Suzuki Swift Sport (2012 - 2016) 1.6 Sport (Nav) 5d Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
In their own words
Jekyll and Hyde.
Happy to nip around running errands and around town is very docile and easy to drive. The turning circle is poor for such a small car.
However if you're in the mood for a spirited drive it is an absolute blast and very rewarding/engaging to drive without being dangerously fast. I would love to explore its and my limits on a track.
At first I thought the engine sounded strained at 4k rpm, it isn't and pulls all the way to the red line. It actually seems to enjoy and benefit from being driven hard.
I test drove the ZC33 and was tempted, but I believe this model is more fun.
It reminds me of the fun 80's and 90's (Pug GTI, XR2, RS1600i etc) pure simple fun and exhilaration but with ABS, airbags, AC, central locking and Bluetooth.
How reliable do you find the car?
AC had to be re gassed and rear drivers door wouldn't lock. Both fixed under 12 month warranty. Finish on alloys is terrible and is peeling off in ribbons (may be from poor quality refurbishment before my purchase).Does the car do everything you expected it to do?
Made me enjoy driving again.About their car
