2005 Suzuki Swift Ltd review from Australia and New Zealand
"Well done Suzuki! A fantastic first car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong yet as it's brand new. I'll keep you posted.
General comments?
A well put together package for NZ $20,000!
Stylish body for such a small car.
It has a peppy engine which can deliver 5 litres/100 k's. Cabin noise is low even at 130 kph.
Handling is tight and responsive.
The cabin is well appointed and thoughtfully designed.
Pity the in-dash Clarion C.D player can't play mp3's though.
