Suzuki Swift

Ok I purchased new my first Suzuki Swift around 2010. 1.5 Litre manual five speed. Quick enough. Robust construction. Confident handling stopping. Easy on the eye. Nothing ever goes wrong with the car. Totally reliable. I sell the car after 3 to 4 years. The residual value is impressive heaps superior to any euro car. Frugal on gas. Fixed price servicing. Safety features aplenty. My use is mainly two people however two adults plus two kids easy. The car does not stress. Model changes shape features etc over 10 years minimal. I have owned 4 Swi...

Only just recently bought this car and at the time, I was looking for a hybrid . Hybrids in any make had an 8 to 12 month wait which I was unwilling to wait for. I test drived a 2022 Toyota Yaris mid range with a petrol engine . Disliked the rough ride and clunky feel it gave. Also , their top range model had only drum brakes on the rear. The Yaris I tested clearly was slower at braking and I had to adjust how I would normally drive. The Suzuki Swift GLX Turbo comes standard with dics brakes all round. The Swift handled well on the road for a s...

Rented this car out at Apex car rentals Cairns and look if its the last car on the lot well so be it. I rather a bigger car for the Suzuki Swift felt underpowered esp going along the Bruce highway and Captain Cook Highway i had my foot down on the Accelerator and we weren't going anywhere 66kw is not really going to cut it but once the car is on the highway theres cruise hold and a speed limiting function . I took it up the range towards Kuranda and i had to change gears to L the was two people in the car there is also a S mode on the gear shif...

Love my little zippy sporty car!
Cheap on petty like half a tank $30 to $40 on fuel not too bad. The only thing is the boot just a tad bit small :( but all goods. Zippy and cheap to maintain. My service is so good mechanically no problems. Runs well. Trust me it maybe small but it’s fast ;) reliable little sporty car :) just make sure if your tall double check your height because tall people tend to bump there heads when they get in my car haha :) my sons nearly 6.ft and he kinda fits lol . But still love the car.

My car is excellent it’s fuel sufficient and very reliable it drives very easy and steers very easy it’s is basically perfect I love my car it takes my everywhere .

Have had the car for almost 3.5 years and no issues whatsoever. Very reliable. Engine performance from the little turbo engine is adequate and returns good fuel economy. GLX includes more features then the base model for not much more money. Car primarily used for local trips with occasional longer drives. Car is regularly serviced in accordance with manufacturer's recommendation, with intermediate oil changes undertaken by choice.

I drive 65k a day and find the car reliable and economical. It handles easy and the cruise control keeps me in the speed limit. Boot is big enough for what I need.

I love the handling and fuel economy of this car (light weight helping both of those factors). It has lots of great options and is very smooth at any speed, relaxing to drive etc.
The only thing that lets it down is the cheap interior build quality - edges are sharp, surfaces hard but worst of all there are squeaks and vibrations from the dash and door trim which is a real shame. If they had added just a small bit to weight of the vehicle and made the interior more solid and better fitting it would have rivalled a lot of small European cars.

When I bought they said. Small on the outside big on the inside.
HOW TRUE.!!!!
I have a larger body but it fits snugly and comfortably in the drivers seat. WOW......Goes like a rocket except for the local speed limit.
Lovely white colour.
I am smiling.

Take care of this little thing, and it will go and go and go!
I bought it brand new in 2008, currently sitting at 175,000kms and overall it's been a brilliant car.

If you're looking to buy a second-hand one, make sure you ask about these things and whether or not they've happened, which are apparently very common in these swifts and of course it all happens outside of warranty:

1. The heater core suddenly blew in 2018, dripping hot liquid over my foot while driving.
The part, while very cheap, is located in a stupid place under the engine - s...

I love my little Swift. We have the Sport edition and it is just so much fun! It reminds me of my youth spent in hot hatches! My husband uses it to commute to work 30km up a winding mountain road and loves the performance. We have the bright yellow one and it makes me smile everyday. We have the 2015 edition with 50kms on the clock. Bought 2nd hand 4 months ago and so far, so good

power at 80 klms till reached 4500 is very slow of mark at 80. Klms till reached 4500 revs when cold could of had more power but it is not

Bought new in January 2020 fuel efficient excellent performance from.a tiny 1.2 liter dual jet engine. Highly recommended car for a small price of $18990 drive away. Only problem.the boot is a little too small

I have a 2012 FZ Suzuki Swift manual. Bought the manual as the auto was gutless - wouldn't even consider it.
I'm coming up to 300,000km today and everything is original. I drive 110km everyday and it hasn't missed a beat.
Clutch is original. I changed the brakes maybe 40,000km ago, but they really didn't need it. Nothing else has needed to be replaced except for battery, which is a consumable.
I do have an on-going issue that I manage that started at around 250,000km - it will go into limp mode but you can reset this by cycling the ignition. It usually happens once a month when I drive over a big bump and the engine and stability control light will come on.

Second owner of this 2015 Swift GLX since early this year. Car had around 38000km and it is now at 45,000. Compared to my old Kia, this car is very fuel efficient and built better even though it is much smaller. Great for everyday use. No serious mechanical trouble. Battery died with no warning. A few other things have annoyed me as well. The inbuilt Garmin GPS sucks. I just paid $125 for an updated map. They don't tell you the map has not been updated since 2018. What a waste of money. Suzuki, fight for a better deal for your customers. You ca...
