someone suggested to me to superlon it. but i have yet to go and find out
about this superlon thing.

Biasa lah for a small car to have this. I would not classified this as a
problem.Even a s-class also noisy when rain.Anyway, good choice on the
Swift. Can't wait to get my hand on the GTI.

way back when i was driving my Kembara. I wanted to sound proff the car.
The roof thing require you to take out the roof lining. stick those
insulator and finally assemble the linign back.

My problem then was teh insulator was rather thick, so i am sure the
linign is not gonna go back nicely. Decide to skip the whole idea.

You make sure it won't cacat your car before investing.

I've done the soundproofing. I bought 4 (3x4) insulation sheet and applied
to the 4 doors and the boot. Surprisingly, the sound system is improved,
bass is solid, more solid drive now. All cost me only Rm16x4=Rm64 and Rm10
for the glue. Quite satisfied! No harm trying to do the insulation, is a
very simple job indeed.

I'm planning to get another sheet to do the roof, it looks like empty
inside the roof.

Any complaint?
I guess no, just the slight jerk when gear changing from 1 to 2.

slight jerk?

there is almost no jerk in my swift, almost as good as my jazz (which is a
cvt). might recommend u to look into it with the sc.

however, i forgot one more thing.

my reverse sensor is too sensitive i think. it keep beeping even when not
that near to things. anyone else have this problem?

The left rear door panel was rattling, and it got louder until I had to
send it to sc to rectify it. Now I can occasionally hear rattling on the
front passenger door...

Otherwise the car is okay and "wow" worthy, esp. with friends and family!
