Suzuki Swift 1.0

...accross the ad for a Suzuki Swift 1990 Navy blah blah blah and the price was well below my budget, I would be able to pay my insurance in one go too. I rang the number and the man was more than happy for me to come down and havea test drive etc. I enlisted the help of my boyfriend (now my husband) and his dad. My boyfriend being a biker was no use really, but his dad had some experience in buying used cars. We arrived at the house and the car was ...

Review of Suzuki Swift 1.0

I bought a Suzuki Swift in Jan 04, and I can say I was impressed. Being quite ignorant about cars at that time, I was unsure about the pro's and con's on cars. See my other review for information...... When I drove the Swift out of the showroom I was impressed with the speed it could reach in such a short time. Not saying it is a porshe or anything, but it was impressive! Top speed I reached out of it was 120mph at a push. Not bad for a 998litre. ...
...parts (Being Japanese) - Basic Model (That is what you may be looking for) - Loud Engine - Electric window problem (in my personal opinion) Some good points include: - Cheap tyre replacement - Quick acceleration - Cheap Tax My Swift did around 25,000 miles in a year, quite a high mileage. It did not need any major works to be carried out, accept an insurance rapair (replacement bonnett). Parts are quick to be shipped in. You won't find many ...

Review of Suzuki Swift 1.0

...bought my Swift from a Suzuki dealer for £5999 with only 7 miles on the clock. It was my first car and for the first six months I loved it. It looks quite attractive and comes in a range of colours inside and out. Spec wise I got electric windows, central locking, radio/tape, but no power steering. However, as the car is so light, power steering would really have been superfluous. It's fun to drive, can get in anywhere, and does well over fifty ...
...my Swift's lack of finesse. Buy it if you're on a budget and don't spend too long on the motorway. One word of warning, though - Suzuki recommend servicing every 6 months (which in my opinion is completely unnecessary), and your warranty isn't valid if you don't comply. ...

Review of Suzuki Swift 1.0

I purchased my Swift eighteen months ago and I am fast approaching eighteen thousand miles. The fuel economy is excellent, I have avaraged almost sixty miles per gallon. It is fairly comfortable and responsive for a 1.0. The car is very light (hence the economy and response). The upholstery is cheap and cheerful and the paintwork is easily marked. I am pretty pleased with my Swift as an economical means of getting from A to B. I found that it was ...

The price has come down by quite a bit since I bought too. Doesn't handle too well when there's much weight in the car (ie more than one adult passenger). Also qualifies for £100 annual road fund licence. ...

It is small in size, yet doesn't stand out as being smaller then the rest, the controls and maneuverability of the car are both simple but uniquely responsive, and it is extremely economical - which is important for all those hard-up students out there. It ...

Review of Suzuki Swift 1.0

I have had my 1.0 Litre Silver Swift GLS SE for just over 4 months now and haven't found a single fault. Great drive, on short and long journeys, small and agile, easy to park and very, very cheap to run. £20.00 full tank can take me 300 miles. Very comfy seats that really hug you as you buz about the town, great specs for such a low budget car altough a lack of safety features such as Airbags and ABS which should be standard these days, do detract ...
...is a super little car, and great value for money. Features include: eleccy windows & mirrors, Power steering, front fogs, remote central locking (which is great for zapping at the car to lock/unlock). Also Sport seats and cloth trim, it's only a manual (5-speed) no automatic availble. Loads of other interesting little features that go to makes it's impressive spec. There is nothing better than winding down all the windows, shoving it into 2nd gear ...

Review of Suzuki Swift 1.0

The suzuki swift was my first car. I bought it because it was only 6 months old, and still a very reasonable price. I was advised against the purchase by my friends, who informed me that the suzuki swift was not 'cool' and that with such a small engine, it would take me hours to get anywhere! They were, however, proved wrong. The suzuki turned out to be a fantastic car for me. It may not be the fastest or the coolest, but in two years of owning the ...
...is also very economical to run, and relatively cheap to insure. Its size makes it easy to manouvre and park, and for such a small car, it has all the mod cons; CD player, heated rear windows (a blessing!) and electric windows. The boot is quite small, but that is to be expected in a small car. The rear seats do let down to give more room if necessary. There is also quite a bit of storage space in the car itself, from pockets at the back of the front ...

Review of Suzuki Swift 1.0

...1/8/07* I brought a Suzuki Swift about 3 years ago for my first car. Being a student who doesn't have money which's is growing on trees I had to find a reliable car which will get me from A to B, is cheap to run and also looks aright. I looked around but in the end I decided that the Suzuki Swift would be the one for me considering everything else on the market at that point in time. First impressions when I saw the car as that it was a bit old ...
...out that much. Luckily Suzuki noticed this and improved the model as time when on and the bumper was then coloured the same as the car which helped also and it almost looks like a near car. Also from the back in older versions you may notice the lights would go all along the back which may look good on a Honda Civic but doesn't really look great on the Swift. Suzuki noticed this and updated to only having the lights placed on the back corners and ...

Review of Suzuki Swift 1.0

We bought a silver suzuki swift 2 years ago (to replace a previous swift which was unfortunatly written off :S). The swift has been nothing but dependable. It is the perfect car if you want a cheap run about rather than a pleasurable driving experience. Yes, the car does feel flimsy, and there is a chronic problem with windows not closing properly (same on the previous swift also) but for the price bracket you would be hard pushed to find a better ...
...a) wanted a flashy looking car with good 0 - 60, b) wanted lots of leg room, especially in the driver seat, c) wanted overall comfort or the feeling that you are surrounded by an undentable piece of metal. However, I will definatly shed a tear the day I have to replace my swift, despite its foibles (although thats no time soon ... 50,000 miles and counting and not a hint of a problem except a flat tire :D ) ...

Review of Suzuki Swift 1.0

I needed a new car desperatley. My geriatric Metro was dying on me and it couldn't take any more Captain, it was gonna blow! I took along an entourage to a local car supermarket, Autolink in Maidstone. They knew far more about cars than I did and I wanted a reliable opinion. After talking to a man that stared just a little too much for comfort I managed to take a look around the yard. My little car was parked inside and it was love at first sight, ...

Absolutely nothing wrong with it and only 2 years old. I took it for a test drive and it was great. I haven't made such a good buy in years and I'm a seasoned shopper. ...

Last time that cost about £23.00. I have had my car just over 2 years and have done just over 7000 miles. Have never had a problem, she is very reliable.

I often nip up the M4 to Legoland, with myself and my daughter and it is fine when it's just the 2 of us. It has electric front windows, with a lock on the drivers side to stop kids playing with their window. Has a great cassette player. I have never been the greatest at parking, ...
