  1. Hi Guys, Anyone here using the new 2017 Suzuki Swift Hybrid? Any user experiences and comparisons with similar hatchback hybrids (eg. Aqua, Fit). TIA
  2. Hi all, I'm looking to buy one of these cars and appreciate any comments on fuel figures and maintenance cost of two cars( I did search and read most of related posts ). According to my research these and concerns/facts I have found. Still I would appreciate everyones feedback. Demio should do better on fuel than Swift ( Swift 10kmpl in town I read , Demio not sure 12kmpl? ) Demio parts are expensive than swift. - Buying car around 2008 what would be replacements I should expect to? ( Socks/ Shock mounts ). Eg. Had a Mazda familia BJ5P for 2 years. It costs around 35 to replace engine mounts ( Left one original and others Malaysian ) still I'm not sure whether it is expensive or not compared to a similar are of other brand. Steering rack issues. - I read in different places both cars have known issue with steering rack issues. I called to Mazna motors and they also said rack failure is common with Demio and will take around 100k to replace genuine or can do some what less expensive fixes as well. There is where I got shocked and started to doubt on Demio. 1 Lak for rack . Is same figure goes for Swift rack issue fix? Thank you
  3. Hi All, Im new to this car buying thing and planning to buy a vitz 2017 OR swift 2017 model. I have driven both vehicles, since im not a car guy im ok with both. While observing ncap and moose tests reviews, i understood that vitz is marginally safer and stable compared to swift. But then again swift comes with some bells and whistles (such as automatic climate control) as standard. Where as vitz 1000cc only comes with manual AC. My absolute maximum budget is fixed at 42mil. My main reason for buying a car is as bellow. - daily commute (reliablilty) - Fuel efficiency ( if anyone knows fuel efficiency of both these vehicles please let me know) - Better resale value (after less than 5 years) Appreciate any expert comments of vitz, swift gurus. Thanks allot.
  4. I'm planning to buy a suzuki swift japan (2006-2010) but heard that the fuel consumption is pretty low compared to other hatchbacks. Also, i heard that fuel consumption of the cvt version of the swift is better than other versions. Is there any way to identify a swift (2005-2010) with a cvt gearbox?
  5. Heya, I have an automatic 2008 Suzuki Swift and recently it's been shaking/vibrating/juddering quite noticeably when the engine is turned on (whether it's cool or warm). I've always waited for the engine to warm up for a few minutes before driving it, so I really don't know what's going on. I've also noticed that when I put the windows down, the sound of the engine when accelerating is quite unsettling, sounds like a long and loud dry wheeze, I can't really describe it. It just sounds really unhealthy. I also remember one time when the accelerator just stopped working while I was driving (felt like it ran out of gas but I had just filled it) before any of this vibration stuff started, so I pulled over, waited, and then it started working as normal again. I literally have no clue what I'm talking about when it comes to mechanical terms and all that jazz, I just thought I'd come here to ask what's actually wrong with it before taking it to a mechanic. My dad knows quite a lot about cars but he isn't here at the moment so I thought I'd come here to get some helpful info to pass on to him. I read somewhere that it could be something to do with the cylinders; if it is I can give some more information later on, but for the moment I'm just looking for what this issue could possibly be. Thanks in advance! Melina
  6. Dear Members, I am new and looking for my first car. However, Since I don't have much mechanical knowledge on cars, I m afraid of buying a second hand one. Therefore, I wish to buy a reconditioned or brand new one. I expect your suggestions based on followings: Status: Reconditioned or Brand New Make: Any (but prefer Toyota) Color: White Or Blue Budget: 2.7 M to 3.3 M Year: from 2014 - if reconditioned Resell- Second hand market Fuel consumption Transmission: Any However, I feel, it d better to go for Toyota Vitz, Suzuki Swift s too.
  7. Best value for money unregistered car for less than 4M. Plz give your opinion on appearance, driving experience, maintenance, second hand market and durability.
  8. Hi, Anyone have experience in smart key programming for cars? My car smart key is malfunctioning so I called several places/persons and it will cost around Rs 18500. When I checked the ebay there are car key programming units available around 12k (I search for one, which is compatible with my Suzuki Swift 2010). Can we do it ourselves? If I purchase car key programmer unit, I might able to start part time job to program these smart keys at cheaper price. What are the risks associated with it? According to youtube videos, key programming is not a difficult task. But reality is that the same? thanks
  9. Hi Guys, I am planning to upgrade my wheels from 15'' to 16'', car is a 2005 swift zc11s. I have not seen any of the same model with 16'' except the sport model which has factory fitted 16'' wheels. so wondering will there be any issues or if an expert could enlighten me with the result. Plan is to buy Volk racing or Voosen 16'' wheels with low profile tyres, any tip for a place to buy?
  10. Hi guys, I just want to know that the rated life of the timing chain of M13A engine (swift HT51s). I heard some car manufacturers rate the life of timing chain with the lifetime of the car? just to make sure what it is going to be? thanks.
  11. Hi guys, I am planning to buy a used car for around 2.4mil these days. could you guys please comment on below cars on given aspects. Suzuki Swift 2004/2003 vs Honda fit 2004 fuel economy maintenance (part availability) comfortability safety features thanks you-- awaiting comments
  12. Hi all, Two years before I purchased a Mazda BJ5P with the help of you all. It was for my family and I drove it most of the time. My honest opinion is that car is a reliable, cool and fun to drive. I did use it as my wedding car as well . After two years I sold it. Well, the reason is nor since both me and my brother is living in Colombo now car just sit at home until one of us get back. So I wanted to go for a bit smaller car which my sister could drive. My preferences were Suzuki Swift Jeep Model 2004, Chevrolet Curze 2004. BTW I did my homework guys. I read everything related to these vehicles in the forum. Last two days I went to see 8 car of above models. Looking at those cars I'm very disappointed. Most of them looks they were being raped by owners. Engines leaking oil all over the place, power windows not working or creaking, Cabin is dusty like hell etc. Honestly I can't believe how someone can use a car like that. The best car I would was a 3rd owner lady drive. That also have slight oil leaks and it is a basic car ( no ABS, P/S ). It also giving a bit of vibration when on D so I guess engine mounts are not good. Yesterday evening I looked into March AK 12 ( Yes, I read all forum threads ). Should be a very comfortable car with all features. So I'm going to raise the fuel consumption topic again. In most threads people start giving unrealistic figures and from there on thread discussion is off topic. My BJ5P realistically did ~9kmpl is Colombo, Outstations ~12kpml(Trip to Katharagama gave bit beyond 12 so ) and highway ~15kmpl( Driving ~80kmph). I have heard most 1.3 engines ( vitz, swift ) do ~12kmpl on city. So AK12 being more low and wide car would do less I think . I read 10 is also difficult to achieve in AK12. But outstation it should do at least ~13 and highway ~15. So please someone had a AK12 please give me a realistic figure please. Thank you
  13. Hi Guy, I own a Suzuki swift 2005 (japan) beetle auto car, I bought this few months ago and didn't face major issues since last week. Suddenly starter motor failed to respond on few occasions but after switching off and on, it did work. Car has few other electronic errors such as seat belt indicator and gear indicator light errors, they work sometimes but sometimes not. I am wondering weather to go to a electrision or to do the regular service as it's has come closer. Seek your valuable advice.
  14. hello guys, firts of all I should say i have only minor experience about vehicles and vehicle technical jargon. I own Suzuki swift 2007 Japanese one and noticed car is slowly pull to left side when i drive(this is the only problem i have. no any other sound. done alignment. new good year tires.). I took it to the Agent and suggestion was to repair the Rack bush and they told me it requires some lathe work to re-fill the bush. when i talked about cost according to them it will be around 15,000-20,000. I have seen some of the threads about steering rack problems and replies about lathe works and of course i have seen a mech called "Wasantha" on most of the threads. I need your help/thoughts to sort this out please.
  15. Hi Guys, Just wanted to know the main differences between Suzuki Swift Indian version & Suzuki Swift Japanese version. I checked few blogs and found out below differences Engine Capacity 1.3L vs 1.5L Transmission Differences - Indian comes with a manual & Japanese with a Automatic Interior - Good interior in Japanese ( obviously) What about the engine versions? and drawbacks of Indian one? Fuel efficiency, Maintenance & parts availability? Are there any differences in exterior? I was bit supersized about the recondition price differences between these two versions. p.s. - I checked lots of old threads and sorry if i am posting something already discussed in detail.
  16. Hi Experts, I'm looking for a help from you. I sold my car recently and need to go for a car for about 2 Mil. My idea is to by a car for that price and use it for about one and half years and go for a better one later since due to some other reasons I'm not in a position to spend more than that during this year. With some search I found Bluebird Sylphy as a decent car which is available for my budget. But I would like to get to know following information about that car. YOM - 2001 - 2004 Transmission - Auto Fuel consumption in 1.5 l model and 2 l model ? At the same time I'm considering following vehicles too. Toyota Cami Mazda Familia 1.5 Auto FB 15 New shell 1.5 Auto Toyota 110 1.5 Auto Swifts (Indian) zxi YOM 2007 / 8 Appreciate your support.

( I prefer Japan vehicle but like this car too ) All of the above checked models are between 60,000 - 90,000 Kms done so far except the Astar.

So, I really appropriate help from you guys to select one model from the above for me or any others you suggest, based on above details. Also if you can share your experiences (fuel consumption and reliability) of the above models that would be highly appreciated. Thank you and looking forward to see your comments.

  22. Dear All, I'm looking to buy my 1st car with a very limited budget of 2mn. As I read the forum and classified in AL, I understood that followings will come within my budget. Estilo - YOM 2010 Indian Swift - YOM 2007/08 Passo - YOM 2004/05 Since I will be going for part leasing, I won't be able to consider vehicles older than 10 years. Kindly advise on the above.
  23. Hi Guys, Looking for a vehicle under 2.2 million, that won't give me trouble (2001 and newer preferred). I'm also partial to hatchbacks. Should have decent fuel economy (10 per ltr +) I was sort of looking at options like Suzuki Swift (the older model) and the Chevrolet Cruz. Don't like the Nissan March. What will the community recommend? (I know this topic exist in the forums, but can't seem to find something that's more current and relevant to my needs) Thank you.
  24. Hi, I've got a Suzuki Liana 1.6. Recently took the ignition coil assembly out to change the spark plugs and noticed that the rubbber bit surrounding the contact point between the plug and the ignition coil rod has broken in one unit. It is the wide bit right at the bottom; My questions are; Is there a specific name for this rubber bit? Can I buy this rubber bit only(without buying an ignition coil)? If I cannot buy this bit, trust that I can salvage one from a disposed ignition coil from a Liana or a Swift (engine model: M16A). Any thoughts on where I can find one? Thanks in advance for your support.
  25. Hi guys, My problem is when the car start moving ahead there is a "tuk" sound comes from the bottom. It comes only once and then nothing. then if i drive little faster and apply break sometimes it comes. If i put wheel hard over to left and climb even a little slope this sound comes once, but not always. I showed this to a garage and they ask me to change left side top mount which i changed both the mounts a month back. They did a bottom inspection and found nothing wrong with engine top/bottom mounts ect.... Please give me some advice to solve this problem. Thank you.
