Default Suzuki Swift mods

Does anyone know if the new Suzuki swift is worth buying and if there are any good mods to improve performance? My scoob is costing me far too much to run.

My wife has had one for a year. Excellent little car and great fun to drive. Engine likes to rev and the gearchange is very sweet. Much lower road tax, insurance and fuel cost than a Subaru! It never does less than 35mpg, even if driven hard.

The Sports £11.5k and you should easily get the dealer down to £11k.

Yes.

If you want that car - and it is an excellent car - then thats the price you pay. An equivalently specced up MINI Cooper, which is probably the most sensible comparison on a like for like basis, is about 14K. Although some people would prefer the BMW badge I've owned both and would go for the Swift if I was buying again.

Pre reg and demo Swift are available around £9-10K
