1.3 = 91Bhp

1.5 = 101Bhp

 

1.5 from CM now also got facelift.

[Pocus]

Hmm...swifts are more prone to oversteering than understeering due to the wheelbase...

 

Could be other reasons.... Anyway, just drive safety...and it applies to ALL cars...

[Steadyla]

bro...so early ah...can also la.

 

Anyone keen on meeting up??

[Mivec9]

Can the stock HU connect to CD changer or does it comes with MP3?

Hi guys, can anyone help me out here? I can't decide between a 1.2 and 1.5 swift. Has to be auto since my mum can't drive a manual.

 

I was going to go for the 1.5 already but the new 1.2 sure looks nice. Just worried that it might be too underpowered for its weight. I usually drive alone... once in a while will ferry some friends around.

[Steadyla]

I am driving a 1.2 XG Auto and am very happy with it so far. 1.2XG seems underpowered to you but it performs as good as a 1.5. Just that it is on CVT and the pick-up will be slightly laggy. You just have to change the paper filter to cotton one and this little engine pick-up will come to life.

 

I can climb benjamin sheares bridge easily at slightly above 3krpm even with full load on board. the pick-up from 70 to 140 is shocking for such a small car and i am impressed.

 

pm me if you need more information. cheers!

[Gingerbreadman]

i wonder how is the FC of the 1.2 auto...ijjit high?

[Steadyla]

13 to 13.5 during run in. i manage to get 14.3 for one tank of v-power.

 

It should be better after i change it to fully syn engine oil.

cheers

[Applecow]

Steadyla, I called your friend. He's very polite and helpful. He quoted me $53988 4 bids guaranteed COE with $12k rebate. For white 1.2A XG have to wait 2 months.

 

is that good?

[Steadyla]

wah so expensive ah....u search around somemore and compare again.

[Rickster]

hmm...what i heard about the sports is the FC's about 8-9km/L. don't if it is true...

 

Wa, cannot be true lar...8-9km/l is quite similar to the FC of RX8 or a turbo charged 2-2.5L car!

[Rickster]

Actually, mineral oil or syn oil does not make much difference to the FC unless the syn oil u r using are those very thin ones like in W30 range.

[Steadyla]

yup...i am going to change to 5w30 when i hit 10k. I am on 15w40 currently.

[Applecow]

Just called another shop. He say $49988 $12K rebate, 3 bids guaranteed COE. cost $1000 more for my choice of colour.
