Great review. I Like your format where you start driving straight away without talking about cup holders and other super boring stuff . Other reviewers would do well to follow your format.

Great review. I've been driving one of these since August last year. Like most Suzuki's it makes more power than the figures suggest. The Japanese recently tested the car on regular and premium fuel. Drained the tank and dyno'd the car between tests. They found that the car actually has 165 HP when running on premium fuel. The car has an 'adaptive ECU'. Anyway, totally agree with your review. It is still a performance bargain in my opinion, plenty quick enough and thoroughly entertaining handling. The punch out of roundabouts is a right giggle. With Suzuki's reliability record as well, what's not to like. Love it.

Doesnt have artificial sound. Good. If I had a Golf R, the first thing id ask the dealer to do is disconnect the soundaktor device. Id rather hear muted or natural exhaust sound than fake crap. People also have to realise, and im old enough to remember owning cars with aftermarket sports exhausts, they make a LOT more noise when cruising on the motorway. The Abarth 595 has a constant rumble and although I love the sound, at motorway speeds on long journeys, after a while you kind of wish it was a bit quieter. Id rather have the power and better refinement at speed if I was getting a car long term. This Suzuki seems a good all rounder and im sure the driving experience more than makes up for loud noises pumped into the cabin. Great review mate.

I have the automatic version, with exactly the same specifications, and it has a proper 6 speed torque converter gearbox with paddle shifters, which react very quickly. Here in Australia I have only seen one or 2 others.The automatic is an additional $2000 and every colour except white is an additional $500. So, the white automatic costs $27,490.00. I bought a blue one.

Great review and interesting format too. I have a swift 1.0 turbo and its still a lot of fun and the engine note is actually sportier than in the sport. I love its Mini like upright, curved windscreen and am surprised no reviewer mentions this. It makes it so easy to place the car on the road.
@prepaidport31183 жыл бұрын
yea i have tested the swift 1.0 turbo, and quite amazed by its engine note especially downshifting with the paddle shifters. In the end, i went for the swift sport 1.4M because of the manual option. Swift sport has slightly better suspension system. Both are great cars in my opinion.
@sunilayya89483 жыл бұрын
@@prepaidport3118 sport is much better than 1.0. Looks beautiful too. In my country import duties are very high and the 1.0 was around 25k usd. The sport will be double that due to being 1400cc. You guys are so lucky in the west to have reasonable car prices. Enjoy !

Test driven one. Way more fun than a Mini and you're right, it IS lighter and far, far more chuckable around the corners. More toys on-board and of course, Suzuki Cars' legendary reliability. Downside? No Android Auto. But there are too many positives with this car to ignore it. Seriously, get one.
