I have had two Swifts now. The previous shape and the latest version (pre-facelift). The latest model is much more refined than the original although it isn't as quiet and doesn't ride as well as my wife's VW UP! which smothers bumps that the Swift thumps over. Having said that, the Swift is a very tidy handling little car and it rides a little better than the Skoda Yeti I had before it. I also like that fact that they are reasonably exclusive; almost all Suzukis are bought by private buyers rather than companies and fleets. Buy a Swift for its looks, reliability, handling, fuel economy, value and safety (excellent spec and Euro ncap score). In the interests of balance, I would say don't buy a Swift if you really value boot space, soft feel interior plastics, ultimate refinement and a cosseting ride. I am also a little disappointed that they only come with 12 months roadside assistance and a three year warranty. I think Suzuki should be offering five years given the competition from Korea.With the Suzuki they have a "good will" package, when the 3 year warranty is up some things are still covered even when the car is a year out of warranty. Also I am looking at a new swift how has your swift experience been like if you don't mind me asking, am I making the right choice?
Thanks

I would recommend the Swift to people but I won't be buying another because I need a bigger car and I miss the higher driving position of the Yeti I had before it. Suzuki may still keep my business with the S-Cross though, depends what I think of the 500L and others on my shortlist.
