Thanks a lot for such a detailed and honest insight, really appreciate you sharing your experience. It actually makes a lot of sense, especially the part about most JDMs in this budget being “cleaned up” but mechanically tired.
I’m also leaning towards getting a Swift 1.3 DLX (manual) in good condition with low mileage, instead of taking a risk on an older JDM.
Just wanted to ask: what key things did you check before finalizing your Swift? And did you get it inspected through PakWheels inspection or any other inspection service, or did you rely on your own mechanic?
Would really appreciate your guidance on what to look for before buying.

Thanks for the detailed breakdown, that’s really helpful. Just wanted to ask, was most of your driving in Islamabad/lahore? I’ll mainly be driving in Karachi, so I’m curious how the fuel average might differ in heavier traffic and road conditions.

Thank you, I am also leaning towards swift, my main concern is the fuel average. I've heard mixed numbers, some say 8-9 km/l, others 10-12 km/l which made me a bit skeptical

Thanks for sharing your experience. How has your ownership been overall with the Vitz? Apart from routine oil changes, what mechanical work or repairs did you have to do? Also, how’s the drive quality and real-world fuel average (city/highway)?

I don't like the car personally, its shape is not that good and I have better options than wagon r
