2020 Suzuki Swift Sport: Four-minute fang (POV)

[@PDriveTV]

We're testing a new style of video with this one. All about the car and showing how it drives during a quick blast on a spirited road. Let us know what you think! Would you like us to do more like this with other cars? (As well as our usual videos)

[@-heroes4041]

Great video.. but i think u have to use some gimbal while taking some video shots around the car for more stable video and pleasing look 😉.

[@PDriveTV]

@@-heroes4041 Thanks for the tip

[@stripper01]

yes these vids are great! bit of everything i like.. in car, exterior, noise .. perfect!

[@Bboytraxx]

Leave more GoPros along your "track" and get more external shots of the car. All the other camera angles aren't necessary. Just the go pro in your head it's enough

[@PDriveTV]

@@Bboytraxx Thanks for the feedback. We will try and refine it for the next one. Would you like to see this for all sporty cars that we test in the future?

[@smaxwell4062]

Just proves you don't have to spend mega bucks to buy a car that's fun to drive and practical. Frisky 4 cylinder cars with manual transmissions can be a sweet combination. Go Suzie Go🏁

[@jayman7037]

Love the sound of the boosterjet engine. Can't understand why many reviewers don't like its sound.

[@mvnorsel6354]

The low weight of the car is better than horsepower.

[@crx51]

I own one, whilst it isn't unpleasant, it is far too quiet. If anything the videos make it sound more pronounced. In spirited driving it is difficult to get a real feel for heel and toe as it's so quiet and smooth. You can't hear it or really feel it. Especially if it's not a smooth road as the noise in cabin becomes significant. It's a good fun little car though.

I just got my first car, a 2011 Suzuki SX4 4x4 2 weeks ago. I saw this vid and I was so inspired I immediately got up off the couch, drove straight to Albion Park, filled up at the servo next to Maccas, and drove this exact road (Macquarie Pass, back down Saddleback Mountain Road). It was raining hard and quite slippery, but the ‘Zuki handles it like a champ. No overheating, no brake fade. Awesome little hatch. I’m slightly (very) jealous of the Swift Turbo although it lacks the 4wd of my SX4. Thank you for sharing this footage👍

[@LunaWuna]

Nice to see it on the types of aussie roads i drive often to really show how it handles

[@Alex-wh2ud]

Love this video style! Really entertaining and useful info for people buying a car to get a sense of real world performance.

[@HughesyTech]

Took this car on a long test drive few months back. Loved it and only reason I bought a new Cerato sedan was because I have kids. Otherwise 180% would have bought the Swift Sport over it

[@chwright]

Really enjoyed this style of video - I think it would be a great addition to the end of the 0-100 videos. Great choice of location but my only suggestion would be to pick out a few similar style runs in alternate locations of which there are plenty within reasonable distance. Mix it up a bit so as to keep people wondering - Just a suggestion, again loved the new style - have fun with it!!!

[@PDriveTV]

Thanks for the feedback. We'll keep that in mind. Would you like us to do it with all cars or just the sporty ones?

[@Roger__Wilco]

I've put a deposit down on one, not too many Series II manual available in Adelaide at the moment and not in the colour I want (Mineral Grey) so I gotta wait about a month and a half for a new one to be built and delivered. That'll be over before I know it though. I drive in the Adelaide hills a lot as well as in suburban traffic so it's a great car for a daily to do that. Edit: Got a call from the dealership and apparently it's been manufactured and is on the ship now, should be early october when I get it. Looking forward to it being a nice upgrade from my bog standard GL Navi swift :D Another edit: Finally picked it up today after months of waiting and drove it home this evening! Bloody awesome first impression even though I was mostly in heavy traffic, the torque at low revs is incredible for a 4 banger! Now it has a whole 29km on the odometer :D

[@robboaustralia21]

Also from Adelaide. About to buy one too mate. Test drove the other day. Can't wait to drive up in the hills. Still enjoying it?

[@Roger__Wilco]

@@robboaustralia21 Yeah man it's a great, no issues at all. About 13000 km on it now, definitely keep it for a few more years.

[@robboaustralia21]

@@Roger__Wilco Good to hear. Got a black one. Should arrive from Victoria in a week or two. Will keep an eye out 👍 Did you go ceramic coating?

[@Roger__Wilco]

@@robboaustralia21 Nah, didn't seem worth the money for me for to let the dealership do that. Might not have been a bad idea though. All I let them to do as an extra was side window tinting because I'd already waited long enough lol

[@cliffordnyathi6539]

@@Roger__Wilco still have the car? If yes then how is the reliability?

[@marcelfotomoto]

Understeer appears to be well under control. Light weight, huge bonus.

[@ΔοσόπουλοςΒασίλειος]

Perfect road to present the abilities of a small hot hatch! I really liked that video 👍.👌❤️!

[@xXAlmdudlerXx]

With sticky tires and an added front diff this thing would be really nice on tight roads

[@brianjacobs8839]

Got mine last week in Champion Yellow. Yet to drive it along the mountain twisties with the ocean at the bottom. Thanks for the drive!

[@JesseKnowles1999]

Definetly a fun car to drive, One you can push to the limit & use all the revs in each gear without being on a race track. Definetly something I'd consider.

[@stevyop99]

this is actually really good to watch do more on that perspective please :)

[@darkovasiljkovic135]

All it needs is to make a better noise but nothing a pod filter and BOV won't fix, would be hilarious to hear the turbo whistle in this little thing

[@lukuscannon9697]

That looks like fun it's a pity the car didn't have more of an factory exhaust note

[@thelittlebigoneru]

Exellent content, very favorable addition to 0..100!

[@SPHHable]

Kangaroo Valley? Please correct me if Im wrong😁. I like this new style by the way.

[@bigbadstretch13yrago]

Macquarie pass👍

[@stripper01]

need more fang videos on other cars too!!

[@southerndiy1]

Looks like a hell of a lot of fun, but I reckon the 1.0 3 banger turbo sounds better 🔥

[@WORMGERM]

Is there anything more Australian than calling driving a car a fang?

[@Lens_Addict]

Where was this filmed?

[@bradsmith3123]

@4.05 Can someone tell me what the yellow exclamation mark warning light is for?

[@PDriveTV]

The stability/traction control system is off, which disables autonomous emergency braking and lane change warning systems. Edit: That exclamation light specifically is referring to the adaptive cruise control, which is not available when the systems are turned off.

[@bradsmith3123]

@@PDriveTV Thank you.

[@Slipstream0001]

Is this Macquarie pass?

[@Victor-tp5yu]

Cool sound

[@fabiomotoriitalia4440]

Does traction control work as a limited slip differential?

[@xu5144]

No, I don't think so

[@RRR_Motorsports]

No, but you can get lsd for manual zc33s from a few brands

[@tacuazinful]

Nice machine!

[@driftke70]

someone in NSW is making money off all the road signs.

do more of this please

Yes manual

[@jeroenjansen2709]

At least a review where not 80% of the time is spent not driving the car while watching the face of a vain and smug presenter. waffling non stop.

[@PDriveTV]

Haha. We will try to produce more of these. We prefer the car do most of the talking :)
