1993 Suzuki Swift GTi review from Colombia
"Very high performance for the buck!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The first and second gears have had problems. Shifting from 3rd to 2nd is noisy, except when going very slow.
General comments?
I think this is one of the best sports cars for starters, considering its cost. I use it daily and race it during weekends. Handling is superb, and with suspension mods, it turns like on rails. With minor modifications, lap times are only seconds short of highly modified pure racing cars.
It is a real head turner, and owners of expensive German imports are always surprised.
