Possibly Heading For This Warm Hatch

[Tillage5]

New Suzuki Swift Sport

Pricing, running costs, insurance etc. are perfect for me due to maybe doing less than 5-6k miles a year.

Don't think any other car comes close, was swayed slightly to the Astra GTC 1.4 (140 bhp) but recon the depreciation would take a big hack

You could try a Twingo... but tbh I'd choose the Swift too. It's so well specced as standard and looks really nice, a bit 'sporty' but not so garish as the Renaults.

 

[Tillage5]

Yeah that kinda twisted my arm the standard spec on them.

May have to look into what kind of gains (probably minimal) I can get from one of these.

 

[Mentalpen]

I Really like the swift.

Look very nice imo and get a good write up from what i've read.

They're pretty nippy too, I had a "comparison" with one recently on a dual carriageway with a LOT of roundabouts and I have to say I was expecting to walk all over him, he did a surprisingly good job of keeping up.

 

[Foxspeed]

would rather have a swift over the twingo not only spec wsie but it has its instruments where there supposed to be :w00t:

 

[Robo_#1]

:lol: ^^ the speedo is hard enough to see in the Twingo when your a dwarf like me, sod being 6' and trying to tell what speed your at!

 

[smoggy mark]

like the twin pipes on the back of the swift,they look a fun motor.

Oi! I'm not saying I didn't win the...erm... comparison.
:driveby:


It was faster than I gave it credit for though given its power/price.

 

[deadmau5]

They are 134bhp and 1045kg so the power to weight isn't too bad tbh. I have driven in convoy with Twingo 133s and they are also surprisingly brisk.

To be honest id rather walk or crawl or even be dragged along with a rope than drive a Renault again so yeh, vote swift!

Pride restored . Tbh the twingos are a capable little motor, I was on a RS track day a few years back with one on track day rubber and it was giving a lot of people hassle lol.

How about I drag the rope with my Renault? :bat:

 

[Arran]

Really like the Swifts. I looked at getting one before I saved up and bought the Clio. I never actually test drove one though.

 

[Seventh Seal]

They're a good little car. Just look at all the rentals at the nurburgring. I've seen a video of one doing a 8min30sec lap around the ring (with a few mods ((no change in power though)))!

I'd probably go for a twingo. It seemed a lot better drive than the Suzuki I test drove hence why I bought the twingo instead. The twingo's are really surprising for what they are. Might just be biased though because I had one.
