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

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.

Haha the first time I saw the light I had no idea what it was, just thought the car handeld poor driving conditions very well. Also fun going into roundabouts at stupid speeds.

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.
You obviously haven't driven too many 'euro trash' cars

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.

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.

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\

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.
