I own a 2019 GA version, I bought it on July 2021 pay R2890(because of the low price I got it at before it got famous, plus balloon Due to circumstances at the time of buying the car), the Cash price came to about R164K including delivery and licensing. Insurance via Hollard insurance(Got it via a car insurence broker) Is R1540 with no Basic excess. Full Tank on a Huge petrol increase Doesn't even reach ZAR 900. The key to owning the car is having a reputable RMI approved mechanic who can do all repair work on it once the service plan is done, and it will save you Thousands of rands.

Wonderful story and advice 🙏🏽

[@sakhilemavimbela]

Am actually shopping for a swift really love the practicality of the car and fuel efficiency 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

[@embakubmotoring]

I hope it works out for you 🙏

[@80sidd]

Low maintenance costs as well

[@leratosarahmokwena4680]

Love the car, wanted the GLX at first but settled for the GA due to costs,anyway nice review!!

[@embakubmotoring]

Thanks a lot, I hope you’re enjoying the car.

[@thashilramdass]

There's a space under the floor for the emergency triangle in the Ignis, should be in the Swift too. Under the floor there's like two things on either side that hold it in place once the floor is down. It sits just right of the spare wheel.

[@Mvelo_]

Good video man. A really amazing car considering the car market prices of late and what you get in the swift.

[@embakubmotoring]

Thanks a lot🙏🏽

[@ethaniel_the_1st]

Whoa thats wild. I have the 2007 glx and it gives me 13.5km/l 🥴 Enjoyed watching!

[@embakubmotoring]

Geez, that’s such a huge improvement in the new one…

[@Moola93]

Get your car checked out mate that's too high especially for a swift bro. My 2006 polo facelift did better figures than that and ain't no way polo will be more efficient than a swift.

[@luvmskae]

Love the interior & shape of the car 🔥

[@rickyelvis3215]

mate.. the car is spotless!

[@atobee2595]

Those aircon controls look great!

[@embakubmotoring]

They’re probably my favourite part of the interior.

[@atobee2595]

@@embakubmotoring ja they are incredibly well done!

[@JustinElliot1990]

I was looking for a Long term review of the Swift. Great review mate. Question...So I am looking for a Swift or a Mazda 2. Which of the two would you recommend especially in terms of long term reliabilty?

[@embakubmotoring]

I've honestly never experienced any Mazda product, so I can't really say, but the Swift really is good...the Mazda seems like a more premium car I guess? At least from afar...

[@JustinElliot1990]

@@embakubmotoring Ok thanks anyway, I heard Mazdas feel more premium especially the interior. But in terms of reliability I feel Suzuki is better, who knows. Keep up the great reviews! I’m subscribed

[@nathanaelbartholomew]

I prefer Mazda. Something about Mazda has got me looking

[@Rehann67]

Very thorough video. Thanks. I can see you are a neat guy. Look at the garden.

Wow dope video man.. very Pro.

[@embakubmotoring]

Thank you 🙏🏽

[@jordanbakoume8112]

I've heard many people complain about the rattling of the swift. Would you say it is major factor..like does it bother you alot?

[@embakubmotoring]

Nah, not at all, a lot of cars do have rattles, even stuff like Mercedes…

[@daisytanya1018]

Can you adjust the height of the front seat ? Up and down

[@embakubmotoring]

Yes you can, but only the driver side, mine is in its lowest position…

[@lynbauer6240]

I’m soooo undecided whether to get manual or automatic. Why did you choose the manual?

[@embakubmotoring]

I just feel like for this type of car you’re better off doing the gears yourself, the auto is just very basic, and for longevity purposes the manual will last forever

[@m.hazmanm.hazman1591]

Good men and too much smile introducing this car 😂

[@nomondezondi1496]

Loved the review.

[@embakubmotoring]

I’m glad you did🙏🏽

[@kgotsomolapo7078]

whats the name of the song you played when testing the sound. cool review thanks

[@embakubmotoring]

I’ve linked it in the description

[@katlegothoka6120]

What made you choose to buy this car specifically?

[@embakubmotoring]

A number of reasons, it was relatively affordable, light on fuel, and ride comfort is amazing… Also I just love how it looks and it’s size

[@Gifted2Sniper]

Jesus! 7k per month. Couldn’t you negotiate a better deal? With you current deal they are charging you for being a beginner driver but I still think you could get a better deal.

[@embakubmotoring]

Interest rate is high…

[@tebogomohanoe5443]

my sister pays 8k including insurance

[@Lindobz17]

That's a lot hey, first time driver paying R5 176 including insurance with no excess and balloon payment...

[@KeKgosi]

I am in a process of buying this car and it's my first car, been doing my lessons but a bit confused, cause I drove an old Kia picanto and it moved without an accelerator boost,but when I drove old Tata Indica it needed an accelerator. So I just wanted to know with Suzuki Swift GL manual, do you need to balance with accelerator?

[@embakubmotoring]

Not really, only if you’re doing a hill start

[@KeKgosi]

@@embakubmotoring Thank you bro.. I don't wanna embarass myself at the dealer 😂😂😂

[@DeogratiusJrMichael]

hey brother., i have a question but first of all thanks for the videos and the knowledge regarding cars we really appreciate the contents.. my question is can you install a Suzuki Swift GLX/Sport radio on suzuki swift GL or GA..??

[@mthobisimbanjwa4189]

Sir or anyone which car would you Recommend for Uber/bolt Business the car that is easy to maintain That not cost too much THANKS IN ADVANCE 🙏🏼

[@embakubmotoring]

Something like a Suzuki dzire should do

[@mthobisimbanjwa4189]

@@embakubmotoring Thank you 🙌🏻

[@ericastone1415]

Are you sure the service cost is R1400? Suzuki told me it's R3500 per service.

[@embakubmotoring]

Mine was quoted R1400 for all the stuff that was done…

[@Moola93]

It depends on which service interval,prices are different and I'm pretty sure dealer prices vary as well. After every 45000km the service will be the most costly.

[@rivoningo]

You sure know how to take care of a car.

[@embakubmotoring]

🙏🏽

[@boitshepo95]

During highway driving how bad/good does the car handle during high speeds?

[@embakubmotoring]

It’s fine it doesn’t lose control or get shaken…

[@balindilendondo]

Does glx have auto folding mirrors? I saw one auto folding and I was shocked coz I haven’t seen that on mine😢

[@embakubmotoring]

Yes the GLX has power operated mirrors 😂

[@Moola93]

You simply don't have the GLX ausi...bao ropile😂 you probably have the GA or GL, did the car come with a touchscreen infotainment system? Your answer is very key at this point...

[@balindilendondo]

⁠@@Moola93 lol it is GLX, yes has touch screen system, I have to press the button to fold the mirrors, they don’t just fold on its own when I turn off

[@balindilendondo]

@@embakubmotoring you have to press, they don’t fold on its own. This other one folds on its own when he switches the far off lol so I saw a video showing how to activate the thing so when you turn off and lock it just automatically folds

[@Moola93]

Lol oh that's what you meant...glad you got it sorted now😊i was really worried they had ripped you off. Too many scammers out there selling cars to gullible potential clients.

[@reitumetsem9646]

You are paying more on insurance. Ask for a review n work from home discount

[@sigondemedia6193]

So sir with the instalment and the interest the bank gave you, do you have a Balloon payment on your vehicle?

[@embakubmotoring]

Nope, no balloon...

[@thorisomoabi2059]

What’s your range from a full tank?

[@embakubmotoring]

Around 630km

[@sithembilen2451]

Doesn't the screen bother you at night when driving or is there a dark mode?

[@embakubmotoring]

When you turn on the lights it darkens, if you’re connected to Apple CarPlay the apps switch from white to black theme…

[@mechailreydon3784]

Can anyone explain which models have the infotainment system or is it just an extra you have to request?

[@embakubmotoring]

Only the GLX

Naked insurance can give you a better offer.

Chill my guy what’s with the fuss, have some water.

[@mathmondlenin9347]

jesus! 😂😂😂 that's a lot of money!

[@daisytanya1018]

It's alot hey, with that money it's the amount that can be paid for Suzuki Baleno. But I think it's high because of the increase of interest rates, maybe that's the reason

[@embakubmotoring]

It really is

[@embakubmotoring]

@@daisytanya1018you’re right, its because of the relatively high interest rate… When I bought this the Baleno facelift wasn’t yet available, but yeah the Baleno is also a good choice the GLX of that is about R270k and has a lot more features like headsup display, LED headlights, and cruise control…
