The Suzuki Swift makes a versatile, unpretentious, stylish and very cool rival to the likes of the Mini. A fun and sporty ride combines with a great level of kit provided at a good price. Likely to appeal to many motorists from newly qualified young drivers looking for something with serious street cred to those looking for an economical and environmentally friendly commuter car or just run-about town small car. The Swift offers a no compromise approach to fuel economy, with the diesel model offering a great 62.8mpg combined and fits into tax band B without losing out on performance. Seriously loveable and because it is not as populous on the road as some of its rivals, it retains a sense of exclusivity. When admiring glances are forthcoming at the supermarket car park, you will be glad you opted for this little gem.

This is the Suzuki Swift’s most outstanding feature and is really what makes you want to get into the car and look forward to the routine day to day journeys you have to make. The handling is precise and sure footed and what an amazingly agile car this has proven to be! The Swift never feels like it is in danger of losing it’s grip and inspires confidence in the driver to drive it in a spirited manner. The ride is fairly firm although not overly so.
