I'm 5'6" and i find that the swift's legroom is fine. I was at a dealership this monday and with my father (same height as me) sitting on the driver's seat adjusted to his preference, i still had a lot of legroom behind him. I daresay if not on par, just slightly less than our altis so i don't really think it is too tight. The celerio is worse so you will be better off with the swift space-wise. If it is worth the price premium, that's for you to decide.
this is what i do, when i check out rear seat legroom:
i first sit on the driver's seat and adjust it to my driving comfort.
then i sit behind the driver's seat, and see just how much legroom i have..
in many small cars, either i fit in the driver's seat, or i fit behind the driver. but not both.
for example, i fit ok in the wigo and the mirage. but not the swift, celerio, eon, or old i10..
also, ingress and egress in the wigo and mirage are ok, but not in the rest..
