It really depends on your needs sir. I suggest you can start off with the comparison of the 2 cars: pros and cons. Examples are sedan vs. hatch, A/T vs M/T, 1.3 vs 1.5.

Hintay tayo ng comments from tsikoters that could give their inputs on the performance of both cars para may idea ka on what to consider.

The practical choice is the 07 Honda City.

-bigger interior cabin for passengers
-bigger space in the trunk
-gets better fuel mileage (than the Swift)
-better aftermarket support (if needed)
-better casa service
-easier to find spare parts in the future (when these cars get much older)

Honestly, the only thing going for the Swift is the Mini-Cooper look which is just a fad. The interior seating is cramp, especially for the rear. The cargo area is very small, barely enough for a week's worth of groceries for a single person. Fuel economy is average.

And Suzuki casa is not that high on the customer satisfaction list, in fact it is ranked very low. And parts (outside the casa) for the Swift is a big question mark. That is important if you plan to keep this car for more than just a couple of years.

Personally I'd pick the Swift. I could live with the utterly space-less car because I'm single and I don't have kids nor much cargo to lug around. Of course, during times that I need to bring friends and cargo, the car is useless. But for the most part, I think the Swift is ok. A little bigger than an i10, but none of the awkward proportions. Nowhere near the Jazz in terms of space, not even the Yaris/Mz2.

But the engine of the Swift is really, really preppy. And it's chassis is good.

But all this is moot if you need a car with even a bit of practicality. The Swift just has none. And as GH said, Suzuki isn't renowned for after-sales support.

Weigh your priorities, it's the best way to decide.

between the two, sa City ako.

agree, +1 on this, im with the city on this comparison.

[blue_gambit]

Hmmm, I like how the Swift looks vs. the City... so Swift ako!

Sa parts availability, I think it shares some parts with the vios... Just check out the engine spec of the two... err maybe i'm wrong?

[tidus1203]

City. You are buying a used car so automatically I can sense you value practicality... Cause if you don't you would have gone new...
