Just helped my cousin purchase the Swift. Collected yesterday only. Why the Swift?
Well, test and sat in March... TOO SMALL and definitely a ladies car.
Mazda 2, loud road noise and noisy engine!!! The grunt sounded like a lorry!
Colt? My mum bought the pre facelifted one. Not bad. Has the most features in the 1.5L class.... auto window shut, auto headlights on etc. Tranny is a bit noisy but liveable. Facelifted ones became pricey for its class.
Jazz - from KAH motors. Expensive. Overpriced IMHO.
The swift is not exactly spacious. It is available in Manual and Auto tranny. Road noise is reasonable. Smooth. FC not sure... should be able to average 15L/KM. Interior is ok lar.. spartan but not to the point of it being bad.
Cheers.
