“small car for tall people!”

★★★★★

written by on 27/04/2012

I bought a 2008 1.5GLX Swift in January this year so have had a few months to get used to it, and I love it! I was downsizing from a dull mid-size commuter car (VW Bora) as I have moved to a city and parking in small sapces is now a priority. This car is perfect for the job, the manouverability is great. It is fun to drive (an important factor for me!) and has good acceleration. I am tall and one of the most impresive things is the space in the cabin for a small car, it is comfortable with plenty of head room (though the top of the widscreen would ideally be a bit higher). I was concerned about lack of luggage space with the downsizing but have found it fine for day to day living, I like the shelf that efectively gives a double layer in the boot. The downsides - the gearbox is crunchy/stiff, not sure if this is a common thing or just mine but takes a bit of a shove/double clutching to change sometimes, especially reverse. Urban MPG is not that great, I do a lot of short (less than 10 min journey) and am getting about 30mpg (then again having just moved I don't know if this is normal for other cars as was not doing short journeys before). Cabin noise at speed is higher than my last car, but you expect that with a small car and I just turn the radio up so not really an issue. I bought it as it came up in the reviews as a fun, reliable, lesser known alternative to cars like the mini - and is therefore far better value for money. Have to say I agree with them completely, don't think I could have made a better choice for my situation, and I have been looking on and off for over a year and have tried most small cars on the market! Oh, and the sunset orange colour clinched it ;-)

Good Car, try and get the dealer to give you extra! We paid £8999 for a Suzuki Swift 1.5, this came with cd player, air con, graphics, non standard alloys, fog lights, key less ignition and loads more!

I loved the Suzuki Swift 1.5 GLX 5dr from the start, wouldn't change my mind about it, wish all dealers carried all the accessories for the car and would give better customer care.

“Cheap looking interior lets it down 1.3 engine. Poor...”

★★☆☆☆

written by ety286w on 13/04/2007

Cheap looking interior lets it down 1.3 engine. Poor gear box very stiff loads of problems getting 1st and reverse. Dealer changed the gear box oil to cure the problem didn't work had to get shot of it after 11 months. Poor customer service at some dealerships. Looks can be deceptive.

Can't agree with comments about the interior, which is a sgood as you can expect for the price.

<br/>I have found the gearbox very stiff, although I don't yet consider it a deal breaker.
