Suzuki Swift Hatchback 1.3 GL 3d (2005/54) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
You get a hell of a lot of car for your money.
Costs
Cheap insurance depreciates slower than a VW Polo. Fuel economy slightly worse than some of its rivals, but still good.

On the road
Driving
Light as a feather, but quick responses result in a bit of engine noise, though little more than any other car. Smooth firm ride refuses to roll or give at all on corners.
Performance
Drive the 1.3 3dr and at 91 bhp. If you search its competitors (£7500 and less), none come within 20 bhp for the price; the performance is blistering.

Living with it
Reliability
Not had even the slightest glimmer of a problem and from what ive heard they have a perfect record
Image
Looks good especially when placed next to the competition
Comfort
At 6'8", finding a car that fits is annoying at least. In the swift I was confused why there was so much space that I didn't quite know where to put my knees because unlike other cars, my knees were not pinned down.

Security and Service
Security
Possibly quite good, fortunately I haven't had to test these features yet.
Service
Suzuki service is very good
