    this is the typical idiotic indian mentality. Its only in India that suzuki sells, all their cars are s"crap" , I just don't get why are Indians so dumb. Suzuki does not give any value of money but still people run behind it as if the cars are like mercedes. "real thing:" give me a break the swift interiors are dark and ugly.people in india are just not ready to accept new car brands, they are happy in that shell. Just because it can be repaired by a roadside mechanic people are happy to buy suzuki, what they don;t understand is that for the price they are paying you should get a better technology and no a normal roadside mechanic should not be able to repair my car it shows how poor quality it is. | Reply

    India is the biggest money making machine for Suzuki. In India, they make a profit close to 1/2 Billion per year. I am in USA for a year, never saw a single Suzuki on the road. So I did internet search and came to know they sell SX4 model in USA, which is the lowest rated model in the segment due to poor quality but never saw a dealership. In India, after Padmini (60 years old) Maruti is God. just like a Harvard fail is King in India. | Reply
