Comparison Test: 2018 Volkswagen Polo v Suzuki Swift v Mazda2 v Citroen C3 | Drive.com.au

Baby hatchbacks prove little cars still have plenty to offer.
We let the new Volkswagen Polo Launch Edition take on the Mazda2 GT, Citroen C3 and the Suzuki Swift GXL in a city car battle.
City cars are under siege. The rising tide of compact SUVs and deeply discounted alternatives from the next class up threaten the place of affordable, well-equipped and fun-to-drive models serving as the entry point to mainstream manufacturers.

Nice review! You mentioned NVH in all cars but the Suzuki... Other reviewers have pointed out that the Swift can be noisy at speed or on rougher/bumpier surfaces. What were your impressions?

[@ablanuza76]

I have the previous model and have test driven the newer one. Really doesn't bother me. I like hearing the engine roar. As for suspension, it's a tad stiff. But that stiffness helps a lot when taking on bends and sharp turns at speed. Hardly any body roll.

[@oddities-whatnot]

I like to hear the engine. I had a new Toyota Yaris 1.33 two years ago. Smooth engine but totally devoid of any character. Very dull car. Got rid after 6 months.

[@kp4643]

Mazda 2 and Suzuki swift are both very good looking cars. However I like how Mazda 2 has no turbo and therefore more reliable.

[@angrysocialjusticewarrior]

Turbos last a long time. And even if they do die, the engine will still run fine... it just won't be as powerful as when the turbo is working. So buying a car with turbo is risk-free.

[@kp4643]

@@angrysocialjusticewarrior with me I usually buy used cars so if the previous owner hasn't replaced oil often enough or reved hard from cold then that causes wear. It's just a pain if you want a long lasting car. Emmitions are killing all cars.

Turbo = better fuel economy or more performance, decreases longevity of car.

[@kp4643]

@@jay-uo2bi turbos reduce fuel economy. Try look at the current mpg when the turbo is spooled in your car ( if u have turbo obvs)

[@jay-uo2bi]

@@kp4643 Notice how I said 'OR'? A small turbo engine will use less fuel but can output just as much or more than a larger, but na engine. The point is if you use a turbo in a engine, you can either keep the size the same and increase power or you can use a smaller turbo engine and produce as much power but use less fuel.

Do not bother with auto stop start. It’s not worth it, the fuel it saves is dismal for the annoyance it causes. These cars only use around 400-700mL per hour idling, a couple of minutes at the red light is nothing.

[@StillAliveAndKicking_]

J Ludo I have a new Polo. Stop start is great. I don’t even notice it, by the time I’m in gear and ready to accelerate, the engine is going. At lights I’m not pumping out smelly fumes while waiting.

[@djmadmax9486]

@WalksWithTurkeys Maybe you're not "pumping out smelly fumes while waiting" but you're a massive annoyance for everyone behind you, waiting for you finally moving away (and in that time everyone else is pumping out smelly fumes just because of you not moving away properly). Start-Stop does save veeeery little fuel, its more a marketing-gag (for so many years now) but some still think it's magic. Think more about what happens to your engine and all the connected parts when its permanently shut down, started again, shut down, started again... VW loves you, you're the best customer :)

[@StillAliveAndKicking_]

Sven Heilbrunner Nonsense. I start moving just as quickly with stop start active as I did when driving a car without it.And yes it saves fuel and pollution.

[@djmadmax9486]

@@StillAliveAndKicking_ Again... the wear and tear of all of the connected parts to the start stop automatic, the making of new spare parts for the worn out ones alone create so much more Co² than your warmed up engine idling on a red light.

[@nickrichardson1317]

I bought a red Polo Beats for the great sound system and it’s light stylish cabin. The front seats are really comfortable. Mine is a manual & I can really make it fly by paying attention to the rev counter. The first gear needs a quick up change to second & driven so the revs don’t drop gets the best out of it. It’s quiet but the engine can growl which I like. On a recent 400 miles round trip on the hottest day this year the air-con was perfect. I liked how the car told me to take a break too!! I’m getting 45mpg presently without trying! I would not have the Swift! It’s wing mirrors are huge and I found it hard to place that car on the road. The Polo is a grown-up car & better than a Golf GTi in many ways, as on todays roads the extra performance doesn’t get used. I love the Beats!!!

But I came away disappointed after I had driven them. They were not as good as they looked to drive. Even a modern day Ford transit van handles better than a Golf and Passat.... something car channels don't tell you - but go experience them yourself and see if you do not agree with me. PS Prior to driving the Suzuki I never gave much thought to Suzuki.

Man loving the sound of the Turbo Swift! Never thought a 3 cylinder could sound so good! It's definitely on my short list this year =) Ps not to be a hater but you guys do realise a warranty isn't legally binding in Australia right? Plus to be eligible for these "unlimited km warranties" you need to service them at the specific intervals that get very pricey after awhile, had a Hyundai ix35 a couple of years back where in order to keep my warranty the dealer was trying to screw me out of $150 every 10,000kms for an air con pollen filter, or where they wouldn't rotate or balance the tires as part of the standard servicing fee $400 which meant servicing was uber expensive (just for a warranty). So as I've learnt - stick with something reliable and well built with a good reputation ie (Toyota, Mazda, Suzuki) - generally Japanese made vehicles will be far more reliable than their Euro-trash equivalents as reliability is one of the corner-stones of how these brands emerged in the 1980's to become Australia's favourite vehicles.

The Polo is a dull car, dull image, dull brand. I got a new Polo Tdi Match in 2012. Worst new car ive ever had. Rattled like a tin of plastic cutlery, poor ride quality, poor handling with a total lack of feel from the steering to the point it felt dangerous, absolutely dreadful. Got a Suzuki now. Tough, fun to drive and reliable and a LOT cheaper

Er, this is a 2018 model under test.

That citroen is the ugliest thing I've ever seen!

polo is best among this all followed by suzuki. Its really surprising how suzuki has dumped such a useless tin car in India while other makets get a much safer and better car..
