[samuelschick]

those parts are easily available don't worry about that. just the windscreen cbu swift tend to have this cracked windscreen issues include mine.

cracked windscreen.. but how? still deeply considering a SSS.. built quality seems so so only even for a CBU.. the Vitara seems to feel more solid compared to the SSS although both are CBU.

mine 1 cracked was due to small stone hit the windscreen ....not crack by itself...
i owned it more than 3 years, nothing wrong with the car....now still like the 1st day i bring this baby home...
Since you already test drove it but the build quality still not meet your requirement then you should think about other option....

 

[maui303q]

Ic.. Cracked due to stones on highway is pretty common.. The built quality seems to be not up to my expectations as an CBU. Then again the only Japanese with nice solid built is Nissan but then tan chong is pretty lousy in terms of after sales and poor service.
How so you find the built comparing to the 1.5 ckd?

 

[ckyee22]

I never drive 1.5 CKD before...
perhaps you can find your ans here Swift Club Malaysia.

i personally think the build quality for sss is better if you compare with 1.5 ss. especially the welding part. yeah, mine is due to stone chip but there's some case which the windscreen cracked by itself when parking under a hot sun, happened to my friend's sss

 

[maui303q]

Hmm.. i supposed the welding is better due the the fact that it is a SSS.. Cracked windscreen by itself is probably due to having foreign materials inside the windscreen during manufacturing.. happened to my friend's myvi.. rear screen.
I'm in the process of getting the documentations done for this white unit posted on mudah. 09 auto. Hope things turns out as what i hope for.
Btw, any other things i should know about this car? fuel consumption etc.. all of you guys still on RON 97? How's the damage for the pocket?

 

[ckyee22]

09 auto?
hope you read the car spec ( comparing Auto vs Manual ) before you made this decision...

 

[maui303q]

Yeah.. read about it.. Seems quite a distance in terms of performance..
I can't live with manual i want a swift but something more powerful than the 1.5 version..

 

[samuelschick]

bro, sss + proper manual gearbox is the most awesome combination and yes the performance difference is huge due to sss auto share the same gearbox with 1.5 swift. i'm still on ron97, sometimes i did mix with ron 95 thou when the kiosk only carries ron 95. fuel consumption the best i managed to get was 480km until the warning light came out but that's only my long distance journey to kelantan. city drive normally around 380km average per full tank on ron 97.

 

[maui303q]

Hmm.. Making me think twice about getting the auto SSS auto now.. The 09 unit is reserved at the moment.. Any nice unit on sale now that belongs to one of the members? Manual also can.. Would like to try the manual one see if my kopi o lisence still can Pakai or not.. Hehehe

mine 1 around 450 km/tank...city driving with light foot....fuel type= Ron 97

 

[maui303q]

How many liters of RON 97 for 450 km?

 

[samuelschick]

guess u already saw the sss for sale in swiftclubmalaysia forum, the freen's car is tip top with a nice set of tanabe coilovers. know him personally, a nice friendly guy.

 

[ckyee22]

Approximately 36 liters per 450km or 0.232sen/km
