It’s underrated because cars are a status symbol for a lot of people and the humble little Suzuki doesn’t have a German badge or 350bhp.

SUZUKI is the last japanese car built to a Japanese formula. Built it simply, built it cheap, make it reliable long lasting cheap to run , enjoyable to drivE AND HONEST.

i Had the 2007 one with 124Hp i had it for 11years, driven like hell every weekend mountain blast and so on... got it on coilovers and it was a super good on corners :) not a single issue only 1 lightbult for rear licence plate failed and that was it :) totaly bulletproof

Had a 2009 model year for about 4 years, drove it like I stole it, never skipped a beat! Such fun cars!

I love my Three door 2012 Swift Sport, a brilliant little car which i bought back in November 2020, it never fails to please and puts a smile on my face every time i drive it, Costs are pretty good too, Suzuki dealerships have serviced it since new and i still have the main Suzuki dealer service and MOT it every year. An economical little Pocket Rocket !!!!

You're video of the black Zc31s is the reason why I bought a zc32s. You had so much fun, which I experience every day that i drive mine

I live in Jamaica and i own a 2013 sports version of the Swift with a CVT transmission (Tip-Tronic) it takes a really souped up car to out run my Swift, they are very underrated

I had the Ignis sport and loved that car! So much fun and was surprisingly quick on a mountain road in the twistes

Fantastic little cars..loved my 32s..wish i still had it..

Had mine 3 years, bought as my first car absolutely love it great motor. It Was one of the only nippy and good handling cars I could get insured to at the time. Can beat much more powerful cars on B roads/country lanes.

I have a zc32 same colour bola b7 alloys and used to have a remus exhaust system straight pipe it was lovely!

I already got one, otherwise i would have been persuaded now!! Great little car, absolutely love it!

Have mine for 6 months now. The deep exhaust notes from a stock one is quite sensational on the ears. I agree 100% w/ you on everything you said about this car. What exhaust mods does this one have? I'm loving those notes, no pops and bangs, just barks.

Just bought one there great fun

They love them on the Isle of Wight, seen loads of them over there in the summer.

I love your videos. Would love to see you do a video on the Mazda 2 DE Sport. I’ve got on and i honestly believe they are heavily underrated

I remember how tiff needle praised it so that's all the approval I need

i ad a 1.3gti the old 1 i loved how it was so underrated

They are great cars I have the newer 2018 model with the 1.4 t and it’s amazing

Great little cars. I have a 2006 SSS that I bought in 2020. I can get more for it today than I paid for it then.

Such a masterpiece ❤

Tickle the engine to 150bhp (doable without breaking the bank) you have the same power to weight ratio as the FN2 Civic Type R - but with way superior handling. Had my 2016 ZC32 for six years now and still puts a smile on my face. Coming from a Subaru Impreza Spec C Type RA, that's praise indeed!

Got my 24 model a few months back. For the price I paid, other brands considered "better" only offered me cars with very awkward and uncomfortable interiors, very basic exterior designs and not even half the safety and comfort options the sport did. On top of that I get an extremely fun ride that turns heads everywhere I go and an insanely good service price. Beyond wanting more people to get Swifts Sports because they are super cool and good for the price, I really wish other brands learned that comfort and good looks shouldn't be locked behind excessive prices.

I bought my triple s few weeks ago and its a very nice car for that price

I have one and I love it taall it's a great car

I've got one of the last mk2's registered. Had it since it was 5 months old. No issues, whatsoever. Stage 1 Remap took bhp up to 150 and it accelerates like a 2-Stroke now! Never timed it but I reckon it's sub 8 seconds now. Think I'll be buried with it.

Hi 1:38 in, any idea what make the aftermarket front splitter is? Cheers

only just come across your video..we've got the 1.2 model of this shape brilliant cars its our 3rd swift very reliable and the handling is great i put on better tyres and sticks to the road

I have owned a 31S Swift Sport and a 32S Swift Sport, they are not bad cars at all, very good on fuel, reliable and are fun to drive but they are not "Hot-Hatches" and have basically no tuning potential unless you want to spend £4'000 on a supercharger kit or try and cobble together a turbo kit. Ultimately this is why the wider community are not too fussed about them and I know it hurts when people hate your car all because it is slow without considering any of the other factors of ownership but that is the main reason. I think if Suzuki just turbocharged them from factory and gave them 160hp / 180hp then they would have been far more popular and would have filled a similar role as the Ford Fiesta ST and Vauxhall Corsa VXR. But personally as the cost of living gets ever more expensive and fuel continues to rise over the coming years we might see more and more people going back to cars like this and they might finally get the recognition they deserve.

Is there a lot of difference in the older shape to this the one previous the facelift as im thinking about getting one if anyone can advise me id appreciate it ive got £3k for one

yeah its got a small boot the pram is a bit of a cram in! xD even a 24" bar chainsaw just about fits

I want one

Theres a reason these are the cars you get given to rent at the nurburgring. They stick to the road like crazy

Link for the front lip?

hi can you get pops and bangs on this car do you have to change exhaust system can you please let me know thank you

Would love a Sport 2012 for my first car, but my budget is about £4500 and there isn't anything on the market near me for that 😆

Ive owned multiple swifts and you are right they are underrated however they are SLOW and not cheap to mod. I had one exactly the same as the one in this video but swapped it for a Fiesta ST

I'm interested in getting one but I want to go through my options before buying one, can I still get it factory made?

I will be buying one of these tomorrow. Had asked for one with a manual transmission but they're sold out so am stuck with the cvt.

this car goes unbelivably hard with a 4.5k supercharger kit easy 300bhp

I bought a 2015 Swift Sport R in Brazil after watching your video, even though I'm going to suffer from a lack of mechanical and trim parts. The car really doesn't have impressive numbers but the set is well balanced and the fuel consumption is very good.

Is it a good beginners car? I want to get something sporty but all the mainstream cars are so expensive insurance wise...

Simple really, they've all been underpowered compared to the competition. The ZC32S got a very nice interior and the 33S finally got a turbo though. The Ignis Sport had recaro seats from factory and was a fun, lightweight high revving car. I had one as my first car and I adored it, but for the money you can buy a lot that's much faster and better equipped, this applies to all the swifts imo.

Actually you can get around 150bhp with a proper remap and induction kit/panel. I'd recommend Avon ~Tuning. 14bhp and 17nm extra torque. Its not much, but it is when the car only weighs a tonne!

It would be the perfect toy with a k20/k24 in it

how much would it be insure one of these at 18?

I wanted one of these but the current prices are a joke.

Who underrates them? They’re epic

How old is this video if there’s a hosepipe ban

I like this car. Just the interior i don't like very much.

Was toying with one of these, bit got a fiesta st instead

Everyone bought a Cooper instead!

They don;t send them to independent crash tests like NCAP or IIHS, last time they sent a car for independent crash tests is scored terribly bad. You crash in this and you are dead. A coffin with wheels.

if only it had awd

Ok how do you tell it’s real one , or made up one ,

The 2023 is lighter, more powerful and lighter. It corners like ANYTHING on the market. Polos GTI gets the rope. Until a straight away that is🤕

Throttle response? Jamie, they haven’t had throttles on cars for bloody years mate

overrated you see millions of them in UK underrated are cars like abarth alfa skoda maybes mazda 3 mini MG

Panda 100hp, Twingo 133 and Ignis Sport are all better, more fun options

It's not underrated, it's underpowered. Even with the new turbo Swift Sports, they could've added an extra 10kW 20Nm and it would've been a proper weapon.

With the amount of money you spend trying to modify one of these you may as well buy a better car.

Years ago when this level of car is what I was after I never went after a swift. Pretty slow compared to there opponents, more expensive to mod, and stock always seemed to be driven by women, old people, or men who can suck a banana out of its skin. I've got an m2 now, but even when my mrs needs a new daily I Don't even think of these for some reason.

These are so slow 😭 and my nana owns a swift sport 😂 no word of a lie. Go get a Type R integra or anything but this gutless roller skate

best car for brokies, aka 99% of the people

I’ve watched your channel for years, I think this is the first time I’ve commented, if you want this channel to grow you need to stop filming shit cars 👍

It's built like shit though 😂

Because it looks crap imo

Could do with a K20 swap.
