2014 Suzuki swift 1.2

[kai s.]

Yup, will go with the dealer na lang siguro.. Ayoko lang kasi na parang peperahan pa ata ako. I asked him twice pa nga nung una nyang nabanggit na kelangan ko magbayad para sa CTPL, sabi nya sakin for 1 year lang yun.

So I did my research, and he kinda choked on me when I asked for the third time and told him what I found out. I think I'll be regretting buying from him, seems he just wants to get the most out of me and my money.

I haven't given him the manager's check yet, though I did sign the loan docs from BPI. I so want to back out and get from Resty now. Alarm signals are ringing in my head.

Yeah wag na kung shady yung SA. Sa Shaw, Resty and Princess are both good to deal with.

Get insurance for CTPL for the same company that you are getting the comprehensive insurance ... it will be much much more convenient when the time comes that you will need to make a claim ... claiming from one insurance company is already a hassle ... claiming from two will be a nightmare ... they will be finger pointing at each other for the cause of the delay ...

Get opinion from a reputable insurance broker and that broker will tell you the same thing ... your choice really ... convenience now or convenience later when you really need it ...

That is your Spidey sense tingling ... would be smart to follow that or regret when the nightmare comes ... cancel your order and get from someone more trustworthy ...

Mukhang nakatsamba ka lang ng engot na SA. Honest mistake. Madaming ganyan e. Pero if you're really uncomfortable, palitan mo na. Baka puro honest mistake. Haha

Thanks! Very good point, I'll be going to BPI/MS Main Bldg. later today to get CTPL for my car. Really inconvenient that their insurance doesn't have CTPL off the bat, but oh well.

As for the SA, it could be an honest mistake. Good thing this thread exists (as well as the CTPL thread here in Tsikot) I learned a lot and managed to clarify and ask about it. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. He is, so far, competent enough. He even arranged a PDI (Pre-delivery Inspection) Personnel to explain the ins and outs of the car as well as the engine, oil, tires (PSI), compatible fuel, etc. which aligns with what I've read so far in this thread.

Just got my Swift yesterday! So happy!

Yun nga lang to follow daw yung rain visor. But the Navi Card is already there kaya patas lang hehe

Also, I've already sent a join request to the Swift 1.2 PH fb group. Thanks

EDIT: Huh, dalawa pala fb group ng suzuki 1.2 ph?

[redenjaja]

Kumusta ba Suzuki Genuine FS Oil? Kaya ba n'ya every 8 months/10k KMs change oil, with 1 liter top up in between?

Just do a test drive for both cars. Then flip a coin.

When the coin gives a result, just follow your heart hehe.

Hmm not sure if members of that group are still in this forum.

Wala pang .25L yung sa top up. Gulat ako kasi may ganyang extra 1 liter din ako. Pero ni hindi naubos yung half liter na natira from the initial fill up (kasi 3.5 liters nagamit)

Pinalitan naman nila yung oil filter right? Ano yun, hindi na pinabayaran sayo yung extra 1 liter since hindi naman nagamit?

Yup replace ng oil filter pag top up. Brought my own oil eh, Motul na FS. So may extra 1.25 liters pa ko dito, at least I only need to buy 3 for my next change oil.

Good day po mga sir at kung may ma'am din. Hehe. I'm deciding on Swift 1.2 MT or Yaris 1.3 MT. I'm leaning more on to the Swift though, for: fuel efficiency and price difference. Yung durability naman cguro depends also on how you use the car, pms and stuff... I am still single po, so the passenger space is not an issue for me as most of the time I'm the only one nakasakay(self-drive) or plus one on the passenger side once in a while and very rarely used ang back seat even with my old car.

My only concern po is that I regularly bike (road bike/tt bike), and usually after my ride is derecho nako work or go do some errands kaya I prefer to put my bike inside the car (I'm currently using a Revo, which is very convenient kasi pasok buong bike with one of the 2nd row seat folded). Could anyone share or confirm if kakasya kaya bike sa swift with the back seat folded and the front tires of the bike removed? Mahirap kasi iwan kung naka bike rack sa labas ng car, coz it would be too flashy for the crooks. hehe.

Saan ka nga nagpapa-change oil, madam? Nung nagtanong kase ako sa Cubao how much top up sa 45k ko, parang hindi sila aware eh. They're insisting to do a change oil kahit FS pinakarga ko sa 40k. Paraki pang FS right?

oh, and where and how much yung Motul? 5w30 s'ya? balak ko sana mitasu eh, pero i heard na maganda nga daw motul, mahal lang.

These casas allow you to bring your own oil:

Pasig
Sucat
E. Rod (pero check if tama yung quote kasi may service advisor sila na baguhan lang. LONG STORY.)

Mura lang dapat ang 45k PMS eh, "light" service lang kasi so low labor cost at konti lang palitin. Tanggal pa cost ng oil for you since fully synthetic nga.

May mga service advisor na either wala masyadong alam sa kotse or talagang to the letter sumunod sa service menu regardless of the optionals. Tell them na sa ibang casa ka na lang magpapaservice--if this doesn't change their minds about the change oil/top up thing, best to transfer na rin talaga.

Yes, Motul 5w30. I buy from our favorite mechanic/tuner, Autotech (who knows Swifts very well) at 500 per liter. Meron din Motul sa S&R and lately sa Blade pero di pa ko nakakakita ng 5w30. Parts Pro on Facebook also carries Motul, may delivery pa


Aaand sa last question, at my 20k PMS ako lumipat to fully synthetic.

[Jepster]

Ayos, sagot lahat ng tanong. Thanks madam!

Try ko sa East Ave muna. Mukhang mas okay SA dun eh. Yung sa Araneta kase, uhm, "by the book". Pag ayaw din sa East Ave, diretso na ako Pasig.

Sa East Ave, they might try to charge you corkage for the oil, just ask them nicely to waive it hehe. Tapos ask na rin for the usual 10% discount sa parts and labor.

kai engine wash naman

Nakow yan ang never ko pa rin natry haha. Tho bumili na ko ng degreaser

Bro, East Ave and Araneta are the same group.

Also Commonwealth and Pasig are the same group.

Good luck, feedback na lang.
