely. |
Thanks Harsha, okay let me try answering your questions
1. The i20 is definitely a great buy, for all the features and the modern design and costs less than the GT. I purely went on the driving dynamics, somehow the i20 didn't suit my driving style. The polo came the closest to the Swift. The punto rocks but wanted a little more powerful engine. Polo checked most of the boxes. Trust me, the torque has to be experienced.
2. I think the swift when new, was pretty silent. However now after 180K Kms there is no comparison. The GT is hardly audible inside with the AC on. Just audible enough to let you know that there is a diesel motor under that hood.

BTW, I thought petrol was cheaper in Goa so any specific reason for the diesel? I do see that you have a lot of running though and maybe probably the torque? |
Thanks a lot Arvind, Diesel was my choice of fuel as I end up doing lot of long trips and tanking up in other states is a huge dent to the wallet.
Also, not a big fan of automatic, if the TSI had the paddle shifters I would surely go in for that.

Absolutely agree with a4anurag on all the above points!
New GT's come with older design alloys (Estrada) which are much better looking than the new design (TOSA)! |
Thanks Yogi, Interior pics coming shortly :-)
A big thank you to all, I will try and post as much info I can on the GT TDi in the coming days.

The New GT's come with the old design itself. I remember reading somewhere that this was done to give the car a more sporty look. Well i agree on this, the "Tosa" setup looks fresh but definitely is sober when compared to the "Estrada". |
Thanks Amarendranath, fingers crossed about the niggle free ownership

But if seen on the basis of looks the Estrada will be my choice anyday. It looks brilliant and does give the the car the sporty look.

Yes Anurag, I too like the old wheel design. The wheels on my car are made in Poland.
