dont say like that lor.. myvi oso good. swift is just better. if only the
price is at war then, ppl will definitely go for better looking one -
swift. you notice how bad the curve and sway on myvi.

ckd body kosong jugak maa... what kinda quality is sma offering? if the
price is at 60k and the built is similar to 100k one than it might be
worth. no offend just becoz you oredi bought the car.

to be frank i like swift. just the price stop me from getting one.

It has good value compared to VIOS. Only downside is small trunk space. It
has quieter engine & good handling. If u want to convert the Swift to be
extra zippy, change the extractor to a 4-2-1. guaranteed increase in fun
factor in terms of power and torque. Able to tackle ascends with the 4th
gear while it usually shifts down to 3rd with the stock setup. And, the
check engine light does NOT turn on if the cat is missing. Wow factor,
Swift wins hands down.

Vios downside is it narrow width, and engine sounds harsh when >4000rpm.
Don't like the center meter console idea. Vios has better fuel economy
from the feedbacks I've come across. The new version has better ride
comfort but engine still sounds harsh at high rpm.

popcorn,

To hit 170kph, it has to be on the 3rd gear. On 4th gear, it will slow
down to around 160kph. Not enough hp to maintain in that speed.

the top speed of 1.5 swift is about 175 km/h on even road....
this 1.5 breed is not meant for performance per say but yet u can top the
speedo dial to 180 km/h with the help of gradient going down hill...
perhaps we put so much expectation on this budget jap ride until we tend to
get wrong perception on this tiny car...
above all, this car is such a playful thing at every bend on the road... u
have no tendency to apply the brake whilst taking corners...
i`d say that swift is rather a driver`s car instead of catering to please
the passangers....
