What can you tell me about a Suzuki Swift?

Question

I am looking at parting with my fuel guzzler car and getting a small car. I like the look of the Suzuki Swift.

How good are they on fuel? Are they cheap to run?

How roomy is it inside? Will passengers be comfortable in the back?

Is there room for a baby seat?

Australians:What side is the indicator thing on? Left or the steering wheel or right?

Are they a good car to buy or should I be looking at other small cars?

Answer 1

They have good mileage, but I would recommend a Toyota Yaris, it is comparable but has better reliability ratings

Answer 2

Suzuki Swifts are quite a good car, they are very popular and you will find it easy to get spare parts for.

If you get a 2 door version, there is very little room in the back seat. 4 doors have more room, however, they are still cramped for a taller person.

Indicators are on the correct side for Aussies, IE, on the right hand side of the steering column (or, all the ones I have driven have been)

They are a fairl decent small car. Most 2 doors will be a 1L 3 cyl and I would advise against them,. They are very underpowered, particularly if you carry passengers or drive on highways, and I would look for a 1.3L 4cyl version.

Other small cars worth considering are Toyota Corollas, Ford Festiva, Holden Barina, Nissan Pulsars, Mitsubishi Mirage or Lancers.
