Mayank, no doubt you are a reckless driver otherwise you must be having an average of minimum 20 kmpl at any speed with AC on. I am getting 25-26 on highways with most of the drive between 100-150 kmph with AC on. This model is suitable for those who travel most but in your case, it is extreme as you have driven 5000 kms in just 12 days which means about 450 kms per day. In this way you will cover about 300000 kms in two years. In my opinion you have choosen the right car. Now don't abuse the car and get the timely service preferably after every 7500 kms or in your case say after every 15-20 days against after every 10000 kms as the company claims. In this way I hope this car will serve you like anything. Please keep us informed through this column about the performance of your vehicle. Thanks

Dear Mayank, Don't worry and be happy with your Car. Diesel vehicles are meant for Running only. But, if you are running vehicle on high speeds, then you must go for SUV like Mahindra, Tata or Chevrolet, which are made as per Indian mentality, traffic and roads. May be, by chance & unfortunately if you met an accident you shall be less injured in Scorpio or Safari as compared to Swift D'zire.

sir,please help me out in confusion with purchasing swift dezire or Etios or some else which car is preferable in deisel
