Swift Ckd Is Built On Cost Saving?

I told him i am very sure my car comes with NGK Iridium spark plugs from factory, 'cos i did open up the engine and see. Then it lead to another question, i asked him whether a CKD 1.5 Swift comes with carbon spark plugs from factory. I also asked him whether the SC replace the iridium spark plugs with carbon spack plugs if the cars come with iridium spark plugs. He didnt really answer me. He said he would email/ check with Suzuki Msia and let me know.
My doubt is, it is true CKD 1.5 Swift comes with carbon spark plugs from the factory? And, or just becasue of some cost saving measure and what not, the SC decides for the Swift owners their cars don't need iridium spark plugs?
Please enlighten me, please.

U can check your manual provided to you, from the manual given to me, my m15a swift can use both iridium and copper spark plug, use only as recommended by manufacturer if your car still in standard factory condition.

hakim504,
So from factory, your car comes with carbon spark plugs or iridium spark plugs?

Actually only now when bro VinPetrol highlighted this issue that I'm wondering whether they replaced my Iridium spark plug to the normal carbon one, since mine is the CBU Japan 06 model.

I can't confirm that now but i think it is carbon spark plug.

Carbon spark plugs don't last as long, their performance can decrease as early as 5k km use. Some say iridium spark plugs give slightly better fuel economy and smoother engine. No matter what, since the car comes with Iridium spark plugs, i don't think it's a good idea to downgrade to carbon ones.
It's been 3 days, still no news from the technician guy at SC.

Just call (and chase) Suzuki Malaysia directly.

1) The rear seats do not double fold. Only the back rest comes down. Carriage volume is quite limited.
2) Slide tray under front passenger seat not provided.
3) Carbon spark plugs.
4) All 3 free service to be completed within 6 months. 1st service at 1K not 10K. I wonder if Suzuki Japan will be interested to know this.
The local made seat belts jammed on the 1st day itself.
