    -Good swift community

    -No free service and high cost service
    -Switching from N gear to D have about 1 second delay

Bought new, Owned for 2 Years
Fuel Economy: 14.3 km/litre (7.0 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 2,000 km/month
    Fun to drive, push button sound really crispy and nice to hear, stability while corning at high speed, clean and nice dashboard, best fuel economy, very quite engine unnoticeable inside cabin, better and quality interior plastic, nice wrap steering wheel, extended warranty for 2 year apart 3 years early i bought, easy access of key less entry and ample space for kids and family, good braking system and safety rating

Bought new, Owned for 3 Years

    - Involving to drive due to its excellent handling (Best cornering in the class)
    - Very much comfortable to drive and ride for short and long distance
    - Good safety package in the base models (GL version)
    - Acceptable fuel economy (less than 7.0 L/100km for highway drive, around 9.0 L/100km for full city drive)
    - Stylish look
    - Good cabin space for front passengers
    - Reliability as it feel solid on its build quality
    - Pick up response slow from 0~40km/h but it react fast from 40~120km/h, possible due to the 4AT gear box ratio
    - A bit bumpy for rear passenger
    - Small boot and bad rear leg room
    - Dark cabins and interior plastics make the interior looks dull
    - Aircond not perform well while stuck in traffic jam

Yes, I would recommend this car

1.4 A/T GLX (2014)
Bought new, Owned for 3 Years
Fuel Economy: 11.0 km/litre (9.1 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 1,500 km/month
    This is a great car for first time car buyers and those looking for a simple and smart runaround car.
    The handling and high speed stability of the Swift is the best in its class. Sudden braking can be done safely and with confidence. This car can hug corners and is a lot of fun to drive. The warranty by Suzuki Malaysia for 5 years/100,000km is very good. This gives you a peace of mind when owning the car. I've had a few faults before mainly absorber leaking after 60,000km but it was changed without any charge and a throttle response issue which was fixed easily. Suzuki also gives free services up to 60,000km promo from time to time. The sound insulation is also quite good and is pretty quiet up to 140km/h. The stock stereo actually sounds good.
    The rear seats are not the largest but that is to be expected when buying a small hatchback.
    The roof soundproofing could be improved to further deaden the sound from the rain hitting the roof. I would recommend buyers to go to an accessories shop to add sound dampening material to the roof and doors.
    The stock tyres are very grippy but they will wear out after 30,000km. It's a good tyre for short braking distances.
To Improve
Roof sound dampening can be added.
Yes, I would recommend this car
