They're all priced quite similar. But the Swift is a CBU (fully imported
from Japan) Which could mean higher quality?

The look is quite impressive too.

I think the Honda City maybe slightly powerful but it sure cost a lot
more too. It's CKD right?

What are your thoughts? What are your experiences with reliability,
quality and the service quality?

Yup i would definately go for Swift since all spotted with 1.5l engine, ABS
and Airbags. In terms of quality Swift is better than Vios/City since
they're CKD model whereas Swift is fully CBU.

Looks wise Swift is more sleeker than Vios. City is outdated and akward look.

My opinion only.

I've driven city & vios regularly, & imo swift handles better plus the
seats are much more comfortable with lots of thigh support. Anyway u
actually can't compare coz swift is in a different category as city &
vios.

cheers. Smile

Even tough Swift is a hatchback...i think it's still ok to compare it
with Vios and City as they aren't big cars and are about the same size
range as the Swift too.

swift is in getz, yaris, jazz, aveo category.
i test drove a swift 20k clocked demo car. sound insulation not so good.
dashboard and boot squeaking n rattling sound abit unlike waja. go over
rough roads sounds everywhere not much diff from vios n city. one thing
bad abt swift is the rear drum brakes. whereas others u can choose to
have higher specs. like in yaris, vios, city and jazz. exterior look
swift the best!! interior look dashbord very conti look just dont like
the in-dash audio player. given the 90k to choose i will go for tyt IST
99k much better than those above in terms of NVH and it uses vios engine.
waitin for the ckd swift in 2007. but afraid that the finishing like
protons, rattle everywhere for maybe 75-80k? just wait n see lo.....

between the 3, if you're going for looks = Swift, Handling = Swift.
Finally if you're young and think you're hot = swift. Vios is for britney
spears and city is for aunties. Agree? Smile

swift suspension is stiff, not so comfortable for rear passengers if the
road is rough, or maybe because it is a hatchback.
