Thank you , I’m really pleased you enjoyed the video , stay safe during these challenging times

[@leesykes1645]

Fabulous car ; Bought 1 last week the SZL model ,,, 54mpg town driving and over 60mpg on long run ,,,, best car iv had

[@DamoDrives]

That’s great news and glad you enjoying it. Amazing mpg and really good value for money

[@rodney031974]

The model I’m looking at. Still happy 1 year later? Still great mpg?

[@AnthonyMcDonald-x5q]

Great review.bought one 3 weeks ago .can’t fault it.after years of larger cars since 1966. Turned 80 a few weeks ago and wanted something smaller. Fits like a glove Tony. Clacton on sea

[@tobyandtim]

What a great review, I've just had my poor Suzuki Swift written off a 64 plate SZ 3, just over 86,000 on the clock never missed a beat. I have been a bit mystified by all the new models and specs, loved that you took it on different roads , This is the model for me . By the way the cup holders were square in mine too !!

[@DamoDrives]

Really pleased you enjoyed the video and it might help you choose your next car 😊. The brand is very reliable , well put together and good value for money although the latest cars are a bit more due to the hybrid system and tech

[@tobyandtim]

@@DamoDrives oops just ordered a 70 reg SZ-T ....thanks for making my mind up

[@user-bu6cc1rr9u]

I am now watching this review and I have now ordered the 2021 szt model auto test drove it it was great can't wait 😀

[@DamoDrives]

That’s great news , congratulations 😊, did the review help with the buying decision or had you ordered the car already ?

[@user-bu6cc1rr9u]

Yes I watched your video a few times for details and decided you only live once so selling my corsa vxr and getting a suzuki swift thanks for the time you put in to this review

[@DamoDrives]

I love driving and sharing the experience with people both for entertainment and to help with buying decisions, do you mind me asking where you purchased the car from ?

[@user-bu6cc1rr9u]

Suzuki nottingham Mansfield branch

[@vasts1479]

I am most likely going to buy this car , so I've watched several reviews. This is by far the best. Thank you very much, good work. PS: The cup holders on the sx4 are also squared :)

[@DamoDrives]

That is greatly appreciated and hope it helps you make a decision easier once dealerships are open again (although it does depend on which part of the world you are in :)

[@sunilayya8948]

Few are aware that James May declared the swift as his favourite normal car in 2018 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaXdoYV6bdVgq8k

[@KK-nj8nb]

We LOVE Suzuki Swift

[@DamoDrives]

They are good little cars. If you have not watched it I have just uploaded a video on the new Swift sport which i feel is the 1 to go for (although it is not exactly cheap)

[@5340robert]

Top review i`m considering one of these as my next car.

[@DamoDrives]

Very kind of you to say, they are good value for Money and certainly if you get a pre reg version you could save even more

[@PetrolPed]

Nice vid mate. Such underrated cars 😢

[@DamoDrives]

They certainly are, you don’t really see a huge advertising push for them on TV and a really bargain.

[@pashupathigiri2375]

More inputs regarding performance and characteristics of engine and gearbox would have been welcome

[@DamoDrives]

The great video did you mention mpg or did i miss that bit,PS love worthing i am very familiar with the area, For me, the overall shape is not to my taste, but I have to add that my brother, just bought this car and is over the moon with it,he lives in east Grinstead,thanks again.

[@DamoDrives]

It’s around 55mpg. Glad you enjoyed the video as well. If you want some more Suzuki and worthing content have a look at the ignis video. Where did your brother get his car from

[@peterryan7827]

@@DamoDrives I think it was the main agent in Crawley,i will double-check next time i phone him, once again thanks,s and yes I will check out your ignis film.

[@francesoregan394]

Great review on a great wee car,well done.

[@DamoDrives]

Thank you Frances glad you enjoyed it

[@nelliewallace8661]

The pricing and finance information is all wroing or our of date, according to the Suzuki website, the SZT Hybred is £14,049 as at today's date and the discount is £1k and no 20% off.

[@DamoDrives]

Please note at the time of filming 6 months ago it was correct and the figures given to me by the dealer

[@flurries-lilac]

Is it still as impressive when you’re paying an extra 2 grand for it?🤔

[@yveposner7299]

Very good review. Definitely shortlisting this car. One question though - what's the peripheral vision like? How is it in terms of blind spots?

[@DamoDrives]

It’s actually pretty good but you can get blind spot monitoring on some of the models. Just reviewed the swift sport which had it. There is a POV review of the car which might give you a better idea kzbin.info/www/bejne/ime5e5eXiZmSZq8

[@user-bu6cc1rr9u]

In the uk the 2021 szt model comes with blind spot monitoring

[@Mrpegs1]

A great little car the only issue is the insurance is high groups starting at group 22 for the SZ3. Not bad for older people but makes it difficult for younger people , which is shame nice video Thanks

[@DamoDrives]

Really pleased you enjoyed the video, I am surprised the insurance is high , swift sport I just reviewed would be even worse 😳

[@Mrpegs1]

@@DamoDrives I am thinking about buying a SZ3 as a older person my insurance goes up slightly. I did ask my insurance provider about high group who stated that it could be down to sourcing parts in the unfortunate event of having an accident etc the parts would highly likely be shipped from Japan. I must add just what they said. Still think it is high for a 1.2 engine .Maybe why so many get A Fiesta ,Corsa etc I prefer the Swift.

[@DamoDrives]

I would try and different insurance provider if you can. I have had that with previous cars as well, they are good little cars and lots of gadgets, swift sport is the best of the bunch mind you but you are looking at a £22k car

[@graemewilce3057]

YEAH THE SUZUKI IS A GREAT LITTLE CAR i HAD A 2013 SWIFT AND iT WAS VERY QUICK I THINK THE ENGINE HAD BEEN SWEPT UP A BIT, I CERTAINLY DIDNT MINED . I EVENTUALLY SOLD IT TO MY GRAND CHILD [MALE] AS HE WAS ATTENDING UNIVERSITY AND NEEDED SOME ECONOMICAL CAR, I LIVE IN NEW ZEALAND AND JUST ABOUT EVERY SECOND CAR ONE SEE'S ON THE ROADS ARE A SUZUKI SWIFT, THEY ARE MORE POPULAR THAN THE MINI WAS A FEW YRS AGO ..

[@cvscu1945]

just got one today, I had a Alto from 2013

[@DamoDrives]

Congratulations on the new car 👏 hope you are enjoying the drive

[@henleyhiggins3075]

My dad has the sz3 (2020) model and says its a great car with really good fuel economy but the steering is a little wooly which is probably because of the suspension travel which is very comfortable, cant have it both ways lol

[@DamoDrives]

That’s very true , good choice by your dad

[@RowanJohn1000]

Is the motor loud on the highway? Thinking about trading in my 2011 swift for a 2020 swift. Mine is loud as hell on the highway

[@DamoDrives]

It was pretty good for a car In it’s class. The engine did well at cruising speeds so I did not think it was too bad. Waiting for the new swift sport in the coming weeks and will test it again for you at speed. Best thing is to test drive 😊, if you are near the dealer I was at please tell them I sent you. Thanks

[@SurvivorIce]

Any relation to Robbie Fowler?

[@StefanCrysell]

Haha was just thinking the same! Uncanny eh!!

[@adam8080]

considering one of these as my next car but in Auto SZ5 what mpg would you get and are these reliable

[@DamoDrives]

I am not sure on the mpg for an auto but I would expect 50mpg to be a good estimate. Reliability on all Suzuki’s are very good and come out as 1 of the best manufacturers in customer satisfaction surveys

[@adam8080]

@@DamoDrives Thanks for the Reply My current car is a mitsubishi mirage and all although it gets very bad press it as never let me down and been very reliable

[@userjon7]

Is the swift hybrid comes with another high capacity battery.what about its maintenance cost

[@DamoDrives]

I dont think it will effect things. LithiumIon batteries are generally really reliable and you get a warrenty.

[@TMckenzie007]

I don't see why you wouldn't want a hybrid car? I can when it work it's fine when it breaks all the savings you been trying to save now comes to reality with the cost of repairs and they do break, reliability is the biggest issues. No spare lol tyre £100 the repair kit dont work, all the tech not important a 2014 Peugeot 108 have all those tech. Reliability is what I'm interested in

[@DamoDrives]

Yes it is more complex but not as costly as a full PHEV. You get a warranty buying a new car so should not really be a concern. Suzuki are very reliable and voted the 2nd best manufacturer in the Uk. I agree with the lack of spare wheel. Yes you could buy a used car but not really the point of buying a new car, you can make a considerable saving buying used .

[@johncockram248]

I don't like it

[@DamoDrives]

Is that the look, tech or the car in general ?
