1989 Suzuki Swift GTi review from Croatia
"115 BHP, 750 Kilos - need I say more?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
NONE!
Synchromesh between 2nd and 3rd was a little worn.
I had to go for injection calibration twice.
Biggest minus - this car is basically a 2 seater. I am 186 cm tall, and I could barely squeeze in. Behind me my college notes wouldn't fit.
General comments?
In my student years, for the money invested (around 3500 EUR), it was the quickest and most economic car by far.
Good rustproofing, extreme reliability.
Performance absolutely unexpected by other driver's on the road trying to play with you.
