    We bought our Swift Dzire second-hand in 2018 and it has been one of the best decisions for our family. At that time, we already owned a Maruti Swift and a Scorpio, but the Dzire became the car that my father and brother drove the most. I was still a child back then and didn’t know how to drive, but I always loved sitting in it. The diesel DDiS engine was smooth, powerful, and gave excellent mileage. Maintenance was easy and affordable, and it served us perfectly for 10 years. Unfortunately, due to the Delhi-NCR norms, we had to part ways with that beast, otherwise we would have happily kept it longer. Later, we again bought a Dzire, this time with petrol + CNG for commercial use, which my elder brother drives. I still remember a story with that car — we were returning late at night from a wedding, 5 people packed inside, and due to heavy traffic we blindly followed Google Maps onto a very bad road. Looking at the condition of the road, we honestly thought the Dzire wouldn’t be able to cross it. But with a little bit of difficulty, the car handled it so well and passed through without any problem. That’s when we realized how reliable and capable this car really is. Overall, the Swift Dzire has been the most trustworthy, economical, and family-friendly car for us — truly a complete package with mileage, comfort, and low maintenance.

    My 2008 Swift Dzire is not just a car, it’s my trusted partner on every journey. With 1 lakh+ kms covered, from rugged terrains to river crossings, it has never once let me down. Unlike today’s sub-4 meter cars, mine offers real sedan space with a huge boot that makes every trip practical. Even without modern features like ABS, EBD, or hill assist, it feels safe, stable at high speeds, and free of body roll. Truly a timeless machine that proves reliability and trust matter most.

    Dzire is a practical and well-rounded compact sedan that appeals to a wide range of customers. It offers a comfortable cabin, good fuel efficiency, and a reputation for reliability. While it may not have the most exciting design or a host of advanced features, it excels in delivering a practical and affordable transportation solution, which has been its key to success in the Indian market. However, I recommend checking for any updates or changes made to the Dzire model beyond my last knowledge update in September 2021 before making a purchase decision.

    Maruti Dzire (1st gen) was one of the best in segment. Brilliant performance and handling, plenty of space, reliable systems, and low cost maintenance. I still consider 1st gen Dzire as better option as compared to 2nd and 3rd gen.

    This model has a actually strong supplication to me. This model is one of my favourites because of what it offers. The Maruti Dzire enhances the auto experience by adroitly combining luxury and comfort. Due to its features, this model has cemented its position as my each time fave. Its font aimed interior matches its satiny appearance, furnishing a affable and amusing lift. Because of its energy frugality and useful features, the Dzire is a great option for both short passages and longer bones .This car excellent condition, gets great mileage, and is stylish.This car well maintained, fuel efficient, and attractive.

    Maruti Suzuki Dzire is generally well-received as a practical and fuel-efficient compact sedan, particularly for city driving and family use. It's praised for its comfortable ride, spaciousness for a small family, and good fuel economy. However, some users find the engine performance to be slightly underpowered, and there are minor criticisms about the interior materials and rear seat headroom for taller individuals.

    Maruti Suzuki dzire is a good, comfort wise and performance wise it's ride and handling is so composed whether you drive it on highway or you drive it in city. The comfort level superb. It will give you satisfactory mileage along with performance but there are some quality issues with maruti like the overall plastic quality. But it's ok. The main thing personally feel that maruti really have to improve that it's front suspension. There is a little rough thud in the front suspension. But overall the is a complete package it's fulfills every need which should be a family car. I loved the dzire. Especially performance wise and in handling department.

    I found Maruti Suzuki Swift dzire to be one of the most value for money car in its segment. While the ground clearance and mileage, Power delivery and rear seat leg space are amazing , but its ease of driving and relatively good design are a boon for city driving.

    The Dzire is a compact sedan offering a balance of efficiency and comfort. With a sleek design, it's fuel-efficient and provides a smooth ride. The interior is well-designed with modern features. However, the rear legroom can be tight, and some may find the engine lacking in power for spirited driving.

    I bought second hand Dzire petrol and drove it for 4.5 lakhs k.m and then sold it for 4.2 lakh and the buyer is still happy with third ownership. Most reliable cars in Indian market. Maruti means chalte jao

    My parents opted for the maruti Suzuki Swift dzire, I am not the buyer but the main driver. It's experience quite resonates with its name, the car is Swift and hence good for city rides and also performs well on the highways. It's not a car that would fulfill all the needs at all terrains but yes it would not disappoint you if the need arises to go through tough terrains. To conclude, I would say the car is a good option for middle class buyers and is set to be in the limelight for atleast a decade or so.
