haiya..why la...go and compare swift to city and vios?that two car is
sedan and swift is hatchback and for sure la..handling all different bcoz
of chasis and body size.
pls compare swift to jazz,yaris,mazda2,they all are compact cars and
maybe you all can rate this car better.

i beg to differ natoct bro...i got both cars n swift wins hands down in
terms of handling n driveablity...

ciy steering input n feel is quite dead...very litle on-road feel n
steering feedback...i agree goin up genting the torque throughtout the
powerband is much more driver friendly but cornering stability is outta
the question...that is comparing both cars stock versions....

I agree with ckcspice......mine the swift...my brother`s is the City V-
tech....I enjoy my swift much more...handling much better....steering
input better.....
with the City V-tec....is the opposite.....highway at hi speed you
feellike the car is floating...
But I like the V-tec engine......nice response...also the space its
offers.....
But this is 2 diffrent cars.......my brother bought it because he has 3
grown up children.....while I only had a 2 year old child.......

straight fwd.

city feel like driving a ps2 toy steering but spacious and has a soft ride,
weird look and for sure too damn pricey

vios is better but less space and stupid centralize panel. thus ugly and
not worth the money

swift great, firmer, smaller and no 2nd hand value. harga turun kalo 40+k
is just nice. town ride ok lo. long journey for big family forget about it.

choose wisely. no specific car suit everybody. but i still vote for swift
if the price is reasonable. otherwise, i'll stick to what i have. enjoy my
ride and less hassle maintenance for now.

ha...ha.... since swift good in handling better buy swift with honda
engine anyway ada ka?
anyway i kind of agree with bro cactiva swift road handling is good and
better looks than city or vios.
even though so many issues after i got my swift but more to interior
problems even until now still few unsolve but performance wise cannot
beat city.
honda engine is far more superior compared to suzuki that is something we
cannot deny at all so not all car comes in full package.

I think with Swift sport 1.6, performance shouldn't be an issue. Can eat
city vtec for breakfast and vios for lunch, hehehe...

A stock Swift Sport 1.6 may not be able to finish its breakfast of City
VTEC or Vios, but I think the mod potential for the Swift is there.

Look at some of the specs of the Swift Sports - high lift cams, forged
pistons, strengthened valve springs.... all this points to the potential
of modifying this little pocket-rocket to another level.

I think by the time this model is sold in Msia, not too long later there
will be an abundance of performance mods for this car.
