has anyone got or driven a suzuki swift sport (new shape) i like the looks of them but not sure how they drive

 

i like them rob

 

I have a 2007 Swift Sport - it's great! Lots of fun, happily punt it around town and the local country roads as well as once driving from York to Northern Scotland and back again!

Not been in the facelift model.

 

what engines are in them

 

1.6l

 

the one ive seen is a 57 plate in white 23k on the clock

 

I had one 57plate. A lot of fun & much better value then a Mini Copper Only thing i can say i didn't like about it - was a v stiff/bumpy ride over speed bumps passenger in the back would jump quite a lot. Think its the sports suspension but being a sports car you would expect that i suppose

 

My dad looked at on Rob the other year in Rochdale. Loved everything about it, but he just preferred the Corolla T-Sport.

Seemed a really good car tho mate!

 

Mines an 07 plate with around 33k on the clock. It has done the miles really well. The only small issue is that I get a CEL at odd times that Suzuki said will be fixed with an ECU reflash.

 

...only just had to get new tyres for it - the virtue of relative light weight and lowish power. Still pretty nippy though.

Oh the stereo is deeply bad - put in a decent set of speakers, head unit and amp.

 

I test drove one...with the salesman in the back Seemed quite lively and pointy but also a bit harsh and the interior is very poor in comparison to the Fiesta zetec s which I eventually bought.

 

look quite nice those rob

one thing i would check after looking at a few on ebay, the seats seem to have really bad bloster wear even on a 32k milage model, remind me of the old renault 5 turbo ones

 

My Nephew had one .Looked good and went Ok ,but he said it was very heavy on fuel .
He changed to a Fiesta which looks very nice but has diesel engine and does about 60+ mpg .!!

 

Got a 2010 model. Brilliant car. Get ~ 36 mpg. Engine has loosened up now. Feels rapid when over 4k revs, handles brilliantly. With today's fuel prices, I reckon it's the best 'mini' performance car out there.

Loads at the Ring - I rest my case
