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.

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!

...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.

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.
