Working in a Suzuki garage I can second this, we have very little issue with any generation of the swift sport and even when we do have the occasional issue the parts are quite cheap, would strongly recommend if after a fun little go kart

Yeah but look at it bro 😂 extremely 🏳️‍🌈

Great little car. I drove one a few years ago and can’t fault it 👍

Not to mention they're faster 0-60 than suzuki claim. Around the 7.5 to 7.7 seconds mark

i have a 2019 swift sport. fun as hell

It is a good car. I had a 2017, had it stage 1 remap, made 230bhp, totally transformed the car, nice and quick. Felt quicker than the power figures suggested.😊

​@@hetherington35with a remap you get more low end torque to which transforms the car 🤙 a DSG tune can also be a fun time on them

@@lardook DSG tune on a Peugeot that doesn't even come with an Automatic never mind a VAG DSG?

not sure about preface lift but the 2016 model has an lsd and holy shit, that thing works in the corners, incredible car

@@ruisilva3317 yeah have to admit that bit confused me

I got one running 228 bhp proper shifts

I have one and it's a decent car. Not great handling, but it's quiet on long journeys, comfortable, decent ride and it's pretty punchy in a straight line. If Kia weighted the steering correctly, the proceed GT would be an absolute hit.

Nonce

More coming!

Their pretty slow I test drove one before u got the m140i

@@lukeskywalker1666 I had a stage 2 140i 2 cars before it, faster in a straight line but that’s about it tbf, R26 much more raw and fun as a toy

@@Sam-px8le I got stage 2+ with a tu pump approximately 485bhp with a xhp3 gearbox tube LSD fitted lowered with spacers, handles pretty good in corners when it’s dry.

@@lukeskywalker1666 Yeah that’s near enough same set up I had, I had the Bilstein B8’s on it too with some lighter wheels and they’re deffo the best hatch out there for a fun daily

182 bhp so slow these days bro

ever heard of power to weight ratio? guess not. @@lukeskywalker1666

Girls car

@@lukeskywalker1666 ye man, it’s for my wife.

@@troxigg get a m140i bro get it stage 2 with high pressure fuel pump (490bhp) and say by by go rs3s

100% - plus the DSG attached, not interesting to me at all!

Well spotted - fixed! Forgot to press save 😅

@@CarsWithJB haha always the way

Don't yo mean eco boooom😂

The 1.4? Have you had any issues with it pal

@@Z3KL 1.8 face-lift. I avoided the 1.4 like the plague because of all the horror stories about water pumps. Someone I know had a 1.4 tsi fairly recently in a mk6 golf that cooked the engine, I guess because of the water pump

@@Alex-iq5biwater pumps go on the 1.8 quite common also

@@Alex-iq5bilittle girls car

​@@lukeskywalker1666Why are you so angry?😂 No one cares that you have an m140i, it's not even remotely comparable to fun little econobox cars that cost pennies to run. You should see a shrink about your apparent problems with insecurity.

No they are unrealible

Same... suzuki underating there own cars

Kia junk

@@markosbourne5967 i‘m happy with mine heavily modified

doesnt that rival the twingo rs

​@@Twongz_does_anythingnah 😂 it has a 1.5l turbo same engine in colt czt/ralliart. More level with clio 172 (same era) with simple tune no mods your looking close to 200hp

6th

Just not possible tbh

@@Lukeo_ how I know 1 for a fact alfa guliata

hell ye bruda 🤙got one for a year and a little, fbo, feels super raw and fun. I can't get bored of this car.

This is the UK car world unfortunately, people very willing to get a loan or finance to get a car and stretching far too far in a lot of cases. Makes sense for some but not everyone. To save the money up takes a long time, and once you have that cash, putting it all into a car doesn't always make sense for most people.

chocolate clutches

They would be in the next class up like the Megane RS, Focus ST and Golf R

The Mito is cheap to run, but reliability is still definitely an Alfa issue - I looked at a Giulia QV earlier this month (bought a 308 GTi instead, incidentally) and the reliability put me off. I say reliability, really the issue is the dealer network is AWFUL. Alfas don't necessarily break more than other cars, but I literally couldn't find a garage within 150 miles that I would trust to fix any QV properly. The 208 GTi is a lot of fun, but as above I just bought a 308 GTi so may be slightly biased. That said, I don't like it because I have one, I have one because I like it- could have bought many things, chose the Pug because turbo lag followed by lift-off oversteer is just fun and Pug are in their own league for that stuff.

@@ApothecaryTerry congrats on the 308, they are awesome cars and absolute weapons on a good b road and yeah I totally agree with the Alfa thing, their reliability seems to be very up and down from car to car and the dealer network is horrendous. Luckily with the MiTo, they seem to be decent at least with reliability and most regular garages are able to service them but that still leaves me a little weary. Also wanted to mention the 308 gti is my second dream hot hatch, second only to the Hyundai i30 coz I absolutely love the way they look and sound.

@@kennyd7667 The 308 is mad- the i30N is a "better" car, it's got far less flaws. I've driven a few of them though, they're more fun than most hot hatches but the 308 is just crazy...not in a Type-R "good" way, more in a group B "oh f*** that turbo lag nearly killed me" way, which I find hilarious 😁 Edit: Also the 308 is lighter than a Fiesta ST, which is crazy- and means it's genuinely efficient. All the 2.0L hatches put me off simply because they used more fuel than my 3.4L Cayman. My old boss had a Mito Veloce which I drove a few times. Like the 308, flawed but fun - and I'll take that over "good" every time. Sadly, it was the only car I've seen since my '98 Punto that breaks more often than it brakes...

Mito not much fun to throw around.

What car would you buy then bro? Not from this list but in general 🤔

Prince engine a disaster? Sure it sounds like crap and breaks every week, but to drive...it's just fun. Also, while the Prince breaks every week, most non-Japanese cars are about the same in that regard. For context: I test drove an M4 Comp, Giulia QV, Supra and A110 in a single day, Macan GTS the week before and turned up to all those test drives in my 981CS (as featured on this channel!). I've also driven 10 hot hatches, 1 Lambo and all cylinder counts other than a V12 in the last 12 months. Please don't take that as bragging, I'm lucky to have that opportunity, I'm listing that to say this: having driven and rejected all of those, I bought a 308 GTi with a Prince engine. Maybe I'm insane, maybe the Prince engine is really good. Probably both- but I definitely did my research: that engine hasn't been unreliable for a long time. It's no Lexus (of which I've had 3) but I'll take a Prince engine over anything VAG have to offer. Reliability was mostly fixed post-2017, every mechanic knows how to fix them and, most importantly, the Prince (in the right guise) is the most exciting 4-pot since Richard Burns was WRC champion. That last comment was really why I listed all those cars I drove - based on driving all the cars, I'll take the Prince engine. Actually I'll take its predecessor, the TU in the 306 GTi-6, but that doesn't have Android Auto and massage seats 🤣

The r56 engine is fine if you look after it and take some decent precautions. Replace gaskets, replace timing chain whilst at it and it'll last thousands of miles without many issues.

​@@jakey9065 I feel like "replace gaskets" and "thousands of miles without MANY issues" is very similar to what an Alfa dealer once told me about a 159: "if you look after it well, it'll work at least once a month" 🤣 Considering I bought a Prince-engined car last week, you're worrying me...

Previously owned a 208 gti and the only issue I had after 50000 miles was a coil pack, which cost around £100 to fix. Other than that it was bullet proof and I drove it hard most of the time aswell.
