The 80's Suzuki and GM Love Child He Got for FREE!

[@retrophil8241]

I had 3 90's Suzuki Swifts here in Northern Ireland. One was a 1.3 GTI 16v Twincam and was a great little car.. Definitely a forgotten jdm classic.

[@roadracer46]

.... pauses video, opens Craigslist and searches for Chevy Sprint turbo. 0 results. Closes Craigslist and continues watching video.

[@nikrbawker]

Not entirely nesscesary to get one of these. You can customize lots of different local fwd hatches to be similarly fun, in my opinion. I have fun with my 05' manual Aveo. Still need to do more to it though, exhaust sounds terrible super stealth. Gets great mileage though often 36mpg with some combined city hwy.

[@alvinalcid5617]

So awesome to see these still running and running well! Had one in high school... 30 years ago, would love to own one of these today!

[@shahrozalijafri8816]

Over here in Pakistan this was a jdm import and called the swift

they where sold in australia as the Suzuki swift and the Holden Barina ( holden being owned by GM).

[@joshjlmgproductions3313]

Why would you keep driving it after rolling it the first 5 times?

[@saxyvi]

I had an '86 Forsa. My mom bought it for $4995 brand new. I could fill the tank for $11 and I could go 300 miles on that amount of gas. Unfortunately, I had to get rid of it in 1995. It still ran fine, but a hurricane smashed the driver's door and all the glass.

[@mrmooney25]

On the big wigs at the BMW design facility in California used to drive one of these to work on the regular and when he didnt he drove a De Tomaso Pantera. I always loved this car more secretly.

[@yanb1981]

awesome!!

[@thetreblerebel]

Way better and unique than the Pantera

[@starfox_wr-45e93]

Ah, the good old Suzuki Swift (as i know them in the U.K), I believe this may have been competition to the Daihatsu charade gtti "the world's most powerful production 1.0-litre" at the time, for a long time, which also a three cylinder turbo. I always thought these were ultra cool. Both are pretty much extinct now here.

You can also sort'a see a bit of Vauxhall nova styling from the GM side of things.

[@bigstef2010]

Had this car back in the 80s. Was so much fun to drive. Like it a lot.

[@jamesstaggs4160]

I've got it's younger cousin, a 94 Swift Gt. Scary at interstate speeds due to the lack of antilock and super short wheelbase, but loads of fun on any twisty back road. If I were a better mechanic I'd figure out a way to fit the Samurai awd system to it, slap a tiny turbo on it for some much needed extra kick (about 1750 lbs with 100hp, another 30-40 would really make it fun) and shove the engine in the hatch. I think the chassis just due to it's ridiculously low weight is deserving of more power. I don't think I'll ever get rid of it. It's just way too rare and different.

[@dalehart8687]

Marcus if you enjoyed that then you should try find a Toyota starlet GT or a statlet glanza GT.. those are the real little monsters.

[@anoviejo7908]

They were available as a Pontiac (Firefly) Chevrolet (Sprint) and the Suzuki (Forsa).

In Europe we had 1.3 16v with 100hp. Same engine was later used in the next generation body, which was around 100 heavier. This was very popular rally car. We did not have the turbo version. The only turbo micro-hot-hatch we had was Charade Turbo. BTW, afaik this car was later made in Hungary.

Have never wanted a car more in my entire life lol!!!

[@terbennett]

It's the predecessor of the Geo Metro/Suzuki Swift you probably do know about. I remember a girl I went to high school with had the Sprint turbo and it looked pretty cool. This is the first one I have seen in years and I had never seen a JDM model until this video.

[@CasperthefriendlyG10T]

Not JDM. Canadian market car

[@TheJourneyAhead]

Great car. I own 4 of these right now, but it's called the Swift here in Germany . But with the 4 cylinder engine. Makes about 68hp without a turbo. 2 of them have the 3 Speed Automatic, but it's still pretty quick. I also have the GS Version, which was the "cheaper" sport version below the GTi (101hp). It makes about 72hp with the 1.3L 4 cylinder engine and a different carburetor. Bring it back on the road will be my winter project. I also will make some project videos about it.

[@Blurky82]

That's awesome, I also have an '86 GS (and mk3 Gti) here in the Netherlands, there were not a lot made, just 34 total sold here... 2 years ago I went on the Nürburgring with the GS, pretty sketchy. Also with the Gti a couple of years ago, that one is undergoing mayor restoration right now. My mate filmed a lap in the Gti, don't mind the wheels, I threw them away a long time ago😆 kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4DPdolmbL2tg6c&ab_channel=Dutchie

I had one of these in my late teens, in the UK. It was originally a Canadian car, it was insanely fun with the 1 litre turbo engine. I'm sure it had a digital dash, and think it might have been tuned a bit. After I sold it a few weeks later the gearbox blew up.

[@jumpinwired1]

Great video. So glad to see some light on this generation.

[@ZAMBRANATOR]

I love this car. In my country you can see a lot of these. The Chevrolet Sprint (that I kwow in Colombia) Is considered a colombian patrimony, for their reliability, low consumption (around 70 km/g), their simple mechanic and despite its low horsepower, its torque is impressive and it easily overcomes the complicated topography of my country. I'm the owner of one and drive this car is the best sensation, and it's so good to largest journeys too!! It's a greatest car
