General Comments:

This car has been abused to to no end. I deliver pizza in it, and have run this thing in all kinds of conditions; dirt roads, mud, gravel roads, pastures, creeks (yes creeks, and other various torments.

I only change the oil when I think about it. It has averaged out to about every 15,000 miles. No Kidding!

I have never changed the air filters.

It has 196,000+ miles on the original transmission.

Gas mileage is great. I put 10 dollars in and run all week!

This car has even humiliated a few modified NOPI cars after a light turns green.

This little go cart will get up and go.

This car refuses to die.

Faults:

Down pipe and manifold needed replaced after 1 month.

Clutch needed replaced after 2 months.

Very bad rust on the wings.

General Comments:

This is a great wee pocket rocket. A few problems with the car, but that has been due to its age as it is 11 years old.

Faults:

CV Boots are cracking, should be replaced soon, but haven't actually failed.

Speakers were blown.

One of the fog lights was cracked.

General Comments:

Wow, this car makes me giggle every time I stomp on the accelerator, & it's hard not to. The engine happily races towards its 7500rpm rev limiter (overseas cars had an 8500rpm limiter), and really pulls hard above 4500rpm.

The handling is quite tight, & the 92-94 cars came with bigger front & rear sway bars.

My family & friends have all been amazed by how modern & sporty it looks (previous years had a squarer dash/interior). The bucket seats hold you quite well, but seem a touch high.

The ride is a bit harsh, but it's to be expected with the sport suspension & such a short wheelbase.

This car is the complete polar opposite of my Volvo stationwagon, & while I've driven a lot of sports cars, this is definitely the most fun I've had behind the wheel.

Parts are harder to find than with a Honda, but the community behind the Swift GT makes it a little easier.

I could go on for hours, but you should probably just check out the forum.

Faults:

Alternator changed at 190000km.

Brakes changed at 185000km.

Door windows didn't want to come down.

It takes a long time to heat up, but excellent heating.

A lot of rust everywhere.

General Comments:

Check the rust beside the direction tables, it could cause you a lot of trouble.

Check the floor for rust.

Took an accident at 65km/hour in a stopped car and I am 100% OK.

Replaced the water pump at 150,000.

Replaced the alternator at 175,000.

Replaced the clutch at 200,000.

Resealed the transmission at 200,000.

Broke off the key in the ignition again at 220,000.

Recently started burning oil at 1 quart every 1,000 miles.

General Comments:

This car has saved my rear so many times.

It runs really well for the number of miles.

Very fuel efficient.

The car just won't die (thank goodness).
