The new Swift feels quite well put together. No panel gaps, no rattles at least reported till now. However, there seems to be some growing concern over the braking of Vdi/Vxi Lxi/Ldi models.

The New Swift is solid and seems well put together, the interiors have a nice color scheme and the plastics are of good quality as well.

It is definitely better than the old Swift, which was notorious for its rattles. But as not many cars have crossed the 50k km mark as yet, the jury is still out on the extent of improvement. That said, this is no Punto or Fabia or Polo and you can feel the overall lightness in the build.

Maruti Suzuki is known for its low maintenance costs and spare parts costs. besides, it also has wide sales & service networks that offers reliable service. Go for the Swift Ldi

Both are good. Figo has pretty low spares cost too. You decide based on which dealership / service center you are closer to, and which will be convenient for you.

Swift is better if maintenance and service cost are your main concerns

Between the three you speak of, the Swift is the safest choice and also has the best engine. However, some reviews have pointed out some issues in the braking of the non ZXI / ZDI versions.

The Jazz is a bit expensive as compared to the mid variants of the cars you have listed. But if you can stretch your budget, nothing like it.

Shivam, you have asked the question that confuses everyone! To figure this out, you have to think about exactly what you need.

If you want speed, both will do the job. No problems.

If you want very good handling on corners while going fast – brilliant control – it is Swift. On the other hand, if you want comfort on bad roads while going at…[Read more]

Performance wise, the new i20 and Swift are a close match. However, the i20 has more space and offers more features than the Swift. So, if you are particular about features and rear seat space, choose the i20, but be ready to pay the premium. On the other hand, if you are on a tight budget and maintenance costs and resale value are your top…[Read more]
