Sure yun boss.
Check mo sa review ng Suzuki Commonwealth.
Walang audio controls sa steering wheel.

Kalungkot tinanggal yung audio controls sa steering wheel. Pag nasanay na kasi n meron lalo na pag madalas fm radio palipat lipat ng station hassle pag aabutin mu pa yung touchscreen unit

Regarding the 3M tint, Suzuki commonwealth charge me P2650. Unless its a fake meron namang 3M nakalagay sa tint when I checked this afternoon. 3 choices lang ang binigay sa akin for 3M. Super Dark , medium and Light. I was made to understand na mas mahal ang super dark. Since I dont really like very dark tints anyway, I chosed the medium tint.
You can pay Suzuki commonwealth a visit. Look for Omar, he is a kind and helpful salesman there.

regarding insurance, I did'nt get insurance from the casa. I paid in cash kasi. Plano ko isama ko nalang siya sa fleet insurance ng mga vehicles nang company namin. mas mura atsaka mas madaling magclaim.

One thing I can really say, is that this suzuki swift is really value for money. I purchased a local LC200 VX last 2012 and it does not even have a back-up sensor, back-up camera, gps. Puro extra cost dealers option pa iyon and cosidering that it cost P4.2M base price.

I don't know how reliable it will be but All in all I had 5 suzukis and so far satisfied naman ako. My first suzuki was a suzuki Fronte way back 1984. The Suzuki Fronte has 660 cc engine and it was I think smaller than an Alto. Currently our family still owns 3 suzuki's. A grand Vitara, A Jimny and now this suzuki swift.

1984 was 1 year after Ninoy died and the Philippine economy under Marcos collapsed. One by one all car manufacturers closed shop until only Mitsubishi remained. And for the next 4 years the only brand new car that can be bought in the Philippines was the box type mitsubishi Lancers. Hahaha those were the years.

Good day sir, based on your experience of owning many Suzuki vehicles over the years, may I know what casa is the most efficient for you in terms of quality service and availability of spare parts? Maraming salamat po.

To be honest hinde sirain iyong suzuki. Thats what I really like with it. Isang beses lang ako nasiraan nang major, when the fuel pump failed when I was parked in SMX MOA. Pinahatak ko going to Suzuki Pasig. The diagnosis was a busted fuel pump. I paid P28k for the replacement with a brand new unit. I was also told that it can be repaired, total cost would be P6k pero hinde nila alam kung gaano tatagal bago bumigay ulit, I decided not to take the risk kasi nakakatakot tumirik, wala kasing indication. it was all well when i parked, the next thing ayaw na umandar.

Iyong bushing nang grand vitara ko nasira na rin, iyong talyer na pinayusan ko had a machine shop na nagfafabricate. P3.2K total ang nagastos ko including wheel alignment.

Iyong racks end nasira na, merong Japan generic for toyota, parehong pareho sa rack end nang Gv na first gen ko, iyon ang pinalit okay naman. Less than P2k nagastos ko.

Tapos iyong dipstick naputol, bumili ako ng replacement sa suzuki pasig parang P400. Tapos sa neighborhood gasoline shop lang ako nagpapachange oil, available naman ang oil filter. iyong Air cleaner filter less than 700 pesos.

iyong 4x4 vacuum motor nasira din dati , i paid P8k yata for the part. hinde sirain ang suzuki so having to shell out for maintenance once in a while is acceptable.

Nagsara na yata ang suzuki Pasig, pero dati diyan ako bumibili ng parts, i find their pricing very reasonable. Malamang mas mura pa sa banawe ang parts pero malayo sa amin.

Btw My 1984 Fronte was sold way back 1992, I really have no idea if it is still running.

iyong first gen 2003 2.4L AT Grand Vitara that I have before is still with my nephew in Kalibo . He bought it from me for a kamag-anak price. Still being used daily, magastos sa gas but since short travel distance lang naman sa probinsiya okay lang sa kanya. Again quite reliable and wala siyang problema sa parts kahit nasa probinsiya siya.

My 2nd generation 2008 Grand Vitara is still with me. quite reliable pero ayaw gamitin ng eldest anak ko kasi ang lakas sa gas, averaging only 5 - 6kms/liter in todays very bad traffic in Manila so I sent it to Kalibo as my service replacement for the 1st gen Grand Vitara that my nephew bought.

My toy jimny is less than a year old so expected na walang problema. The swift is my son's new car. gusto niya kasi matipid sa gas but stylish. My other son will turn 18 this December and I am encouraging him to learn to drive rather than rely on his driver. He wants a swift too or if i can convince him, I would buy a celerio , another suzuki which I also consider value for money.

Thanks in advance

Rattling sound occurs during start up and idle in the morning ? Or afterwards if the engine is heated nawawala na?
