Owner's Review: Suzuki Swift (2005-2012)

[@thivagaar]

I was enjoying the Suzuki Swift. Had it for almost 5 years, did like 300k++km. It is a great drive indeed.

[@KonWaiLuen]

What did you replace it with?

[@thivagaar]

@@KonWaiLuen I bought a hyundai Tucson 2013 model. Reaching 400k km now. So far so good. Planning for a new car soon.

[@aircommandslipperz]

my dad bought the first batch 1.5 cbu from japan. personally i think it drives and handles better than the jazz or others from the same segment. reliable too

[@mstammyn]

I own a 10 yr old Suzuki Swift 1.5 GLX (first owner) and never had any problems so far!!! Mileage 140k. Still love it everyday till now 🥰

[@KonWaiLuen]

It's a lovely car. Very well built

[@izamriishak6847]

Am having 2010 model. Bought brand new then. Never regret. Now my daughter is using it. Planning to do comfort modi, improve abs/shock.

[@norfaizahshafie2012]

can i know whether the spare part for this car is easily find?

[@izamriishak6847]

@@norfaizahshafie2012 yup. So far no issue.

I for one did consider buying a new swift back in 2012 (back then, the residuals of a used one was still very high), and I recall it was a good 10k+ more than the Hyundai I did buy. I for one would have welcomed if they had done one in the high 50s, kind of close to the Myvi Extreme pricing, though I guess parts for the swift would have been much harder to get that’s my Hyundai after DRB gave it to proton.

I owned Swift 1.4 2013. Comfort, fun to drive, good built quality and best handling. Until now just changed front absorbers and aircond temperature sensor. Reliable car.

2008 MT SSS Owner. Got a 2nd. Was looking for car exactly like Jeremys list. Finally saw this Swift Sport and bought it straight.

[@KonWaiLuen]

Ouch! How long did u hv the car for?

[@katanasarudin]

The different beetwen swift 1.5 and swift sport by tyre nut. Swift sport got 5 and 1.5 only 4

[@Altruistic00]

What sort of parts that is hard to get locally for this gen of Swift that everyone is worried so much about actually? Is it the wear & tear stuff or major parts? been hearing a lot about this but no one really mentioned what parts.

[@KonWaiLuen]

I do remember rear absorbers costing about RM1k per pair 10 years ago

[@aletheachong8999]

Would you recommend a suzuki swift or a honda jazz for a first car? My main concern is reliability of the swift as I heard that the car has a lot of problems? But idk how true this is 🤷🏻‍♀️ and spare parts for swift easy to get?

[@KonWaiLuen]

The Jazz is the safer choice by a mile, but the Swift is not an unreliable car. Problem with the Swift is that parts are costlier and not as widely available as Honda or Toyota. It's a great first car, but you do need slightly deeper pockets to run it.

Hello sir i need auto fold side mirrors for suzuki sport

[@KonWaiLuen]

where are you from and which model?

[@tangchiokpui2518]

Hi all, if used Swift 2005-2012 better or 2013 +?

[@hdbsg3.5]

Kon Swift and Iriz which has a better chassis balance, handling and overall comfort?

[@ahmadariffin977]

I own 2008 suzuki swift 1.5 and 2017 proton iriz top spec model. Comfort, swift way better.. iriz make too much noise, the cvt gearbox, the windnoise, the suspension , and including the super annoying "creaking" sound in the cabin due to inferior fit and finish. For handling, both are really great. Iriz got lighter steering wheel compared to swift. (This is more to individual preferences) . Chassis balance,, no comment. Both feel good for me, need to ask someone that love to drive fast and cornering for the answer to that question. Conclusion, swift is better than my iriz. Even when its almost 10 years older. Planning to trade in my iriz with mazda next year. The proton car is nice but fit and finish is the worst. Had to turn up the speaker volume everytime i drove the iriz . Because all those annoying sound combined

[@zahemi914]

@@ahmadariffin977 Yups, totally right, I sold my 2008 Swift for 2018 Persona, which I, very much, regretted it. The obvious different you can feel is the jerking...which you dont get from Swift.
