Why no fast reply :(

its fun, I am fairly sure it would take some talent to punt a guard rail, you hook in too much and the little ESP light flickers and just keeps turning pompoms

Its really hard to get it to light up too, been trying :D

On our GV ya can get the ESP light to come on by driving on the highway during rain. Well in really heavy rain with 5+cm deep puddles at 130kph anyway.

Granted i only test drove one for about 20mins... but they are comfy. I also test drove a Polo GTI though, and that was WAY better. The swift was a little more noisy and felt less refined, and the Polo seats and steering wheel were awesome.

I'd still take the Swift over some euro trash.

I just pulled the head of an Opel Barina, I am so glad I didnt buy some Euro thing, why have 3 different types of fastener on an engine?

It is a bit noisy and stiff, but ive owned nothing but Sierras, Vitaras and Minis, you could take the wheels off and I would still think its comfy and quiet.

Euro cars are meant to be driven, not fixed. They're certainly not put together with the same logic as Jap cars

I put my lady in a runout 10 RE4 with Alcantera Seats and keyless. Put on some rims and a back stainless 2 1/2 Inch and dropped it 2 inches.
I actually love punting it around. 1.5 Manual and it goes good. Sounds Nice.
Boot Space lets it down.

How good is it, on a windy back road when the car in front is going a bit slow you can just knock it back to third and go round em Armsup



Oh yeah, Suzuki 4wd forum, y'all wouldn't have a clue what I mean :thefinger:

hey mate, my 1st job out of school was driving all the new cars off the wharf at the port of brisbane, swifts are funish.... feel a little bit cheap for me in the plastics and build quality, in saying that tho i was just looking for a new car for the missus to drive because she finaly got her p's ( she is about to turn 22...) and we had our fist kid so i wanted something new and SAFE!!! for WHEN she crashes it, in the end i got turnt off them because they didnt have enough boot space and no rear door ( i have 2 prolapsed disks) the car i would run to when hoping off the bus at the wharf was the vw r32, it is my dream car, i raced one against a mate in a evo 10 and i had it all over him!
i ended up buying a 2012 lancer plat edition cost me 25000 with life time warrenty on paint leather and plastics and i havent looked back\

hope this helps

Buy a Honda Jazz, take off exhaust from the catalytic converter back and start it up and rev it,
If you don't like that sound you should not be a car enthusiast.
It's brilliant.
