I bought a year old ex-demo manual in red, 4 years ago. It still brings a smile to my face every time I drive it. Are there better cars? More plush? Quieter? Sure. But for all everyone complains about the price, there’s not another new car out there for the same money that can match it for driving dynamics.
I've had this model (a manual one) since it came out in 2018. I drove the new one a couple of weeks ago and can honestly say the new one drives just as well as this Sport, it's just obviously slower.
Swift are the most reliable n fun to drive car. Japanese car are well known for good quality and the spare parts are affordable too as compared to VW Polo, unreliable n expensive spare parts.
Recently got myself one of these in black with gold badges and dark window tint for my birthday and personally I have to say its great. I was lucky with mine where they replaced the crap infotainment system with a phillips unit out of the factory and I got mine shipped over from Japan and had to wait about 5 weeks. It doesn't seem to have native sat nav out of the box with it but everything else is miles better than the regular unit and I just use Android Auto anyway. My only complaints so far after about 700km is the road noise at times and personally I wish the exhaust note was better. Thankfully thats easily fixed with aftermarket solutions which I plan to do down the line. My favorite parts about it is most of everything else and personally I quite like driving experience in corners, cities and highways and especially off the line. Its quite quick and because its a Swift cops don't really look twice at it. My plans are most likely a tune of some variety, Exhaust and maybe wheels? Not to sure on that as the factory wheels I'm starting to like more as time goes on.
I wanted to add that door problem I also have to. You have to sort of slam the door a little but with the boot you can just barely touch and it closes fine. Its quite odd. I had no idea it was a Suzuki thing but I guess that is just a quirk.
Try dropping the window think it's the slight overpressure in the cabin as the door closes, I took ours in for that issue and that was the explanation.
If Suzuki have brought out a newer swift model shouldn't the current models be cheaper than the new ones? Generally that was my understanding of a new model being released! I'm confused as to why Suzuki wouldn't drop the prices on the current ones to get rid of "old" stock.
@@jesus_built_my_hotrod thanks for your input, but the outgoing models should be lowered in price even more so than what the new models is selling for. And I don't mind either of them Swift's looks, they're cute in my eyes. Beauty is subjective.
Don't they only have a 3 star Euro NCAP safety rating? Not sure why any new car would only get 3 stars and why Suzuki would choose to build to this low sub standard.
This old gen exterior looks so much better than the turd that is the new gen design. But the pricing is expensive now whilst its still built as a cheap sh*tbox.
A great little car let down by Suzuki not offering a decent engine. It’s ok but not brilliant. It’s not as refined as the competition in both the interior quality & what’s under the hood. A bit more fire power would be nice.
The retail pricing vs the reality for S-Cross pricing at dealers is a bit surprising. It doesn’t deserve to cost more than 45K, and most dealers are selling them MUCH cheaper than that.
No it won't. Drive one and you'll see. I had a Golf GTI Turbo and I prefer my new Swift sport. feels as fast when that turbo comes in. .. and a lot more fun to drive with better mpg. (The 0-60 time and BHP figures Suzuki supplied are totally wrong, proven on rolling roads on many YT videos).
I’d buy the outgoing model in a base manual. LED headlights, proximity key, push button start and climate control air! If you need more herbs, the 3cyl turbo triple in the GLX will suffice (frugal and fun, with a spare wheel)
