Cheap to insure and run
Boot struts don't hold boot up common fault with the swift.
I have owned my Suzuki Swift for about 4 months now after buying it of a mate for £200. I then spent a further £600 getting it on the road. Then added a induction kit, Eco Tek valve, super chip, adustable rev limiter and 15inch alloys. I didn't know what to expect from the Swifts performance, I got told that they go like hell but I didn't believe at first until I took it for a spin. You forget that it's only a 1.3. after 3000 revs it really pulls all the way up to 8000! and with a top speed of 123mph you can't complain. 1 of my mates owns a Clio 1.6 16 valve new shape, Swift blows that off. Another 1 of my mates has a 205 1.6 GTi, Swift beats that n all. You really don't know what these go like till you go in 1. And best of all it's Japanese so reliability is not a problem not like the French cars out there. I'd recommend a Swift GTi to anyone.
