Re: Next Generation Maruti Suzuki Swift & Dzire Launched
I would say even reviewers have their own opinion, like I loved the Fiat Punto driving experience, but I liked Figo even better than Punto which a lot of people cannot digest, reason is that Punto has superb steering and brakes and chassis was super stiff, but the weight played the big foul, the car had too much nose dive and the body roll was way too much that it spoiled a lot of what the Fiats sweet steering and brakes and feel had to offer, the gearbox too was a big let down to me, on the other hand the Figo which didnt have the insane steering of Fiat, brakes of Fiat felt far more like a balanced package, like it balanced everything in Figo is 80-85% Fiat good but the bad parts of Fiat like gearbox, roll etc was way better contained and car felt lighter on feet compared to Punto,
SO overall I felt the Figo is better than Punto, but many will disagree with me,
So I cant say all reviews are sugar coated because a lot of people has variety opinion
Regarding new Figo 1.2P vs Swift 1.2 K series too the same happened, a lot of people said new Figo has lost its roots etc, but I felt its still under control, its lost its super tight feel but has a more commuter friendly feel but with less playful nature, The old SWift was bloody awesome to drive ie the 1.3 petrol, the 2nd gen with 1.2 was good and the current one too is very good but I wouldnt say the SWift is better than new Figo or vice versa, both get equal scores in my book in terms of driving fun, which is surprising because the old Figo was like ages ahead of anything Maruti has ever given to Indian market but new one has come down to a SWift level which is what I say class benchmark.
