We test drove the updated Suzuki Swift 1.2 GLX manual to find out if it lives up to the hype.

Yep, I ended up buying the swift over the Toyota Starlet/Suzuki Baleno, Nissan Micra, Ford Figo and the Atos. We mostly travel 30km long roads in Swartland, and going 100km/h at 3.2rpm in 4th gear is bloody impressive. We don't need a big car, and amazingly handles pretty well in forceful winds. Great car for beginner buyers or just needing decent car to get you from point A to B. Really loved the review by the way, very insightful specially the parts focusing on how the car reacts engine/power-demand wise.

Got me a 2021 Japan made new Swift (GL) variant for 14 000 euro . Amazing car - city driving - 5.5l/100km tops ! Open road 5.0l/100km . Such fun, light easy to drive car - takes no afford to drive it fast on a bands - goes 175km/h 4 person inside 😍

I'm stuck deciding between the Toyota Starlet and this Suzuki Swift. I'm curious, what was the deciding factor for you?
@j33psamuels48
@j33psamuels48 Жыл бұрын
@Sechaba Ramphele For me, 2 factors. The boot size and the power-train/engine size. We as a family dont need the extra power, and the boot size did not matter cause we use the car for only driving to school and work. The moment you are going to use the car for more then that, then Starlet would have been our choice.

I Own The 2019 GA Version, and If You don’t Have Budget Constraints, Buy Yourself A GLX To fully enjoy it, Though Even a GA Model Is Alot of car for your money As even insurance is cheaper than A Vivo. The Running costs are Really cheap and If you’re buying used, It’s very easy to see a swift that has been in an accident. But Overall, It’s a Nice Car to own, Easy to Love, And Such a Huge enjoyable party to drive. NB: It has small tank(37L) but it literally Gives you back your Fuel sometimes👻.

I understand what you are saying about the car not having headlight safety features such as the option of HID/LED headlights but you get a high spec Kia picanto R240K with projector headlights, which means that irrespective of price, safety should not be compromised. They cannot only make the option of projector headlights only on the sport version.

Good video! . A lil suggestion. How about you add more shots/cut scenes (whatever you call it😅) of the things you talk about within the video. E.g. Alex mentioned boot space of 268litres, so a cut scene to the boat opened and showing us. It helps with us visualisation. Otherwise, great video! Keep up the good work. 👍🏾

They just really suck if you have a baby (most car seats require passenger seat to be fully forward and unusable) and my older swift has a massive turning circle, it's embarrassing at times as people assume you should be able to get in tiny spaces but the turning circle is HUGE, always doing 3 point turns
