Ha Ha Ha! I got my white Maruti Swift Dzire (Vdi) now! I have been a little late in sharing this news with you all! I finally got my hands on this car on 14th of July. Three days after my birthday. Gosh!!! It was so much waiting for this beautiful car.
Maruti Swift Dzire is one of the best available cars in India, that gives such a great mileage beside being pretty impressive in looks and performance. Other close competitors were Ford Fiesta, which gives almost same average but people have had lot many bad experiences with after sale service, plus it was some 80,000 INR expensive than Maruti Dzire. The only other competitor was Renault Logan. Humm, i have nothing to say about it. It gives 3kms more than Dzire do in a litre of diesel plus it was fairly cheaper in price too, but Bad interiors, Bad exteriors, no modification can easily make it look good. I am talking about the Indian Logan. It badly needs some changes. Anyways….since no other option, i had to go for Dzire. Plus’ i had already waited for 3 months…so i needed it whatsoever.
To those who understand the technical functionalities, Maruti Swift Dzire (Diesel) has a 1.3L Diesel Direct Injection System a.k.a the DDIS Engine. This engine delivers so much performance, fuel efficiency, driving pleasure and durability. And reduced noise and vibration levels is the other important thing. It has a 1248cc engine that delivers 75bhp@4000rpm and maximum torque of 190@2000 along with Turbocharger and Intercooler! 5 Gear shifts, superor drive and low fuel consumption. It’s suppose to give a mileage of 22kms in a litre of diesel. Fot US conversion, i think it should be 84kms a gallon of diesel. It’s body type is known as “Notchback“. The car by default comes with 14″ tubeless JK tires. Umm….That needed a change big time. So i bought good 10 spoke 15″ alloys and got Yokohama‘s tires to make my car get a little sporty look. Ofcourse i got Sun Control Fiming on the glasses.
For those who are not into so technical things, you may just want to know the details in one line. It’s a pearl arctic metallic white colored Dzire with black filming and good looking alloys! 
For everyone, enjoy some pics and if you have any question, please do ask me.

Hi Kinnera Suman
I actually have changed my Dzire music system from the stock to a Kenwood KDC BT7043 U system. Now my car has a stereo system with 1000 times better output, USB feature so that i can stick in that 8 GB pen drive of mine, and also a bluetooth feature that lets me use the blue n me kind of technology! I can talk to my friends on phone while driving through the built in mic and can hear them through the speakers.
Anyways, you need to go to your local car modification guy and ask him if he has a swift lxi console for the ac vent and music system. It costed me around 1000 bucks. Get that console, remove your dzire’s console and put in your new music system. You will have to compromise a little on the looks coz you won’t get the feel of the default dzire music system’s integration, but that’s the only way ahead.
I will soon update my blog with some posts and pictures…. Keep looking
Dzire is the combination of both power and performance. Driving the car on Mumbai-Pune Express Highway is great Experience and the car speeds upto 150km/l. Love to drive the car. Awesome feeeling… Maruti u rock
Hey Kiran! I am pretty certain you mean 150kmph. We are talking speed, not fuel efficiency :p
And yes, the car is good but am getting bored of it now!
Hey Sharat,
I was planning to buy the swift dzire, overheard that the new swift dzire will be launched as a compact sedan with its butt shelved. i did like the the present one as it has a large boot and looks good, but at the same time i wouldn’t like to be a part of the discontinued present swift dzire.. would like to know whether the present swift would be discontinued kindly mail me as i have in a a jinx.
Thank you.

Hi sharat
I have swift lxi 2008 with 14 inch neo alloys.
I’m confused of making choice about which trye and size i’ll go with keeping in mind it does not effect the mileage. My friend says go for 185/70/14r .
please tell me which size and make i’ll go with.
one thing it should look good on the car
Thanks
Where i can get the spoiler for swift in Chandigarh and what price?
Hey Cavin. Sorry for getting so late.
Yeah….so we all have seen the new dzire by now i guess. It’s okay….just okay. The side profile of car sucks, the boot is very small-ish but it looks terrific from the front and rear end.
Not sure with what you went for or if you are planning to buy something else. But hey, best of luck.
Hi Amarjit
Even if you go for a 15 inch alloy, the drop in mileage will be something like 0.75. I think it’s pretty okay.
As far as 14″ are concerned, 185/70/r14 is pretty okay size. But if you really want your car to look GOOD, then i am sorry, i don’t believe a car can look good with 14″ alloys. “Bigger the alloy/rims, better the looks” is what i live by.
15″ Alloys, Anything like Yokohama A Drive or C Drive or Continental CPC 2, or Michelin’s Primacy LC will do as for tyres are concerned
