What's the point of driving a old model 1.3 if there's a better choice of new 1.2??? Bigger boot space, nicer interior with RPM, Sports mode gear shift, sporty exterior facelift?? Think abt it. [wave]

 

Actually the new boot is smaller, because it's split by a board and the rear seat base doesn't fold forward. The only advantage is that when the seat back is folded forward, the area is flat. Flat, but smaller [sweatdrop]

 

Aside from this my vote is definitely for the new 1.2 [thumbsup]

My 1.3XG(A) has also 1. and 3.

No keyless entry or facelift.

But considering that Swift can be bodykitted to turn into something so totally different for under $1K, it doesn't matter. Just send it for a facelift loh.

 

I am getting about 13-14km/l for my 2.5 month old car. That's my wife driving most of the time and you know how ladies' step on the accelerator. Using ESSO 8000.

 

A very fun car to drive.

Pickup after 2 gear is good. But getting from 1 to 2 needs a hard press on the accelerator.

Great at doing corners and cabin sound seems good.

 

 

 

Dude, Actually not much difference la just that you get the following in the new 1.2

 

1. auto-retractable mirror

2. Keyless entry

3. Climate control air-con.

4. new facelife

 

Here is a review from another forum and i hope it helps.

ust to share some points after collecting my ride yesterday afternoon.

 

When moving off from stand still, need to step on gas a bit for car to move, rpm about 2000 - 2500. If want faster pick up, can try rev above 3000 rpm.

 

After came out from car and closed the door, the cabin light takes 15 sec to go off if the cabin light switch set to door mode. (At first when I closed the door and found the cabin light still on I thought cabin light switch faulty, after reading the Japanese manual then know this is one of the design feature)

 

1.2 CVT got a sport mode which able to give more torque when needed. Just moved from "D" to "S" which is located side by side in the gears layout.

 

Managed to activate the default security alarm in the car. Wow, the sound from the stock honk quite loud.

 

Quite happy with the sound from the stock speakers and original audio, will keep them as I not really into ICE.

 

Road handling is good and sound insulation is above average.

The CVT doesn't sap as much power from the engine compared to the conventional auto gearbox. it is also more fuel efficient.

 

There has to be some drawbacks on CVTs right? There are some ppl I know who shuns CVT, saying it doesn't feel right, frequent breakdowns or high maintenance costs... [dead]

 

What say u? [thumbsup] or [thumbsdown]
