I would say go for the Swift Considering Economy that the car provides you..being an Ikon owner/driver et all, its an excellent car NO DOUBT but the expenses take toll on you after a while.. shes a high maintenace babe! Swift is a really sweet car..and also resale value as someone suggested is also pretty much better as compared to the Ikon!
