Suzuki Swift long distance trip - (Stability, Fuel consumption & Planned mods)

I drove a Swift from Kimberley to De Aar, that's about 3 hours max and from De Aar to Bloemfontein via R48 and that's about 4 hours max and 1 full tank plus R300 refill. It was a smooth drive. That's when I realized Suzuki is on its own lane.

[@KeKgosi]

Which is Suzuki swift Manual? Ey man tell me here, when you start the car, do you need accelerator and clutch balance to move it? Or just clutch balance it?. I was doing my lessons, I did one with old Kia picanto, and only needed to balance clutch only to move it, then I did it with old Tata Indica, I needed Clutch and accelerator balance in order to move without switching off.

[@zethembebenedictmbatha]

Nice video. For me personally as a person living in Gauteng, a car needs to comfortably do 160km/hr. Driving slow isn't always the safest thing, you need something snappy to overtake people who can't brake properly.

[@sfjvariety582]

Agreed! 160km/h is a comfort speed for me 🙈

[@karabotau8376]

I'd recommend 195/50/15, ive had them since 2019 though ive changed due to wear but they have a sportish look, well balanced on curves and aren't too low for road noise and comfort.

[@theboyleigh]

Bro I had a choice of getting a golf 7 gti or a audi rs3 but I got a Swift because of your reviews, I'll never regret this choice

[@nawanekhomo3159]

My sister is planning to buy her first car and I have been recommending this car because of you my brother and I told her to subscribe on your page and video is great because she wants a small car for 200k or less, will drive from GP to KZN and back maybe 3 times in a year.

[@itumelengselolo126]

How many people bought a swift because of Muzi 🙋🏾‍♂️

[@user-fh8fh3kg6g]

The drone shots are amazing, Muzi! Can't wait to see more.

[@motloangmopedi8183]

I had the privilege of driving Suzuki Swift as a car hire a few times, I first had it driving to Port Alfred from Johannesburg & back, I must say for it's size and engine capacity, it gave such an amazing & comfortable drive, unexpected from the car it's size. Had different cars for hire, and in between, there would be a swift, I must say it's not a bad car for it's size and performance, also very good on fuel, now my personal take for your Cape Town trip is, travel in it as is, no change of Tyre size, those are perfectly fine as they are, for as long as they are in good condition, just go for it, only your normal service, and that's it. Bigger tyres may affect handling on the road, which may be uncomfortable

[@mahlatsecharles5036]

I drive a cx5 changed my stock 255/65R17 to 265/65R17 best decision ever. The handling has improved drastically . Im just not sure if anything happens on the road the insurance company might play hide & seek with my claims since u know how they have all the excuses in the world to tell you why everything is your fault n why they can’t pay.

@Dr, for the next trip please consider calculating the fuel consumption manually just to see how accurate the trip computer is : (distance traveled ➗️ by amount of fuel put in)

[@kudzaim5434]

[@nevernthirbeni535]

I absolutely love your honesty and practical tests. Please keep it coming man.

[@ozemsadventureofrandomstuf252]

Awesome summary brother😮 I really loved the swift but I thought the baleno would be a better option🤷🏾‍♂️🤐 Guess what? My budget was no more than 300k and I ended up with a fiesta ST🤔🥹 I just fell in love with a good condition well maintained example and I just get everything from it. Fuel consumption is around 9l per 100km if you drive mad otherwise it hovers at 7,2l. Always buy a car you happy with. If I got the Suzuki I would be crying 😢as I’m on freeway often😮

185/65R15 will be perfect. 195/55R15 will be heavy for the small car and you will feel each small bump and handling on rough surfaces will be worst. High risk of punture when hitting potholes etc. I had 195s on my tazz and they were not good...

[@kwakomhlangulana4915]

Safe travels to your cape town trip be safe my bro please no Speeding❤❤

[@tarantula441]

I just purchased this car, thank you to muzi for the advice. If i may add, i noticed this car has an aluminum thermostat housing, which is great, it seems to be a very similar design to the toyota tazz engine, most of the parts are very simple and basic in design , i did notice alot of plastic tho, which i suppose is common in all cars today at every price point, however the critical components seem to be well built, i didnt notice a power steering pump, so i dont know how the power steering works? May be electric power steering? It has a front stabilizer bar which is awesome for handling. The clutch slave cylinder is plastic, seems like a strong plastic but it will clearly fail around the 50000-100000km mark, the tappet cover is plastic and a host of other plastic parts. The car is great, the GL comes with an upgraded sound system, i knew it came with a better radio than the GA but i didnt expect a good speaker setup which has some good bass and clarity. Theres a small delay on the accelerator sometimes, i think that might be from an electronic throttle? Clearly they havent perfected that method, not as immediate in response as an old fashioned cable system, but a small trade off. If you know your toyotas, you will see alot of the same or similar builds around the engine bay, very similar to the old corola 160i and toyota tazz 1.3 and those cars are still running today.

[@tumim8271]

I had 185/65R15 When i used to drive SanderoT900. I drove to CT to PLK every 4 to 6 Months Back and forth between 2018 - 2020 and never had any issues, Until one day i drove with a friend from JHB to CT with His 3 series Bima. I think he had 18 0r 19Inches. Bra we hit one pothole and got a puncture. That time i didn't even know that New Bimas don't come with a spare wheel, we had to wait for hours for Towing company to reach us. The Insurance told him that he is not within 200km radius required therefore he had to pay from his own pocket. If you stick to 120km/h you are looking at 3 full Tanks but with so many trucks you will be doing alot of change downs avg 130-140km/h. It's gonna be fun.

[@ChrisOReilly23]

But regarding the Swift, I have driven numerous rentals for the company I previously worked for. And the Suzuki Swift is one of thee best cars I have driven and would get one given the chance. Put R200 petrol from Port Shepstone to Durban, driving at the highway speed limit, Bobs your uncle...

[@ntshembo]

2010/11 1.4 polo 6r. Annual cape to Limpopo trips was about 3 full tanks at avg 5.6 to 6.5 l/100km. But mostly cruise at 140 + if you travel off season then it's much easier to cruise at 120 and just trucks on the road. December its like city driving, everyone's on the road, forget about overtaking in a 1.2. Now With a 3.5 v6 c300, i get between 8 to 9l/100km only if disciplined at 129kph. 4 tanks.

[@mogauramaphoko4494]

[@MoSpaceDig]

Regarding the tire question, what’s the difference in power between the model you have and the Sport? Intuitively, the more power you have the more rubber you’ll need for optimal traction at higher speeds and rates of acceleration. Otherwise if you get unnecessarily bigger tires for an underpowered car, you’re likely to negatively impact your fuel economy as the car needs to put in more effort to get the tires moving. That’s just me spit balling here 🤔

[@Mimeniia]

I dont know the technicalities but I think you are spot on. Its the same with tyres that are under inflated, your fuel consumption goes up.

[@MuziSambo]

We from a POV of someone who has driven that car , Id say that car is not bad but I always felt that the car is too high and feels sketchy when you have to hit sharp conners so maybe some thicker tyers and if at all possible a lower suspension 🤔🤔 (but you may feel the bumps a bit more)

I have driven that car between Limpopo and Gauteng on 2 occasions. Firstly I took it from PLK to Pretoria via the N1 and I didn't enjoy my first drive with it. I was going at roughly 140 and there was a lot of wind that day so you can imagine the shaking. Second time I drove on the N4 going to Grobblersdal, this time it was a smooth drive. You can easily drive 140kmph on a straight line, but be more careful on the curves. I would easily own one if I didn't have issues with small vehicles. I just love sedans more

Consumption is also determined by the driving behavior. I easily do 850km on 1 tank. Sometimes even 900km. Well my car is 55l. At this current stage it's 6.4l/100km. December I drove from Malelane to Bloemfontein in 1 tank although I did take a detour in Vosloorus. If it's only highway driving I do 5.8l/100km. Driving behavior, by the way my Jetta VI is 10 years old, 5 years with me. Couldn't be happier.

Hi Muzi. I am just frustrated because all the cars that fall under my budget are ugly. Im talking cars like Suzuki espresso. Renault Kwid. I qualify for better cars but they cost amounts of money I would never want to spend on a car. These car brands need to make cheap cars beautiful as well. I feel like they make them ugly on purpose to push us to the more expensive models. That is the only justifiable reason the designer of the suzuki espresso still has a job. I think I will settle for a second hand Ford figo. The prices seem low and negotiable. Also, its not bad looking. Not beautiful but at least not embarassingly ugly.
