Overview

The Suzuki Swift design barely changed from when it was launched in 1992, to when it finally went out of production in 2003. It’s a bit old fashioned, with a cramped interior, few modern safety features and dated looks, but makes a case for itself as a cheap, economical and reliable runabout. Prices start at just a few hundred pounds for early cars.
