The muffler needed to be replaced at 96,000 miles due to rust.
The Swift is very fast for its size. My friend has a 1998 Pontiac Grand Am GT, and I can keep up in my Swift with ease.
The best part about the Swift is that it gets almost 40 mpg with a mix of highway and city driving.
The interior, in my opinion, is it's only downfall. It has plenty of room in the front seat, but the back seat is cramped for anyone over 5' tall. However, the rear seat folds down, and because the rear hatch opens so wide, you are able to fit things in it that wouldn't fit in most cars trunks.
I appreciate your review. I am thinking about buying a Swift or a Metro. Since I will be doing a lot of highway travel, can anyone tell me what these cars are like at 70-80mph?
