2016 Suzuki Swift Sport Review

Показать описание
If you want a genuinely cheap new hot hatch, the Suzuki Swift Sport is more or less in a class of one. There's a reason why car magazines love this car: it's small, lightweight, and feels like a real old-school hot hatch. It'll be replaced next year, so let's wave a cheery goodbye.

I've had my sport 9 months now, cracking little pocket rocket, take it round the country lanes and it handles superbly, even though it isn't the quickest, it still feels very nippy and acceleration is very good, take it past 4, 000rpm and this car comes alive
Smile on my face every time I drive my sport recommend to anyone and good video summed it up perfectly!

I just sold my Swift Sport and "upgraded" to a Nisan SSS pulsar turbo since I now have a son and need more room. I tell you, I miss my Suzie so much and I hate my new car compared to what I had.

I've owned one of these for 6 months now. Whilst still not mega fast against the plethora of turbo hatches these days. The Swift Sport is renowned to be quicker than Suzuki's book figures. But, I agree. It's all about the drive. The chassis is so good, and the car so light... that on the average U.K. back road it can show far more expensive and faster metal a clean pair of heels. Epic little car.

I can vouch for the lack of soundproofing in the car. I park it in my car port and I can clearly hear the radio from inside the house. The car's doors and and windows are closed. The dash buzzes over local coarse chip roads. But I don't care - it's brilliant, because it's so simple.

Nice Video well done! It is indeed a fun car.

I drive an RS meganne and the wife has a swift sport. I honestly prefer driving her car around town its alot of fun handles so well and is very nippy. 0-60 times mean nothing these days it's all about the drive and this car drives so well. I think with regards to the Ting Ting noise from the rain it feels a bit like a 90's honda, thin metal on the roof but that's probably how they've kept the weight down to improve the handling.

Bottom line is these are fantastic cars.

I didn't think too much of this car either ... until I drove one. If they were more powerful I don't think they'd be nearly as much fun. You really have to engage with the car to get the most out of them. Working up and down through the gears, the way it sticks to the road and entices you to push it hard through the corners, and the fact that you can put your foot down regularly without too much fear of losing your licence all combine to deliver an honest and fun driving experience. Besides that, they're incredibly reliable and not unreasonable on gas.

Your mic and the moving on road camera were a bit annoying but generally a good review. I love the car! I think it is the most value for money car you could buy out there. Looking forward to a review of the new toyota yaris grmn and the new suzuki swift sport when they will come out.

I have the regular non-sport, 5 spd manual, version of the swift. Still, it's a great car. I use it as my daily driver. Very nimble and corners really well. The plastics used in the interior doesn't bother me. But what i do want is a 6th gear!

Both fun and super reliable . What car ? recently stated that this generation of swift was the most reliable small car .

According to Auto Express latest spec on this car, it does 0-62 in 9.1 secs. I'm sure that's a lot slower than advertised when it first came out. In fact it's slower than our old 2013 sport which was 8.7 secs.

Mine has a cold miss from new, Suzuki can't 'find' it. It's has a brief 3 second lag on acceleration, but it handles well, is fun, and scares a few bigger cars. I got it cos it was the closest modern car to driving a worked mini, I mean a real mini, not one of those BMW things.

5th and 6th gear aren't hard to work out and the doors shut like any other car, this is a good review don't get me wrong but that's such a weird thing to say...

I love just everything at the Swift. By the way it's great for slalom races :)

You use 5th gear? I find when I'm finished with 4th it's already time to drop it into 6th... 😉

I have same swift, blue meatllic but 5 door, it is very fun to drive it. But there are 6 things wich I hate it: 1, The revs do not drop during the driving in high revs, If you have feeling for driving you can recognize it, 10% users are able to recognize the non drop revs. In Japan is possible remaping the ECU. 2, Front passenger window is not automatic, you must hold the button, 3, Spare tire is missing, I bought the 17" spare tire because I do not belive in the stupid compressor with glue in bottle. 4, Winter tires 17" 195/45 is impossible to buy. The summer tires are only by 4 manufacturers therefore the price is about 100EUR per 1 pc. 5. If you have model 2014 - present, your car is equipped with stupid TPMS due to stupid EU legislation. If you have the set of winter tires, you have to buy 4pcs sensors 30EUR per 1 pc (lifetime is 4years). I blind the signal light at control panel. 6. The car computer. Also the stupid EU legislation. Why must information about ideal shifting (Ideal is only for stupid EU legislation, the clever driver know what is ideal shifting for car) covering the half of display and is impossible to hide it?

Generally, this car is perfect for this money, I enjoy each drive to my work. The ESP is possible complete deactivate if you want, this is very good. Also I supose the maintenance costs will low due to common atmospheric engine.

sorry but I have to disagree, if you can't work out 5th gear to 6th then that's to the driver? doors not shutting because you're not closing it. And I can never feel the engine rocking when I'm idling in traffic. this is a great car but don't race it, you can literally see the fuel gauge dropping. apart from that. good video!
