Hey guys.... my wifey CKD will botom down a bit if driven over tall humps with 5 people inside. Is it true that the suspension set up of a CKD is softer than the CBU? No doubt, it is pretty comfortable for leisure driving but it does feel a bit wobbly if push hard into corners...btw, the ori rims do feel heavy....

I`m on stock rims and tyres. I`ve pushed mine hard on corners, not wobbly and seems to hug curves very well.

maybe i am too used with my lotus tuned suspension ride....
btw, can we set the remote control so that all 4 doors will open with 1 press on the button?

Ooooh, don`t about that bro.Will have to read the manual first. Why,.... don`t you like the one door open feature.

Guys,

Thinking of swift as well (since I got my interest rate lock at 2.++% in Feb for another car but never arrived till now. My LOU will expired soon). I test drive swift but I find that its abit uncomfortable at the back seat when taking corner i.e. my body tend to sway side way when taking corner and also can feel the bump when hit holes. Is this normal for swift?? Any think can be done i.e. change the absorber to make the back seat ride more comfy??

No doubt the front seat is happy when taking corner or hit the bump.

Bro,
Swift 1.5A is s small car, with short wheelbase. Therefore, rear passenger comfort is compromised. The stock suspension is already designed for comfort. Any harder will not provide comfort to rear passengers too.

Actually it act as safety measure so that only "authorized" person get to board the car. Good for female driver when cars are parked at basement or quiet area. But i use the car more to fetch my kid, mum in law and maid. So, have to press twice lor...

In comparison, MyVi rear seats are more bumpy. However, the older Jazz still not too bad. Maybe wheelbase longer?

Yes, Jazz wheelbase is longer. Generally, longer wheelbase (+ soft suspension setting) will provide a better ride for rear passengers. Also, longer wheelbase will have less pitching effect (where u feel the car pitch left/right like in a boat) thereby making the ride more comfortable.

Hmm..

Guys sorry to hi-jack your tread but..can you guys help me out..I am considering swift but



"Still thinking...thinking..think harder...

Alamak still dunno la..

I hv narrow down my option to the following:

1) Wait for my current booking..peugeot 308 turbo..which is no doubt soo fun when test drive..but if wait intrest rate will go up..than can only afford 8-9 years loan..

2) Go for swifey..alamak cannot compare then test drive experiance la..also quite concern about the comfy of my baby (6 month) at the back..and rattling noise..hmmm..may not tolerate..but can autofoam and sound proofing treat this problem??, big question, is this suzie sufficient for family of 3..on the plus side can afford the suzie with 3-4 years loan..after that debt free and can start to look for nicer car

3) Not really an option, I hv test drive new city..not impressed with the interoir..crv, quite comfy but boring car..vios, alamak dugong la..

so tick tock..thinking thinking...swift seem like so much fun but is it ok for family of 3??????? But I like it very much seen its fun in the driving seat.. maybe need to live life a little since I am not yet 30 so maybe when Im 30+ can start buy family car...what do you think??

FEMlab, if i were you family shd come first...with a little todler it is essential to get a decent sedan car with spacious boot to store ur baby's salong, pampers, food, clothings etc... if u can add to ur budget then get the new City or else get the Dugong E spec and do ur own mods to spice up the dull looking car...

swift will be ideal for 2nd car or a gift to Wife
swift sport is a gift for husband and you will feel life starts at 40....hahaha
