1994 Suzuki Swift Base review from North America
"My first and best car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only thing I ever had done other than new tires and maintenance, was a new clutch at about 80,000 miles.
General comments?
I wish I never traded this car in for a Durango in 2004. It was pushing 100,000 miles and I traded it in for $500. Biggest mistake of my life.
I got this car while in the US Navy. They had a red, white, and blue sell - the only colors it came in. I bought it for a low $5800 for the base model. No air and manual. The listed gas mileage was 38 in city and 45 on highway. I got about 60 on the highway in the beginning!
Yes it was small, but it handled well and was fun to drive. The hatch back was great, and the car was a great reliable car. I only wish I never sold it.
Oh, it handled great in bad weather like snow because it was front wheel drive, low to the ground, and stick shift. I would put a bag of books in the trunk area to weigh it down.
