Hi mate
I too like the look of them - did you go for the 1.5 ?
Not a bad package at all, and for that cash you can't go wrong, but i would keep it a long time as residuals are expected to be up to the usual Suzuki swift standard
Full road test report when you get it though !

Was reading about these in a car mag recently (can't remember which one). They gave it the thumbs up, although IIRC they had some problems with the keyless entry.

hi, its the 1.3 it was the only one they had.i looked at the specs and you only get 91 horses.the 1.5 has 101 horses.not much difference and the 0-60 time is 11secs for the 1.3 and 10.5secs for the 1.5.its not got keyless entry but im not bothered.little engine is eager to go and i was up to 80mph in what felt like no time.just remembered its the end of the month.i will probably pick it up next week to get full road tax for the begining of the month. i just hope its reliable.theres supposed to be a gti version coming out soon and that promises to be a cracker.

Yep great car! Got a friend who works at a Suzuki dealership he says they really can't build them fast enough!
I have to say if I was to buy one it would have to be the 1.3 90+ bhp
lighter than the 1.5!
easier to spin the revs up,
cheaper to insure,
cheaper to buy,
cheaper to run...
the cars got winner written all over it!
Nice one! Real smart buy!
Plums.

Took one for a test drive for the wife. Not a bad little car and well spec'ed. I just remember the clutch pedal being designed for girls. It was so light that it was difficult to find the bitting point.
Didn't get one in the end
