suzuki swift (AT) VS ford fiesta HB entry level (AT)

[cta2]

Just want to see your opinion... both cars for city use...

Both brands I have experience (both were so-so...)

I still like both, so its not a practical choice (not a toyota, not a honda, not a mitsubishi)... purely a want (though budgeted... both less that 800K)

Im on the older side, car will be purely stock (in black color)... more like a toy for me.

which is better, long term (I keep cars for more than 5 years)... which will give me less headaches in terms of maintenance?...

for me, right now, its really a toss up

really don't know.... but personally, i prefer the swift because of the looks.... parang maski maluma eh classic and eye-catcher pa din.

I'd take the swift too. Maganda yung swift, maganda din ang handling. Haven't tried the fiesta, but I'll go with swift on your choices.

Given the choices I would prefer the Swift.

Swift for me it's rarer and mas class tignan. Panalo sa long term. Maintenance sa tingin same lang depende nalang sa gamit kung maalaga. Fiesta mas sporty lang.

Swift gets my vote. classic talaga looks. di na luluma.

pero if you are the type na mahilig mag mod, mas ok fiesta. thinking of the souped up fiesta used by ken block in one of his gymkhana videos. hehehe

Swift! Never runs out of style!

But please don't get the sedan version.. Very very ugly

technically- yes ford with all it's gadgets and stuff but swift is a very successful car in europe more than the fiesta- and as i recall the swift in the Phillippines are cbu from japan while the fiesta is from thailand

i vote for the swift just because there are already to many fiestas roaming around our streets and there's already an incoming all new fiesta daw

speed- both are fast
looks- both looks nice
handling- pretty much the same except if your a race car driver with an ultra sensitive feeling

thanks for your replies... mukhang swift wins... would probably wait for the facelifted fiesta, (though not really a deal breaker for me... I like both versions)... My hesitation with ford is their service; even if they have a good network. (This is personal experience)

Suzukis are reliable but does not have enough casa network...

really a toss up... though I guess Im leaning more on the Zuk.

Thanks again guys...

Also, I think some of the posters above got confused with the variant that you're looking at. Just to be clear, were you looking at the 1.4 AT Fiesta? If this is correct, then i does not have all the niceties that the 1.6 offers. It doesn't have the dual clutch tranny (4speed lang ata), plus it only has 1 airbag vs 2 for the Swift. The entry level Fiesta only wins in terms of price, which is lower by 30-40k.
