Has the Tour H1's stripped down design made it more reliable and easier to maintain than the regular Alto?

I do not believe the Tour H1's reliability will be tested in the first few years, but rather in 5 or 10 years, when these cars are all used up. We’ll see if the stripped down design really pays off in the long term.
Is it possible that the Tour H1 might represent a smart choice for budgetconscious private buyers as well as taxi operators?

In fact, I know somebody who bought a Tour H1 for personal use and they say it’s the best. It is the most cost effective car they have ever owned, says. Sure, no frills, but it gets the job done, and puts more money in their pocket.

Are you serious? The Tour H1 is not a family car. No rear power windows, no basic safety features, and that annoying speed limiter? If you are that strapped for cash, you're better off buying a used regular Alto.

I don't think you are getting it. For a certain type of buyer, the Tour H1 could be just the thing - a college student or a retiree who just needs to get around every now and then. Not everyone needs, or wants, all the bells and whistles.

It's not the car that is the problem, it's the stigma. Can you imagine trying to resell a "taxi model" car? Wiping out any savings you might have had up front, your resale value would tank. It is penny wise and pound foolish.

Since I’m a minimalist, I actually like the idea of the Tour H1 for personal use. It’s all the unnecessary stuff stripped away and you have the essence of what a car should be. Also, fewer features means fewer things to break down the line.

You all are forgetting the safety aspect. Some safety features you’d expect to find on other models might be missing on the Tour H1. Is it really worth saving a few bucks by compromising your family’s safety?

I think the Tour H1 might have its niche in the DIY crowd. Buy it cheap and slowly upgrade it with aftermarket parts as you like. With that said, you could actually end up with a pretty unique, personalized ride for less than a higher end model would cost.
Is the Swift's safety now sufficient to match its rivals?

Not even close. It will always lag behind in safety until they fundamentally change the platform.
Is the Swift's safety now sufficient to match its rivals?

It's definitely improved. This is a big step for six airbags as standard. It's not a tank, sure, but mostly safe.

Airbags are not all there is to safety. The Swift is still light, which poses a problem in crashes with bigger cars.

Maruti has done enough to meet most buyers, I believe. Alright, let's be real, if you’re looking for tank like safety, you’re not shopping in this segment anyway.
Is the Swift's safety now sufficient to match its rivals?

It's safer than it used to be, but not class leading. But it's probably "safe enough" for its intended audience.
Is the Swift's safety now sufficient to match its rivals?

The improvements are good but it’s just reactive improvement instead of proactive. For Maruti to lead in safety, not just follow.

Until we see new crash test results, we shouldn't be judging. The crumpled metal is the proof in the pudding of it.

It’s not the best, but it’s a great first car. Maybe new drivers would want the more modern tech and the better safety features.

The Swift is the Nokia 3310 of cars: it does the job, it’s reliable, but there’s much more exciting stuff out there now.
Is the Swift the best first car for new drivers in India?
30 December 2024 08:09
For learning, yes. For buying, maybe not. It’s a great thing to learn on, but new drivers might want something a bit more premium for their first purchase.
