Here rocking a 2008 Suzuki swift sport, great and fun little car.

I owned one of these about 10-15 years ago, it was one of my favourite cars. A daily joy.

Perfect, an honest, decent car. Any more options than these is just an extra, we really don’t need anything above these. Waiting for the manual Sport version

What was fun was to see a manual gear shift. I have grown up with manual but have not had one for more than a decade. At about €20k this is good value. Apart from manual shift I like the blast from the past of the simple rev counter and speedo which are so much clearer and obvious than many premium displays of stuff I do not need. I do not mind the tacky bits in a car at this price and think Suzuki have made a good judgement on what to let us have for the price. Do I want one; no. But this is where new car development ought to be concentrated, or how how produce modern low cost cars.

I wish we got cars like this in the US.

Toyota/Scion iM, Fiat 500, Kia Rio, Toyota Yaris (including the rebadged Mazda2), Chevy Sonic, Chevy Bolt, Nissan Versa Note, Honda Fit, etc. If a sedan form factor is acceptable, the Nissan Versa sedan is available new with pretty good styling and features. It's about US$22k for the fully loaded CVT model with destination fee (or $18k if base+MT).

I think another reason is that it's easier for them to detect burnt out turn signals with incandescent bulbs. There's a larger difference in current draw. And they don't have to worry about good thermal management because when the turn signals burn out, it's the responsibility of the owner to replace them. A good example of poor LED thermal management is the 7.5 generation USDM Honda Accord (also called the 4.5 generation Honda Inspire). It added LED taillights with little thermal management, so the diodes burned out pretty quickly.

Very nice

I noticed the bullying on the Autobahn once when i was in a rented Polo. Not pleasant at all. Its the same in Britain. I notice i get bullied a lot more in my wifes Honda than in my Volvo.

Thomas blue edition 😁

Only thing is, they could have spent less than a £10 for the indicators to be LED. Apart from that, it's a good cheap car

What about ride comfort?

Nice review. Btw, the Mercedes looked like a w123 coupé.

What have you meant in mentioning the "energy regeneration into the battary" (17:10) by the Mild-hybrid battery? Energy (from braking) for assisting the engine with mument in low RPM, or, energy for some of the car systems? By the way, I thought I am the only one who incounteres such a wierd persona from behind :) Simple and beneficial review in my opinion, especially in the functional side, which starts from important to less as the video goes👌🏼

Wish you tested all autonomous systems.

Love it. Simple and a manual ❤❤❤

I own car but you seem to have the steering wheel on wrong side. You must speak to Suzuki about that. The car is slow but actually acceleration is not that bad as the battery kicks in. I am not so tall so leg room is fine. We don't have unlimited speed on motorway so 70 mph should be fine. I haven't really driven it on a motorway journey so can't comment. The cross traffic warning is very useful. It has plenty of safety kit and the gear shift is very slick. But probably needs 20bhp more. But it's ok for city traffic. It does handle very nicely at speed and it's like a laser beam handling wise and you can put it exactly where you want it. Boot space is ok as long as you don't carry over sized items on the regular. The 1.4 turbo boosterjet engine would be a very good addition. It's better than a Pican'tgo and it can come with a 7 year warranty in UK plus Suzuki reliability and a lot of kit like cruise control and air con so it's not a bad time. It's the overall package which makes the car. And like all small cars, it's compromised but as long as you accept the lack of inches then it's fine.

A full electric version would be exiting.

This seems really slow. I'm in australia, and my 2nd car is a 88kw honda jazz....i get bullied all the time cos its a little slow getting to motorway speeds or even in the city as the CVT isnt that great for fast takeoffs. The swift seems more of the same...just not enough power (65kw/ton)

Nice video. Thanks

Also I have no idea which country you're in, but there's a chance Swifts in your market are manufactured in Thailand or India whereas EU models are made in Japan which would mean higher labour costs to build them. Probably higher transport costs too. It all adds up.

If the car was significantly cheaper it would make sense. But being so small and impractical, cheap materials, weak engine. What car makes 83 hp? Thats gotta be illegal. I know its not but dang. This car is a joke. Maybe as a used car it makes sense. Certainly not new.

@faeinthebay

I think it depends on the buyer. For people who rarely go on the motorway, the low horsepower is probably fine, especially with the torque boost from the mild hybrid system. It also seems pretty practical to me, and has acceptable amount of trunk space especially with a rear seat folded. It's just meant to be a small and cheap car, similar to my 2013 Fiat 500. I don't expect it to have amazing acceleration, I just expect it to be compact and economical. With the rear seats folded it actually has good cargo space, enough room for 12 large bags of potting soil. This Suzuki is probably even more spacious. I don't think it should be illegal to have a car with a 12 second 0-100 kph time. I drove an 8th generation Honda Civic which was about the same, and although it needed some wringing out I never felt in danger.

Great, detailed review. You’ll probably be surprised to know that this is among the most popular cars in India. This one that you are driving was also probably built there.

Sadly, we don't get this cute little car here in the USA.

This car should be 12k, maybe 15k fully loaded and not more. A Renault Clio starts at around 16-17 000. Even if you factor in the supposed Japanese reliability, there is no competition, the French car is far superior. It seems the Japanese manufacturers have lost their competitive edge. They never advanced the comfort, the driving dynamics or the rust proofing and the gap in reliability has been largely closed. The pricing is not competitive for what are very basic, borderline outdated cars. Apart from Toyota, most other brands have reduced their lineup to just a handful of models and without a major change, a lot of those manufacturers will be forced to leave the European market for good.

Nice to see you having a laugh with your lovely partner!

It's a shame you don't have a review of that car.
