Maruti Swift Dzire – Being Test Driven in Water
Hi all!
Take a look at this car……
Can you guess which car is this? This is Maruti Swift DZire, taking a dip during a test drive in Manglore. Today morning while surfing the net I came across this news story on dzire on many sites. So just sharing it with you-
”It’s a common test-driving practice to attack a corner a bit aggressively and “see what she can do.” A swan dive was the answer a driver in India received from a four-door Suzuki/Maruti Swift DZire during a test session. The car skidded out of control, hit a large rock, and then tumbled into the Shambhavi River. The attempt to emulate the Amphicar wound up more like an impression of Alvin, unfortunately. All four occupants were injured and ended up in the hospital, while the car itself appears to be a total loss upon its winching to shore. Reckless driving has been cited as the cause. We wonder if driver training in India is as dismal as here in the United States, and judging from the looks of the car, we’re inclined to think that the injuries were due to a lack of seatbelt use.”
Look how it came out…..
So, please be careful while driving. Or you might just end up in a swimming in a river.

Dear all
I am a proud possessor of a new dzire . the car is fabulous . but these pictures of car taking a holy dip has scared me a bit . actually , i have observed that at speeds above hundred ,when brakes are applied in dzire , the car swivels dangerously and goes out of control . one of the acquantainces is also facing similar problem. the problem has vanished after getting new alloy wheels.anyone else with similar issues…….
Harry

Ya I got my Dzire a month back and has run 600 Kms and out which it did a U turn once (like in action movies!!!) and skid from one end to other end of road other time. Luckyly there was no damage to the car.
I dont understand why Maruti has compromised on the passenger safety with those crappy tyres
Please advise what tyres/alloys did you choose
Thanks
i have driven 200 kms yet
havent faced such problem yet.. but brakes make noise when applied harsh…
and i find lessp ower in second gear
Hi,
I just bought 15″ prestige alloys and 195 sized Goodyear Eagle tyres. Now when driving down the toll road I can feel the difference in the road grip and stability of the car. I guess it is Maruti’s cheap tactics that people buy the top model. If any one realized they did not give the much needed de-fogger on the rear windscreen in the Ldi or even the Vdi models.
