    Had a swift previously for my driving school car, and was very impressed. This time I went for the diesel and so far its been no trouble at all. Fuel economy is important when you do 30000 miles a year, I am getting 59 mpg teaching learners!

  • Living with it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Had the swift nearly two years now and never let me down. Always serviced when it needs it, 9000 miles might seem too close but changing oil regularly makes sense to me.

    What's most practical about your car?

    The size of the boot is almost laughable but you don't buy a swift for the luggage capacity! The car is just so easy to drive it makes up for anything else.
