Suzuki Swift Hatchback (05-11) - Review Review by Dan Harrison on 24 November 2006 Last Updated: 17 July 2008 It may lack the badge kudos of the Corsa or Clio but the Swift is a superb small car that is every bit the equal of more expensive hatchbacks. It's stylish and sporty looks mean it stands out from the crowd of usual suspects and with plenty of interior space along with a neat, well built cabin, it is also practical. The excellent ride means it's comfortable on the move but the best thing about the Swift is the handling - sharp and responsive it makes the little Suzuki great fun to drive in town and on the open road. Affordable prices, generous equipment levels and a diesel option only add to the attractive package - in short it's one of the best small cars on sale. 4.5 out of 5 Other Suzuki reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 4.5 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £9,301 - £12,133 Used price range: £2,826 - £9,715 View all used prices Get a Suzuki Swift Hatchback (05-11) information pack Next steps Suzuki Swift Hatchback cars for sale Use our cars for sale search facility to find great deals on second hand cars.
