 Helmut.'s recommendation | |
cheap, very economical, reliable, roomy.
indoor ventilater could be stronger and quieter
Most folks don't usually think of a Swift as a family car, but it definitely is. The 4 door model is quite a bit roomier and longer than the 2 door version, and has a luggage compartment almost like a small estate. It is probably one of the cheapest cars to run at all. Drives a bit like a gocart, with good cornering and easy to park. Although it doesn't need much maintenance you really want to keep an eye on the quality of engine and gearbox lubricant. In particular it pays off with a swift to insist on the very best API quality rating.
Occaisional rattles may turn up. They usually come from a door panel or from the dashboard itself. Nothing serious that a screwdriver won't fix.
