I had one of these little gems from 1994-1996. It was a 1990 G reg car, which I ran from 65,000 to 100,000 miles. It was in white, and was one of the most gorgeous looking cars on the road. It was also one of the fastest, with a 0-60 time of around 8 secs. Mechanically, this car was years ahead of it's time. It was a 1.3 litre 16 valve engine which produced 100bhp. My 1992 1.8i 16v Orion only managed the same 100bhp with half-a-litre extra capacity! The swift was one of the most exhilerating drives I have ever had. The performance was explosive. It would accellerate with breathtaking ease from that tiny engine, and the car was so light that the ...  Read the complete review

I had a Suzuki swift for about three years before trading it in for a Rover. I did this with a sad heart, as the swift was a very enjoyable car to drive. The reason for the change was economic, as I was offered an unbelievable deal to buy a Rover 216. The Suzuki Swift 1.3 GLS is surprisingly fast for its size and its handling is excellent.

The comfort level in the car was good, in that it had electric windows and mirrors plus sports seats. What it did lack was either a ...  Read the complete review

I just bought this car and have found it imaculate. i'd recommend it to anyone and especially to a new driver. it's not exactly a small car and its not big. The car itself is spacious and has fantastic handling control and is a smooth drive. the gears are so smooth and slip in to place perfectly. There is lots of features on this model such as trip meters, mpg reader cd play 5 band radio 6 speakers 8 air bags, abs and ecp, 15 wheels, standard body kit styling, looks great, great fuel economy, cheap to run, different windscreen wipper settings such as ones for when its misty and light rain, seat adjusters including highering and lowering of the ...  Read the complete review

I,personally would not touch another of these awful little "cars" with a bargepole. The indicator lights would fuse every time I put the car in reverse,unless I kept the petrol tank virtually full {This is a serious comment - I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP!}. I got a crack in the petrol filler cap {which is a dealer part} & had a 48 mile round trip to buy an £8 replacement. The solenoid on the central locking blew,necessitating replacing the locks {they come as a sealed unit} costing £600+ {i didnt get the work done,they locked manually}. The ball joints wore,the drivers sidea was easy to replace & cost £70,the passenger side however came complete with ...  Read the complete review
